It ’s been understand sinceGodzilla : King of the Monstersthat the Earth is base to dozens of giant monsters , many of which are animal who have spent several millennia in hibernation . The engagement with Ghidorah allowed audience glimpses of a few of the Earth ’s hidden Titans , but since the movie , the Monsterverse has done very small with the mind , opting to focalise mostly on Godzilla and Kong inGodzilla vs. Kong .
Apple TV+ ’s show , on the other hand , has taken a dissimilar approach . Set after the event of the 2014 Godzilla reboot , the raw live - action series takes a flavor at unseen events in theMonsterverse timeline . In doing so , the show has already done much to enlarge on Monsterverse traditional knowledge . In two episodes , the serial publication confirmed the existence of two additional Titans , with one based in Kazakhstan and the other go out of a wrecked atomic torpedo in the Philippines . Monarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 3 followed up on these discoveries by unveiling yet another Titan , with this one being a first for the Monsterverse in term of what it get to the table .
Where The Frost Vark Fits Into The Monsterverse Timeline
The sequence has confirm that a Titan go in Alaska . Its placement indicates that the creature is an entirely unexampled addition to the Monsterverse , unconnected to any ofGodzilla : King of the Monsters'11 pretermit Titans . Dr. Serizawa revealed in the moving-picture show that Monarch was mindful of several other ogre after discovering Godzilla in 1954 , with monitoring gadget screens furnish localisation for each creature . Monarch had outposts set up to detect all of them . Curiously , there was n’t one in Alaska . What this signaling is that the new devil ’s position will change between its debut and the start ofGodzilla : King of the Monsters .

Monsterverse’s Alaska Titan Possesses Ice Powers
First encountered in instalment 3 by theMonarch : Legacy of Monsterscharacters , the new creature was shown to be a giant , four - legged monster who made a place for itself underground in Alaska ’s snowy wild .

The Frost Vark looks to be a force to be reckoned with . As testify by the marks on the destroyed aircraft spotted in the episode , the beast comes equipped with some mortal claws capable of dealing out some massive damage . It appears that the master weapon in its arsenal , though , is the creature ’s unique ice power . In an instant , it was able to all suspend a homo , killing him . As for how it works , it seems that when it opened its mouth , gentle wind was nurse in rather than free , which suggests that it can debilitate high temperature . Regardless of the science behind the ability , it makes this new ice Titan a serious new predator for the humans in the Monsterverse .
Can Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters' New Ice Titan Fight Godzilla?
There ’s no questioning the threat the Frost Vark poses to the humans , but whether it ’s a danger to Godzilla is a whole other matter . Its water ice powers could make the monster an interesting new challenge for Godzilla - but only if it was bigger . The last scene ofMonarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 3 allows for a size comparison between the humanity and the monster , and thus makes it exculpated that the colossus would be at a huge disadvantage were it to ever come to blows with Godzilla . prominent as it may be , it ’s simply not in the same weight class as Titans like Godzilla and Ghidorah . It does go to show , though , that theTitans of the Monsterversecome in all shapes and sizes .
Not all can be expected to be on the same level as Godzilla and Kong . However , it ’s not unimaginable that a much large appendage of its species exists somewhere in the Monsterverse . That could very well be the case if the Frost Vark turns out to be a juvenile phallus of its species , similar toKong : Skull Island’sKong , who was n’t in full grown yet . If so , a future episode ofMonarch : Legacy of Monsters , or perhaps a different Monsterverse installing , could unveil an grownup version big enough to take on Godzilla .
