I was reading a Gareth Edwards interview , when he was asked of any other familiar monsters in the movie he said:

"The other monsters in the movie are original, but we basically ripped off another Toho monster, (laughs)"

 

I can't think of a Toho monster that could have been ripped off resembling the MUTOs anyone have any ideas?

I see a lot of Gigan in the Flying Muto. They moth have wings, hooked arms, and a beak. The Mutos even seem to have visor-like eyes, much like Gigan.

That's a good one, never looked at Gigan that way, but makes some sense. I wouldn't call it a rip off though, maybe he was just being humble.

If I were to guess, I would say Monster X. The overall shape of his head and red eyes loosely reminds me of the Muto.

In a different interview he used the words 'inspired by' instead of 'ripped off'. I think the mutos being inspired by a Toho monster is more accurate.

I read the "inspired by" interviews too, but he goes on and says something like 

one of them is kind of a rip off of a Toho monster, 

idk why he'd single out one if it's just basic inspiration.

Toho has been helping on this film, so they didn't technically rip anything off, The M.U.T.O are insect like creatures. If Toho didn't want something in the film it wouldn't be in it. They studios have a close relationship!

its obviously not a technical rip off, I think we are all aware toho has been working close on the film, but it would seem by Gareths comments that one specific monster directly resembles a Toho one, it could be a monster we haven't seen yet, or a lesser known one.

I highly doubt he would use the phrase "Ripped Off".. Source link if you can because it would be extremely poor PR to say something like that.
