Godzilla, often referred to as Crystal Godzilla or sometimes simply "Crystal," is a unique variant of the iconic Godzilla character appearing in various media, most notably in the Toho Godzilla universe. While not a singular, consistently recurring entity, the "crystal" aspect generally signifies a mutation or transformation resulting in Godzilla's body exhibiting crystalline structures.

This crystalline mutation is typically portrayed as a consequence of exposure to specific energy sources or environments. The origin stories vary, but often involve radioactive substances or unique geological formations. Consequently, Crystal Godzilla often possesses enhanced powers or abilities compared to the standard Godzilla, sometimes wielding energy blasts or possessing heightened resilience due to the crystalline armor.

The visual design varies, but generally includes crystal-like protrusions or a crystalline exoskeleton. One of the more recognizable depictions appears in Godzilla media where the monster gains crystals through combat or consumption of other crystalline based lifeforms. The crystal variant symbolizes Godzilla adapting to extraordinary circumstances and demonstrates the potential for further mutation within the Godzilla mythos.
