| ― Jack Horner dropped right into Godzilla's claws, Fairest #13 — "The Hidden Kingdom Chapter Six: The Hundred Demons Night Parade" |
Godzilla is a Fable yokai who lives in hiding in the Japan Trench. He debuts, with his only appearance, in Fairest #13 — "The Hidden Kingdom Chapter Six: The Hundred Demons Night Parade."
History
Godzilla is one of the many yokai from the Hidden Kingdom who were forced to flee their homeworld and are now living in hiding in Japan. The great beast lives in seclusion in the Japan Trench.
When fellow Fable Katagiri sends out many enchanted origami cranes in order to call forth all of the hidden yokai and have them join him in the fight against the kitsune Tomoko, some of the origami birds settle on the waves of the Japan Trench and drift down to an undersea crevasse, awakening the creature.
After the battle, one of the tengu grabs and flies off with Jack Horner, and drops him into the ocean, right into the claws of the legendary monster.

Fairest #13 (only appearance)
Original source
Godzilla is based on the monster of the same name from Japanese horror films.
Despite hearing Katagiri's summons, Godzilla is not actually a yōkai, as the famous monster is a modern creation associated with science.[1]
