LARGE SHIMO

This is an adaptation of my Shimo pattern to enlarge him. This was a request from the same friend in Georgia. He requested for the larger version to be made in dusty grey instead of white. He also requested that instead of using purple for the body and head spikes that I would use glow in the dark (GITD) blue yarn.

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.
