I was looking at the following image, trying to narrow down what is it to better get an idea on its abilities/behavior... [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005020614/godzilla/images/d/d2/Godzilla_Trailer_4.png[/img] At first, I thought only insects had more than 2-4 legs as seen with vertebrate animals here on Earth. As you can see in the image above, the creature has hands that resemble vertebrate animals, NOT insects. However I count 6 legs on it! I thought I had run into a dead end when I heard of Polymelia. It's a birth defect that can give an animal extra limbs! Don't believe me? Then check out this news article from 2007 ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/6371901.stm ) and the image of a duckling it shows with this condition [img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42584000/jpg/_42584065_duck300.jpg[/img] I can't see enough of the mystery monster to even be able to ID it, but this creature could have a similar condition as that duckling, maybe more magnified thanks to it being mutated through nuclear contamination/radiation.

I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.

John 3:16, Job 41:1-34, Leviticus 18:22

He might have been created at the same time as Godzilla was. Though Godzilla's immense size also has a bit to do with both deep-sea gigantism and island gigantism, the radiation just enhances that in his genetic code. Could very well be polymelia, then the radiation just enhanced it.

Well,since normal Kaiju are only plausibly created through death then reanimation by nuclear radiation,allowing them to surpass natural size limits and have special powers and be self-sufficient nuclear reactors and not needing air or food or whatnot,according to this: http://www.angelfire.com/ego/g_saga/kaijubiologyarticle.html A monster of that size would have to be pretty old,just like Godzilla,considering the fact that nuclear radiation has to reconstruct their bodies over a long period of time,as well as the monster seeking it out when not hibernating. Of course,that means that there is no limit to what a Kaiju can accomplish,as well as their nigh-invulnerability.

I cannot speak for all Kaiju mutation, but I feel that most mutation is usually caused by changes in environment or deliberate (possibly extraterrestrial) intelligent manipulation. Godzilla may be the exception to this since his nature may be spiritually supernatural disguised as physical. The traditional Dragon of myth and lore is considered an abberration because it is a winged Quadraped because none are known to exist in modern nature. Therefore, a hexipodal reptile/mammaloid is equally likely.

I heard from various sources that the creature in the image is an insect like creature but radiation has altered its physical appearance giving it a reptilian physique. I don't know exactly what Legendary Picture explanation for what radiation can do or has done to some of these creature or what we don't know about how this creature formed, but it should be interesting nonetheless.
