Select Godzilla concept art: Destoroyah
Godzilla’s “final” opponent, Destoroyah is one of the few brand new kaiju of the Heisei series, and one of my all time favorite kaiju. The idea for a kaiju born of the very weapon that killed the first Godzilla is a great idea, an naturally the concept was played around a bit when design Destoroyah.
These two designs were most likely made very early in production with only a basic concept of a kaiju born of the Oxygen Destroyer to work with. These are very reminiscent of the Showa era with designs that are not to busy with spikes and shells. The first one looks as if the Oxygen Destroyer itself is melded to its back!
Much of the Destoroyah concept art on Rodan’s Roost is from the unmade Godzilla Vs. Barubaroi, so I don’t reknow if these pieces are related to that project or not. Either way, they are certainly unique.two bizarre kaiju that attach themselves together to become more powerful. One is a lizard/spider thing with wings and the other resemble a grotesque caterpillar.
These last two are my favorites, especially the second one. These are just super cool to look at. The first one seems to have features that would later be incorporated into Dagarah from Rebirth of Mothra 2, the shoulder cannons and wings in particular. The second one has a very cool look with giant limbs sticking out of its back. I imagine those limbs would have not been very mobile on screen except when needed

Titanosaurus anatomy Definitive edition Godzilla Monster Illustration Super Encyclopedia (TV Magazine Deluxe 28)
Biggest surprise here is the tornadoes having an “electromagnetic” nature.
This further entrenches my opinion that steam and heat should be Manda’s special powers rather than electricity like was done with Matt Franks old fan continuity (no offense intended, Mr.Frank). Titanosaurus is right here, and it would even better parallel Godzilla who used lightning-derived magnetism to defeat Mechagodzilla in the previous film.
Titanosaurus is a creature very much like Godzilla but victimized by war and cruel uses of technology more directly rather than an unintentional victim.
GODZILLA
AMPHIBIA
In one of the most awsome scenes of the series, Godzilla Amphibia creates a colossal explosion with his breath, destroying everything close to it and succing alot of poor Rodans into it too. Godzilla Amphibia enters into a hybernation state and creates a layer of cristalized red mist in his skin, so he will problably emerge from it in his third not yet final form (You can actually see this scene in the opening).
Look just how big that blast was, and Amphibia only had one gas tube in his moth, while Godzilla Ultima has three tubes, imagine how powerfull his atomic breath will be.
The Varan homaging makes a bit more sense with Varan in anatomy materials consistently has multiple gas sacs. Varan was one of the first kaiju in Toho to have biology partially explained in film such as his partially elastic bulletprorr-vest-like hide
