| ~ Monarch agent Mariko |
Summary
Behemoth was discovered by Monarch in Brazil, and an outpost was constructed around him. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization, a Monarch agent named Mariko states, "There are cave paintings of him that are twelve thousand years old." Until it is awakened by the call of King Ghidorah, the new alpha of the Titans. It broke out of containment and headed to Boston when the ORCA was activated, but arrives shortly after Godzilla defeats Ghidorah, and bows to him as the true alpha instead.
Behemoth is named after a beast mentioned in the Bible (בהמות Behemot), which is interpreted often as either referring to a mythical creature or a large animal such as an elephant or rhinoceros. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization also gives Behemoth the alternative name Mapinguary, derived from a Brazilian cryptid believed to resemble a giant sloth.
