@raffleupagus commissioned me to draw his kaiju Jhalaragon, one of the five Pantheon Colossi that star in his marvelous novel Daikaiju Yuki, which you can purchase in kindle or paperback format from Amazon.com!Ā Drawing this guy was an absolute pleasure, as heās an incredibly endearing kaiju in the novel itself.
If you would also like to pay me to draw you a monster, my info is here.Ā My rates are low and my free time is currently plentiful, so donāt delay!
How did you come up with the Pantheon Colossi's names?
Narajin is an amalgamation of Narasimha, the Hindu lion god, and jin/shin which isĀ āgodā in Japanese, an alternate reading ofĀ ākami,ā familiar to kaiju fans as it was used famously in Daimajinās name. Given that translation, one could read his name asĀ āNara god,ā with Nara being the ancient capital of Japan, but thatās optional. It could also beĀ āNarai god,ā with Narai being the fictional country in which he resides, a word that basically doesnāt mean anything.
Ganejin has the sameĀ ājinā suffix, since heās meant to be NarajināsĀ ābrother,ā but mashed up with Ganesh or Ganesha. This connection was much more overt, since Ganesha is the āremover of obstaclesā in Hinduism, so a big smash-happy heroic kaiju with a direct connection to his etymology seems like a perfect fit.
Alkonoth is a cross between Alkonost, a female bird spirit in Slavic folklore, and Thoth, the ancient Egyptian ibis god.
Jhalaragon is a mix of āJhalaraā which meansĀ āfrilledā and the traditional kaiju suffixĀ āgonā as inĀ ādragon,ā orĀ āBaragon.ā
Mokwa is literallyĀ ābearā in Algonquin. As stated in one of the disclaimers at the front of the book, elements of Mokwaās backstory were inspired by the Ojibwe folktale of Sleeping Bear Dunes, which I encourage everyone to look into. I wanted a creature that was distinctly of this area of the world, so there you have it. I hope it encourages people to check out the history behind that story, both as a piece of First Nations folklore and part of our National Park system, and you can even visit Mokwaās resting place in real life.
Daikaiju Yuki is a global story, about people and non-human lifeforms from all over the Earth breaking down boundaries and coming together. Thatās why different cultures and kinds of people are represented, because the narrative deals with everyone and our place as a part of the Pantheon that is life on this planet.
I might at some point put together a kind ofĀ āguideā to some of the real-world locations that either inspired or are depicted in DKY, in case anyone wants to make some kind of pilgrimage or something.

Part of the idea behind these guys was the notion that they could conceivably have had their own series of more ātraditionalā kaiju stories at some point in the distant past, but that time has long since ended. Their legends now permeate five distinct nations of which theyāve become gods. Thousands of years later, itās finally time to round up the old gods for another rumble.
