MV

Shimidah is an unusedkaiju that was originally planned for theLegendary Pictures filmGodzilla vs. Kong.^[1] It was most likely found in theHollow Earth before being scrapped.

Design[]

Appearance[]

Shimidah is an arthropodal sand-based creature reminiscent of a caterpillar or grub. Its skin has a craggy and wrinkled texture to it like those of pachyderm mammals, covered by large bumps and a row of crocodilian-like plating running down its backside. It has six segmented legs and two long forelimbs. Shimidah's head is bulbous with small circular eyes and holes that appear to be inner ears. Its mouth consists of six parts—two circular maws across the left-to-right axis and two mandible-like sets across the dorsoventral axis—that open like a carnivorous plant, which helps it devour several humans at once.^[1]

Personality[]

Shimidah is described as a reactive kaiju and possibly an ambush predator, as it will rise out of the sand when it senses something and then settle back in afterward.

Because Shimidah is adapted for burrowing environments, it is helpless on the surface, which is shown in the concept art of Shimidah trying to dig itself back underground.^[1]
