Baphomet, also dubbed Titanus Baphomet, is a giant Titan in the MonsterVerse created by Legendary Pictures who was introduced in the 2019 film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, as a name briefly seen on a monitor.
Name
"Baphomet" was a winged, goat-headed, and demonic entity worshiped by the Knights Templar, but in truth, it was a fabrication created by the troubadours and King Phillip IV of France to incriminate the Templar as worshippers of a false god. The name Baphomet is a perversion of Old French for "The Prophet Mohammed".
History
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
At some point, Baphomet had Monarch Outpost 68 built around it in Volubilis, Morocco. When Ghidorah calls all the Titans, Baphomet breaks free and begins to hunt with its new pack. When the ORCA calls all Titans to Boston, Baphomet does not arrive in time for the battle and does not see Godzilla become the alpha of all Titans again.
Trivia
- The outpost Baphomet was contained in, Monarch Outpost 68, is a possible reference to the 1968 Toho film Destroy All Monsters.
