Powers and Techniques
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Natural Weaponry (Can utilize both her tails and claws in combat), Large Size (Skyscraper Sized; Her height is listed as 162.45 meters[22]), Cold Manipulation & Air Manipulation (Passive; Naturally exudes air cold enough to freeze the ground around it[23]), Breath Attack & Ice Manipulation (With its Frost Bite Breath, it shoots out a breath of ice that can even overpower Kong's ancient axe[24], that can absorb Godzilla's atomic breath, and can use the energy to attack one in a massive energy explosion[25]. Along with this, the ice was cold enough to where it gave Kong frostbite, making his arm unusable[26] as it had nerve damage and significant tissue loss, using the B.E.A.S.T. glove as a replacement[27]. Noted to be directly responsible for the ice age[28], a period of colder global temperatures and recurring glacial expansion capable of lasting millions of years), Weather Manipulation (Shooting her ice breath into the air caused a massive storm cloud[29]), Consumption (Physical Consumption; The titans consumed radiation from the Earth during the time its radioactivity was ten times it was now as a food source[30]).
Resistance to Extreme Colds (Noted to be directly responsible for the ice age[31], and felt no effects from being in said ice age), Extreme Heat (Could stand near lava just fine, most likely due to its natural cold air it releases around it[32]), Radiation Manipulation (The titans consumed radiation from the Earth during the time its radioactivity was ten times it was now as a food source[33])
Equipment
Nothing notable.
Notable Techniques
Frost Bite Blast/Breath
![](/images/5/5e/Shimo_firing_an_ice_beam.gif)
Shimo is capable of releasing an ice beam from her mouth. This ability is referred to as a Frost Bite Blast or Frost Bite Breath on the packaging of her individual Playmates figure, as well as the Godzilla vs. Shimo figure set[34][35][36]. Shimo is shown using the beam to freeze over Kong's axe and arm, and to cause a massive ice storm by firing it into the sky. During the former, the beam creates large ice chunks upon contact. The beam was powerful enough to give Kong frostbite and completely freeze the Skar King's body once free of his control. When using the attack, Shimo's eyes, back spikes, and thagomizers glow a bright blue. It was stated in the Iwi's ancient template tablets that Shimo’s ice breath was responsible for triggering the last Ice Age millions of years ago.
Freezing Temperatures
Along with her Frost Bite Blast’s capabilities, Shimo’s mere presence is capable of freezing her surroundings, first shown when the ground in Skar King’s prison iced over. The forests in the Hollow Earth froze as she walked through them alongside the Skar King and his army as they approached the Iwi civilization, and the waters off the coast of Rio de Janeiro even froze when she emerged on the surface.
Other
Standard Tactics: Shimo while mind controlled is shown to shoot out its ice breath at the opponent, it also will attempt to charge and ram into opponents. While not mind controlled, Shimo is still willing to fight but is far more peaceful and passive.
Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
Note: The opening to Godzilla vs. Kong is admitted by Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong to have some overlooked things in the statistics, though he mainly notes that heights and weight statistics were overlooked, thus using the opening for the atomic breaths energy value is perfectly fine[37].
Trivia
- The cave painting of Shimo seen in Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted first appeared in the Godzilla vs. Kong/Call of Duty crossover event close to two years prior.
- At 162.45 meters, Shimo is currently the tallest of any known Titans in the Monsterverse, surpassing the previous record holder King Ghidorah in height by 3.65 meters. However, she is not the largest overall, as she is surpassed by the ~258-meter-long Tiamat and ~274-meter-long Na Kika.
- Shimo bears some similarities to Ghidorah, as both are Titans capable of manipulating the weather to such degrees that it can threaten the globe. Unlike him, however, Shimo is docile and friendly, while Ghidorah is ruthless and violent.
- Shimo is the second confirmed-female monster to be a primary antagonist in a Monsterverse film, after the Female MUTO in Godzilla.
- Shimo is the first primary Monsterverse film antagonist to not be killed by Godzilla or Kong.
- Shimo also the first Monsterverse film antagonist that became a protagonist, after she was freed from Skar King’s influence.
- Shimo is also the first primary Monsterverse film antagonist not to be inherently evil or intentionally destructive in nature as her destructive actions was due to her being controlled and commanded by Skar King.
