A fight involving the sentimonster Gigan would cause Riley to leave blood samples on its blades.

After a much-needed eruption, Gabriel Agreste would notice these blood samples and came up with an idea: If he couldn't have Goji, he would build one. Thus began an endeavor of creating the perfect copies of the Godzilla Miraculous wielder.

Unfortunately, problems soon rose: The removal of certain genes prevented a perfect clone from being created, and removal just made the genome unstable, which resulted in DNA splicing from different sources. Each clone later turned out to represent physical aspects of Riley's personality.

Erika (Codename: Biollante) was given rose DNA to make her a little more sturdy in nature, but also because she was planned to be a healer. This also gave her the ability to communicate with plants. She represents Riley's empathy and simplicity.

Xavier (Codename: Space Goji) was given a sample of sentient alien quartz DNA, which made him more aggressive in nature and capable of creating crystals out of thin air. He is Riley's strength and anger.

Benjamin (Codename: Barugaron) was created when Nathalie accidentally cut herself, and some of her blood mixed in with Riley's DNA, which stabilized him, but also enhanced his unpredictability. He represents Riley's naivety and innocence.

Oscar (Codename: Orga) was given Gabriel's DNA, which made him extremely intelligent and cunning, and he is the only clone kept under constant watch, lest he decide to murder Gabriel and Nathalie before pinning it on Adrien so he can control the company. He is Riley's intelligence and cunning incarnate.

To discourage the possibility of the clones rebelling, Gabriel has a device that emits a frequency only the clones can hear, and when turned up high enough, can kill them.

All the clones were given cover stories to help them blend in better:

Erika Alvarez: A recently discovered model from Mexico who was given an opportunity to help support her starving family. She is the quiet, mysterious, but extremely beautiful girl who makes everyone fall for her.

Xavier Martinez: A cholo from Sanger, California, who is part of a second-chance program that is funded by Agreste Fashion. Has anger issues and also likes to take life head-on.

Benjamin Sancoeur: Natalie's secret "son" (Benjamin is the only clone who genuinely believes his cover story), who is on the Autism spectrum. Recently came to Paris in the hopes of following his "mother's" footsteps.

Oscar Valentine: An intern working under Gabriel. Recently adopted by Gabriel as a favor to a recently deceased employee. He is extremely cunning.

Powers:

They all have their canon counterparts' powers

Barugaron - Vampiric Monster

So I recently had the bright idea to make a model based on an obscure Kaiju from the Godzilla Series.

Introducing Barugaron!

NGL, I had difficulty with this model since day one. For starters, I couldn't really find a good reference for this particular kaiju since he only appeared in a video game. But I fixed that problem when it hit me: Barugaron is a Godzilla clone. Therefore, wouldn't it make sense to make the base model off of Godzilla? So I went to Google Images and grabbed a few pictures of SH Monsterarts Godzilla and began to work on him using those references for the base! And then I did all of the little extra tidbits that made him Barugaron.

At first I used the cube, but I soon began experiencing problems. So then I ended up resorting to a hexagonal cylinder, which actually turned out great for me!

And finally, the textures. I wanted it to be of similar quality to the custom models by JJJ you see uploaded on @MMDCharizard's page. At first I tried baking before remembering stenciling, which resulted in me using a leather image for the skin, muscle tissue for the pink part and enamel for the claws, teeth, and horns.

Also, there's a morph for removing the little stalks on his head if you don't like them.

Please credit me when you use this.
