Godzilla (2014)
In 1999, Monarch scientists Ishiro Serizawa and Vivienne Graham were summoned to the Philippines to investigate the discovery of a colossal skeleton under a strip mine. There, Serizawa identified the skeleton as belonging to a member of the same species as the creature known as Godzilla, the monster Monarch had been formed to study. Serizawa and Graham also discovered two parasitic spores attached to the skeleton, both of which appeared to be perfectly preserved rather than fossilized. However, one of the spores had burst open, and a large trail was left behind by whatever hatched from it, leading out to the ocean.
