Gojira
also: Goji
Gojira was someone's pet but was released after they grew too large. They were picked up by an animal shelter and stayed there before being transferred to the South Korean National Institute of Ecology in 2024 prior to being rehomed to Alveus.
They are an ambassador to teach people about responsible pet ownership, proper care for reptiles, and the illegal wildlife trade.
