Most fans will agree, the new Godzilla looks great. But before the design team settled on what we see in the new film, Godzilla went through a few concept phases, including a lizard version, a dragon version and even a... fish version! Thanks to the folks at io9, we have a look at some of the early concept designs for the King of the Monster's epic rebirth. The scans are from Insight Editions' art book, Godzilla: The Art of Destruction which is currently on sale now! Check them out:

This Could Have Been The Face Of The New Godzilla

One of the things we ended up saying was, 'Okay, we've got Godzilla.' So what would the fish Godzilla look like? Okay, now we're going to have the reptile Godzilla. Now we're going to have the dragon Godzilla. Just to push Godzilla into places that you wouldn't naturally go. You might get nothing from it, but [from this process] the gills might come. You might say, oh, he's got gills. He's underwater and he's got no lungs — how else does he breathe? It might make fans turn in their graves to know that we did this, but if just one thing comes from it, it's well worth it.

Concept artist Eddie Del Rio also shared some his own Godzilla art exclusively with io9:

The following images are interesting as they suggest at some point in the drafting phase, Godzilla was discovered frozen in ice:

Just one thing - the quote you have reproduced clearly states that none of these ideas were meant to be "what Godzilla almost looked like in the new movie", but wre just wild ideas tried out to see where they went. They were not, nor ever meant, to represent the final design.
