Godzilla's Diet: What does he eat, how often, an why?
We all know Godzilla feeds on nuclear energy, but that alone can't be all that he consumes in order to keep up his body's metabolism. I theorize that Godzilla also consumes large marine creature such as sperm whale, giant squid, and other marine kaiju. The purpose for his eating would have to be so that the biological components of his body are maintained, such as his Regenerator G1 (Regen.G1) cell since it would require some kind of protein to be maintained. Godzilla wouldn't, however, have to consume other creature very often since he mostly sleeps (when his isn't destroying cities or fighting monsters). He could also have a similar metabolism to modern crocodilians, who can go over 2 months without food after their last meal, and his sleeping habit can serve as a means to conserve more energy. Considering that Godzilla uses his nuclear energy to keep his body in motion, and saves his energy from eating for his Regen.G1 cells and his sleeping patterns, I theorize that Godzilla can go at least a decade without having to eat.
Godzilla's Hide: How does it work, what is it made of, and how tough is it?
Godzilla's hide is considered a nearly impenetrable defensive apparatus for the kaiju. It serves as his primary means of defense against all attacks and is known to be immune to all know conventional weapons and resistant to most nonconventional weapons. The most similar example of such a resistant hide is seen in elephants, as it takes a special type of gun and ammunition to penetrate it. Godzilla's hide seems to be different in certain aspects. 1) His hide doesn't seem to be extremely thick but instead sturdier. Godzilla's muscular and bone structure may also support the hide as it protects them, since Godzilla doesn't seem to sustain bone injury or internal muscle damage from the pressure released from bomb and missile attacks. His hide seems to have been developed through millions of years of adaptation, which could explain how Godzilla survived battleship artillery fire when he was still a dinosaur, and radiation from the nuclear bomb testing mutated it to become tougher.
Godzilla's Regen.G1 Cells: How does it work, and its function?
Godzilla's Regen.G1 cells act as a secondary defensive measure for his body in case anything gets through his hide. His G1 cells are capable of repairing and healing any injury or disease that afflicts him. I theorize that his G1 cells make him immune to every natural disease or illness and highly resistant to man-made diseases. This is shown when the ANEB virus was introduced to Godzilla bloodstream. Though the virus downed the Kaiju when his temperature got too high, the virus never affected Godzilla after the events of Godzilla vs. Biollante nor was the use of ANEB attempted again, which indicates that Godzilla's G1 cells removed the virus and built an immunity to it. His Regen.G1 cells seem to function like stem cells only faster and more advance. Such an healing factor is seen in some lizards species who can regrow entire limbs. Godzilla's Regen.G1 cells , however, seem to be capable of restoring his whole body so long as a single organ survives. This is shown and implied during the GMK events as Godzilla's heart, which was the only surviving organ from his bodies destruction continues to beat, implying that his body would eventually regrow back. These cells also seem to give him the ability to survive in extremely hostile environments and conditions, such as being frozen or exposed to carious chemicals and toxins.
Well that’s all for this discussion but there will be more coming soon. Tell me what you guys think and do feel free to comment!!!!!

MemberTitanosaurusJan-26-2014 3:56 PMThe way I see it, as pointed out in this article, the nuclear radiation has actually caused a drastic nuclear-improvised evolution of Godzilla's body into a larger and biologically impossible form created over several million years and under very specific circumstances.
Take his overall body structure. Theoretically, it shouldn't even be able to stay intact without becoming a mush pile, but yet it does. The explanation for this lies in a process from the article that I like to call "nuclear fossilization". Basically, this process kills the original animal from radiaiton poisoning, but the body is then preserved by the same radiation (most likely in liquid form). The cells retain their normal structure, but basically go through a sort of fossilization where stronger and more dense elements replace the original ones that compose the base of the underlying genetic structure.
It is this process, as well as the energy from the nuclear radiation pool, that rejuvenates the cells in the once lifeless body, causing the creature to suddenly come back to life, with new cell structures and functions from the nuclear fossilization. They still act like normal, but on the inside, they've become biological anomalies. Over millions of years, they can grow incredible sizes and shapes. Due to their cells being composed of much stronger molecules than before, which creates denser and more supportive structures than previously possible, the creature can attain almost limitless sizes, as well as grow hides and interior structures resistant to both conventional and exotic weaponry.
The organs are also nuclear-evolved, such as the popular nuclear heart, which pumps nuclear energy gathered from simple elements commonly found in the body in abundance throughout the new cell systems, which accept it due to their upgrading, thus meaning Godzilla can go without conventional food, water, or even air. This does come with needing to stay cool through hibernation. As well, since these cells are tougher and formed from a process that literally brought back the creature from the dead, the same process could be going on at a smaller scale, explaining the regenerative properties.
All of these combined can also produce powerful exotic abilities with physical indications of such, like the atomic breath, and the interior structures are built to accomodate it.
That's my two cents anyways for this discussion.
