Predatory?

Hello there. I've been thinking a tad bit on the whole idea that Godzila and the MUTO organisms feed on radiation and I've a small question: is it possible for them to sustain their body masses through the consumption of highly-diffuse photons (radiation) alone? Or can we expect them to require more...solid food? Are they predatory, and, if so, what would be their ideal prey? Surely something large enough to be worth their while? Then again, perhaps they're content to scoop up handfulls of screaming people and gobble them up like Skittles! Your conjecture is always welcome, even if you keep it to yourselves.

Maybe the Mutos eat Godzilla and he is forced use his atomic Breath and he is too weak to fight and they take some fleash and then thats Damaged Godzilla but i think Godzilla will use the atomic breath more than 3 times maybe 5.

Well, technically speaking Godzilla and the Muto creatures wouldn't be able to sustain themselves, period. In any real world they could never exist, but in this movie world they are allowed to ignore the whole sustenance thing so long as they have at least one major form of it. Radiation absorbtion for creatures that thrive on it is about as good a logic as movies need. The suspension of disbelief is their key to success in that regard.

Actually, Godzilla is way too large to survive on a solid, organic food source. Even at extreme ocean depths, how many marine lifeforms large enough to sustain a creature that size can there be? How long before that supply ran out? If anything, organic food sources would have to be secondary or complimentary to his survival.

@Something Real- We can only hope they make a Godzilla-Skittles commercial. :D

Also, @Zodgilla, you make a very valid point. I believe Tw_G-Fan2014 is correct, in that sense.

Deviation is not shameful. Conforming is.
