MUTO Prime

MUTO Prime's powers and abilities

Bio-terrestrial nature The MUTO Prime possessed tremor-inducing legs, which made her capable of producing massive earthquakes. By slamming the ground with her forelimbs, MUTO Prime could trigger shockwaves that would destabilize nearby fault lines in the Earth. As explained by Dr. Emma Russell in the graphic novel, MUTO Prime triggered these massive earthquakes to lure out members of Godzilla's species into a fight they cannot win. Prime was able to claw and tunnel through the Earth's crust with ease, with her underground travels often being mistaken as natural seismic activity. Prime's jaws are evolved for grinding and breaking rocks while digging tunnels.

Claws MUTO Prime's titanic forelimbs were covered in super-heated spikes and both ended in three hook-like claws. Additionally, she had several pairs of forelimbs underneath her abdomen which all ended in sharp claws used for hacking and stabbing prey. As with the standard MUTO adults, these claws were capable of easily slicing through Godzilla's tough hide and drawing blood.

Lava-like blood The blood of MUTO Prime is entirely composed of lava. This leads to the superheating of her forelimbs, causing them to reach such high temperatures that they become nearly transparent.

Durability Unlike the MUTOs, the MUTO Prime had a hardened tank-like outer shell with sharp spires on her back. This spiked armored shell served mostly as protection, as Prime was not seen utilizing it offensively. Throughout her battles with Godzilla, she only suffered negligible damage, and had to be defeated through a powerful nuclear pulse via Godzilla's shattered dorsal plates. Like all Titans, she can survive Gravitational Inversion, a planet's worth of gravity reversed within a split second.

Reproduction Being a parasite, the MUTO Prime reproduced by inserting her eggs into the stomach lining of a suitable Titan host through ovipositors guided by traces of uranium in the host's blood. Then, the eggs settle within the muscle tissue and incubate, slowly feeding on the nuclear-rich hemoglobin in the host's blood and eventually killing it by draining its atomic energy. After growing for sometimes up to centuries, two larval MUTOs, a male and female, will hatch and mature before beginning to breed rapidly with other MUTOs, creating a "breeding force" capable of quickly overwhelming life on Earth. It is stated by Dr. Emma Russell that any female MUTO can eventually metamorphose into a MUTO Prime if one does not exist or if circumstances demand it.

Sonic roar The MUTO Prime was able to release a powerful sonic roar, which was so powerful that the sound waves easily shattered Godzilla's dorsal plates. MUTO Prime's eyes would glow red when she used the sonic roar, similar to how Godzilla's eyes glow blue when he uses atomic breath. The sonic roar causes seismic instability, for it evolved to specifically resonate and shatter Godzilla's dorsal plates through "harmonic resonance".

Strength and combat The MUTO Prime's legs are notably powerful enough to cause tremors strong enough to be heard for miles with each step and destabilize fault lines with a mere punch. Throughout her life, MUTO Prime had killed several members of Titanus Gojira, no easy feat for any Titan, and successfully planted her eggs inside their bodies. Her forelimbs were able to knock Godzilla himself back in one hit, temporarily staggering him. Due to her lava-like blood, her forelimbs were covered in superheated spikes and scales from her shoulders to her wrists, adding extra power and damage to her punches. At first, weakened by several millennia of hibernation, she avoided prolonged combat with Godzilla. However, after steadily consuming more radiation, she grew more powerful with each encounter. But even at her peak, she preferred to utilize her seismic abilities as an easier and quicker way of subduing Godzilla. In her last fight with Godzilla, she used her sonic roar to bring him down and she would have infected Godzilla had she not been distracted by the ORCA device.

Swimming MUTO Prime could swim underwater quite efficiently, using her massive forelimbs to propel herself through the water. It is assumed that she was a fast swimmer, as even the amphibious Godzilla himself could not catch her as she swam away from him.
