SHIMO

Shimo is a request from a very close friend in Georgia that has had me make several items for him and his family.

Shimo is a reptilian Titan who appeared in the 2024 Legendary Pictures film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, serving as the film's secondary antagonist after the Skar King. Her existence was first alluded to in the 2022 Call of Duty collaboration with Godzilla vs. Kong, depicted in a cave painting engaged in battle with Godzilla.

An ancient and legendary Titan whose ability to control ice caused the Last Ice Age, Shimo was captured and enslaved by the Skar King to assist him in conquering the surface world. There, they fought Godzilla and Kong, whose combined efforts helped free Shimo from the Skar King's control. Now devoid of any authority over her, Shinzo turned against her former master and peacefully returned to the Hollow Earth, where she resides with the Great Apes.
