What is MonsterVerse, Origin and Types of Monster that Appeared in Movies
5 min readThe timeline of MonsterVerse starts billions of years ago, back then human civilization did not exist. Due to exposure to radiation, all kinds of monsters existed back then. These monsters feed on the energy of the radiation. One day, an asteroid struck the surface of the earth that killed most of the monsters. Radiation was reduced in the atmosphere due to that asteroid. Monsters could not survive because there was less radiation to feed off of. The remaining monsters went into hibernation. Monsters like Godzilla hibernating close to the Earth core got their energy from the radiation of the Earth’s core. Humans started to evolve due to less radiation, slowly started to populate the Earth. But titans like Godzilla were still alive and humans needed to protect themself so they started worshiping them. Some humans could communicate to those titans like monsters through sign language. soon that communication method changed to telepathy. With the help of telepathic power, humans made those monsters their slaves. After being slaves of some humans these monsters started to fight back, which eventually started the “titan war”. During the titan war, the temple of Godzilla under the ocean was destroyed.
An unknown event occurred which stopped the war. This unknown event killed many humans and monsters from the surface of the earth. This event was later called CATACLYSM. After the cataclysm, humans started living on the surface of the Earth and monsters started living in the hollow Earth. It is known that monsters used tunneling cave systems connecting the Earth from the hollow Earth to go anywhere on the Earth. Due to staying in the hollow Earth for too long, their body morphology changed and evolved like skull crawlers’ sense of hearing and smell evolved in a drastic way and more changes like less body hair, thickening of the outer skin. But there is no change in the body morphology of the Kong because Kong never went to the hollow Earth and he is human-made.
