Quetzalcoatl is one of the Titans confirmed to exist in the MonsterVerse in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but never shown onscreen. A monitor screen at one of Monarch's bases reveals a map full of names of all the Titans that the secret government organization is keeping tabs on. The map provides not only their names, but also their locations.

Five of the Titans who dwell on the planet - Godzilla, Kong, King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra - are existing monsters from other franchises, but all the rest are original to the MonsterVerse. Four make their big screen debut in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Scylla, Behemoth, Methuselah, and a third M.U.T.O. are all seen answering Ghidorah's call after being awakened from their slumber. The same four Titans are present again in the final scene of the movie during the immediate aftermath of Godzilla's victory over King Ghidorah. In response to their alpha's defeat, the Titans follow Rodan's example and bow down to Godzilla, the new King of the Monsters.

They aren't the only new Titans introduced in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Eleven more are confirmed to exist as well, but are never seen in the flesh. One of the movie's missing Titans is Quetzalcoatl (Titanus Quetzalcoatl), a name rich with meaning in Aztec culture. Quetzalcoatl was being monitored at Monarch Outpost 57 in Machu Picchu, Peru. Known as the Lost City of the Incas and located on the slopes of Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is one of the most important archaeological sites in South America.

Quetzalcoatl's mythological connections can shed some light on what this creature may look like in the MonsterVerse. The Aztecs worshiped Quetzalcoatl, believing him to be a feathered serpent god. Quetzalcoatl is typically depicted as a giant, green creature with colorful feathers surrounding his snake-like body. According to some historians, the Aztecs were defeated because they were fooled into believing that Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés was the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl.

The MonsterVerse's Quetzalcoatl may also be connected to a different mythological deity. Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec god, yet he lived in the Lost City of the Incas. It's possible that the Incas may have had their own name for him. Interestingly enough, the Incas did indeed worship a deity who looked similar to Quetzalcoatl. Amaru was a two-headed, feathered serpent god with wings and the heads of a puma and bird. It could be that the Aztec and Incan serpent gods were inspired by sightings of Quetzalcoatl in the MonsterVerse. If so, then Quetzalcoatl could share qualities belonging to both creatures.

Considering that the Aztec god's most distinguishing characteristic is his feathered serpent body, this could be the main reason why the MonsterVerse gave him that name, which would mean that Godzilla: King of the Monsters' mysterious Titan may have a similar physical description. Quetzalcoatl would join a number of Titans related to dragons and snakes, but a feathered, snake-like Titan in the MonsterVerse would certainly be a first.
