I was looking through a website and it got me thinking. Here's the website: http://kaijucombat.com/wiki/doku.php?id ... nster_list.
Now, what I was thinking is thus: What kind of Kaiju would you have in your game? And how would you go about doing the combat for them, let alone represent them (I.E. all energy based attachs as one, all claw attacks as another, etc.)??

Kaiju are Godzilla type monsters. 40 story high leviathans putting one into the game would be a little awkward. Really it would be more of a plot piece to try and find something to lure the monster away are cause it to be restored to humanoid size before it leveled a city.

It'd at least make a little bit more interesting as the characters try to deal with it. Mind you, said characters would be higher in level.

If I had one in mine it would probably be a genetically engineered whale (or a whale/squid chimera) and I'd call it Leviathan. It would be the product of an offshore artificial-island nation that would be using it to clear the way for an invasion.

Combat would be futile, and just annoy Leviathan. No real damage would be inflicted and it would be able to regenerate what little anyone could do. I wouldn't even bother trying to calculate the damage it did, just noting that anything that gets in its way (buildings, forests, vehicles) are quickly destroyed.

To give the characters time to address and deal with this menace, I'd only allow Leviathan to remain out of the ocean for an hour or two at a time. This would allow them time to track deal with the story elements that will lead them to discover who is controlling the beast, why they are attacking, and how to defeat or destroy it.

The end fallout from this would be that the nation is invaded by the Empire and Cardania and the scientists eventually end up spread all over the place creating new Kaiju for ever nation and despot that can get their hands on one of the fleeing scientists and offer them sanctuary and a working lab.
