Armadillidae Godzilla

A large, bold isopod with rugged armour and monster-scale presence.

Description

Godzilla is known for its impressive size, thick plating, and powerful, prehistoric look. Adults develop deep green-grey to slate tones with a textured, almost reptilian finish. Their bulk and posture give them a “mini kaiju” vibe — a true centrepiece species. Juveniles are lighter and smooth, gaining their iconic ruggedness as they mature.
