Name
"Tiamat" was a primordial water goddess with a dragon-like appearance in Mesopotamian mythologies, the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. The name "Tiamat" is also applied to many modern monsters; for example, an evil, five-headed dragon goddess in Dungeons & Dragons.

In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, a Monarch map tracking Titan locations simply calls her "Titan 019."

Tiamat, also dubbed Titanus Tiamat, was a giant serpentine Titan created by Legendary Pictures

Design
Appearance
In Godzilla Dominion, Tiamat is portrayed as a titanic serpentine creature, and is light blue in coloration while also having vibrant purple scales. These scales are serrated and knife-like. Her skull is draconic with yellow eyes and four barbels extending from it. Extending from near her head are two wing-like fins.

In Kong: Survivor Instinct and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Tiamat possesses a drastically different appearance in comparison to her design throughout the graphic novels. In the film, Tiamat is dark green in coloration with numerous purple serrated fins that run through the length of her entire body. Additionally, she possesses four clawed, crocodilian limbs. She retains her draconic skull, which is surrounded by yellow frills that open and fold depending on her mood. A bright bioluminescent magenta color now lights the tips of her fins.

Roar
The roars of Tiamat are written as "xhhhhhsssss". In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Tiamat issues a warbling cry.

Personality
Tiamat is very territorial and will fight other Titans for dominance. However, she recognizes when the odds are against her, and when beaten by Godzilla after an intense battle, Tiamat is visibly frightened and submits to the Alpha Titan to save herself from being killed. Her aggressive and destructive nature has led to Monarch classifying Tiamat as a "Destroyer".

Several years later, Tiamat is still shown to be very aggressive and unyielding to authority even after being beaten by Godzilla, with their second battle resulting in him killing her after she refused to back down.

Origins
A bioluminescent serpent of the ocean that emerges on land to feed on electricity, Titanus Tiamat is the embodiment of primordial chaos. A dangerous threat in water, chemoreceptors embedded in its venom hood release a phosphorous ink that can blind and disorient opposing Titans in combat. The electrogenic cells in its body store and discharge electrical currents capable of boiling the ocean at extreme temperatures, creating a powerful electrical superstorm so massive that it can be seen from space. Monarch behavioral analysis suggests Tiamat uses the vocal folds in its tendrils to mimic the sounds of other species. Having spent many years in containment at Monarch Outpost 53, it also seems to have learned to mimic the sound of human voices. While not possessing the vocal capabilities of speech, it is not unusual to hear the haunting echoes of Tiamat's Titansong followed by the slow and hungry clicking of its monolithic mandibles.

History
Ancient Times
Eons ago, Tiamat fought and killed a Titanus Kong member when she ventured into his lair, claiming it to herself.[3]

Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Tiamat was found in Stone Mountain, Georgia, USA, by Monarch, who built Outpost 53 around her. When Ghidorah calls all the Titans, Tiamat breaks free and begins to hunt with her new pack. When the ORCA calls all Titans to Boston, Tiamat does not arrive in time for the battle and does not see Godzilla become the alpha of all Titans again (except Kong).

Abilities
Amphibious lifestyle
Tiamat can survive on land and in water indefinitely, though she gains a more significant mobility advantage in water.

Bio-ultraviolet nature
Monarch classifies Tiamat as being "bio-ultraviolet" in nature, as she often travels onto land to feed on electricity. Harnessing this power in electrogenic cells, Tiamat can discharge electrical currents at such extreme temperatures that it boils the ocean, often causing massive steam trails that can be seen from space. She is also able to concentrate this electricity as a form of beam attack that she can fire from her eyes.

Durability
Tiamat is capable of surviving after Godzilla used his jaws to rip out a chunk of flesh from her body. Her body is strong enough to withstand powerful impacts from Godzilla's stomp and normal atomic breath. However, she is not capable of surviving Godzilla's supercharged atomic breath.

Expandable frills
Tiamat can expand the frills surrounding her head as an intimidation display and as a means to smother her foes.

Hydrokinesis
Tiamat can manipulate water, specifically maelstroms and waterspouts, which allow her to drag terrestrial and airborne foes underwater.[4]

Phosphorous ink
Tiamat is able spew a cloud of phosphorous ink from chemoreceptors in her venom hood that is capable of blinding and disorienting Titans like Godzilla momentarily.

Razor-sharp scales
Tiamat's body is covered in razor-sharp scales that can cut deep gashes into the skin of other Titans, including Godzilla.

Speed and agility
Tiamat is able to move incredibly fast underwater, which allows her to outmaneuver and swiftly coil around Godzilla.

Strength and combat
Tiamat can use her jaws and tail as dangerous weapons in combat. She also uses her serpentine body to strangle her foes like constrictor snakes. Her physical strength allows her to effortlessly burst through thick glacial ice, and is almost on par with Godzilla's before the latter uses his atomic breath to blast her into pieces.

Weaknesses
Dry land
Although Tiamat can survive out of water, she is still an aquatic creature with a severe disadvantage on land. When yanked out of the water by Godzilla, Tiamat was swiftly overpowered and forced to submit.

Supercharged atomic breath
Although Tiamat is able to survive several blasts of Godzilla's atomic breath in their previous battle, she is obliterated and torn into several pieces when he is supercharged by the vast amounts of radiation he had been feeding on as he prepared to battle the Skar King.

Tiamat's design shares several similarities with Titanosaurus (seahorse-like head) and Manda (serpentine Asian Dragon-like body).

Tiamat is a sea serpent kaiju that frequently tangles with Godzilla. She's one of the longest kaiju in the Monsterverse, at 847 feet from nose to tip. Tiamat takes her name from the Babylonian sea deity that also inspired the iconic Dungeons and Dragons dragon god.
