Nick Tatopoulos: “The creature's not leaving here.”

Elsie Chapman: “What makes you so sure?”

Nick Tatopoulos: “When it hatched, I was the only one there. I had this gunk from the eggs all over me. The creature must have picked up on that scent and imprinted on me, like a baby with a parent.”

Elsie Chapman: “You think, it thinks you're its mother?”

Nick Tatopoulos: “How else do you explain why it didn't hurt me? This Godzilla is different from the first one.”

― Nick and Elsie discuss Godzilla in "New Family: Part 1"

The only one of the original Godzilla's offspring to survive the destruction of Madison Square Garden, this Godzilla imprinted upon scientist Niko "Nick" Tatopoulos moments after hatching. He quickly matured into an adult, becoming an ally to mankind and assisting Nick and his research team H.E.A.T. in dealing with more dangerous mutations around the world. Unlike his father, this Godzilla is portrayed more akin to the traditional interpretation of the character from Toho's film series, possessing an impressive resistance to conventional weaponry and preferring to fight attackers head-on, as well as utilizing the character's trademark atomic breath.
