What is Zilla?
Zilla started as a normal iguana. However, it was exposed to radiation, which caused it to grow to an incredible size. This made it a powerful and dangerous monster. In the 1998 movie, Zilla came ashore in New York City and began to build a nest. It was also able to lay many eggs, which hatched into smaller, but still dangerous, versions of itself.
Zilla's Abilities
Zilla is very fast and agile for its size. It can run quickly and jump high. It also has sharp claws and teeth, which it uses to fight and cause destruction. Unlike some other giant monsters, Zilla does not breathe fire or atomic breath. Instead, it relies on its physical strength and speed.
Zilla's Design
The creators of Zilla wanted it to look like a real animal, but much bigger. They designed it to resemble a large, powerful iguana. Zilla has green and brown scales, a long tail, and sharp spikes along its back. Its design helps it blend in with city environments, making it a stealthy giant creature.
