Bunyip, also dubbed Titanus Bunyip, 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
In aboriginal Australian folklore, the "Bunyip" is a legendary amphibious monster that lurks in rivers, lakes, and swamps.
History
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
At some point, Bunyip had Monarch Outpost 99 in Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) built around it. When Ghidorah calls all the Titans, Bunyip breaks free and begins to hunt with its new pack. While on the monitor, Bunyip is shown to be moving northeast, possibly to Alice Springs, 290 miles from Uluru. When the ORCA calls all Titans to Boston, Bunyip does not arrive in time for the battle and does not see Godzilla become the alpha of all Titans again.
Trivia
- The outpost Bunyip was contained in, Monarch Outpost 99, is a possible reference to the 1999 Toho film Godzilla 2000: Millennium.
