Back in my high school days, when I'd repeatedly check out the Official Godzilla Compendium from the public library even though I knew most of the facts within by heart and even the factual errors, one of the quirkier choices of the book was one of the facts it included for every contributor. As part of the very short bios included for each person was "Second-Favorite Monster". It was a cute little reference to the assumption that Godzilla was every person's favorite monster, which made sense in its own way. Daikaiju eiga would never be where it was without Godzilla; no number of (now lost) King Kong clone movies would change that.
I wouldn't make that assumption myself, especially these days and in a community like this where opinions of monsters of any kind can vary wildly, but it does sound like a fantastic basis for a thread! So, given the Toho pantheon of giant monsters, what ally or enemy of Godzilla do you like most, and why?

Moguera. The new one that was in SpaceGodzilla. I love that giant Mechanical menace.

Gigan is my absolute favourite, because what's not to love about a cybernetic chicken with blades for hands? Megalon is another one I really like for similar reasons...a bug with drills. Also his hopping is hilarious
Its just a shame those are two of the weaker Showa films. Gigan got redeemed somewhat in Final Wars, but I'd love to see Megalon get updated. Honourable mentions to Mothra and Battra, as Godzilla vs. Mothra is my favourite Goji film.

King Ghidora, because he's a three-headed dragon. From a design standpoint I like Destroyah a lot. I like a lot of the Godzilla designs a lot. Biolante is cool too, he (or she, I guess) reminds me of Perfect Chaos from Sonic Adventure (Yes, I know Biolante came first)

THis is tough. My favorite friend is probably Rodan.
My favorite villain is hard to say, but Biollante, Ghidorah, and Gigan are in there. It's just a shame Gigan has yet to be in a good Godzilla movie. |

Mothra!
I have no idea what it was, but the moment I first saw Mothra, I was enthralled. She was easily my favorite monster, friend or foe of the big G. I know she doesn't have the most impressive track record, but I love her all the same!
