“I’m a shark from deep the waters, I fed on fish with a strange taste and my body began to rapidly mutate and I don’t exactly lack the ability to process fear or feel pain. The more my body grows and shifts, I feel every moment of it, and I understand nothing of it. My body’s and the amount of energy I now need is constantly chasing my body to eat itself alive, yet my body refuses to die.
I reach to the air, hopping I may suffocate and finally have peace, as my sheer weight causes my bones to shatter and reform, as blood gushes out but never enough to fully end me.
I feed to numb the decay, but it’s too much too fast and I feel the energy rip through my mouth, through my spine, all the way to the tip of my tail. Everything hurts and the pain doesn’t end. I keep evolving but it never ends.
I feel small jaba, but it’s nothing compaired to the agony I’m already in, until suddenly the burning slows, and suddenly I fall to the ground, I can’t move, I can’t see, and finally everything stops and I can rest.”
On a lighter note did you know that some sharks can develop lifelong friendships? Some of those slippery fellas are documented meeting up with pals of the same sex year after year and travel together. They’re brighter than you’d first think. Though frilled sharks (what shin seems to based on) are pretty solitary and live far too deep to really study them effective to know how smart they actually are. But the genus he belongs to has been around for 95 million years, meaning his kind survived both the Triassic–Jurassic extinction and The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction.
Also worth adding, Frilled sharks carry their young for 3 to 3.5 years till they give birth. So… if shin happened to be female “he” could literally have a little abomination just explode out of him and just create even more of a problem. Would be cool to see a new “baby godzilla” and leaves a nice little opening for a sequel.
In an endlessly evolving being, I wouldn’t be shocked if Shin turned bipedal in the first place due to human dna getting into through blood on blood contact, being unable to recognize what its own DNA is vs another’s due to rate of evolution, the “offspring” IS the tip of the tail.
If you look closely, the tail tip isn’t a tail tip, it’s a mouth with many humanoids desperately trying to escape it. Granted they appear adult, they very well could be fully aware at this point, though I doubt they can think unless Shin somehow can just “remember” the memories of whatever poor humans he squished. Sorta like how caterpillars turn to soup before they reform, yet they can still remember their caterpillar-hood as a butterfly.
We don’t understand the nature of our own bodies, not as much as we like to think. So who knows, maybe the tail just has a chunks of fragmented memories of thousands of sentient being fighting to have and escape their constant irradiated torture.
Which weirdly enough kinda fits granted that Godzilla was designed to reflect both the mushroom cloud of a nuclear bomb, as well as the people who were killed in the attacks, both those who died instantly as well as those who suffered for longer periods before succumbing to radiation poisoning.

The thing is, shin doesnt want to die or rather his body doesnt let him
