Getting back on topic... Would it be feasible to go directly to a "Kaiju of Golarion" Campaign Setting book? I'm imagining something in the Revisited format, with each chapter devoted to one unique kaiju or family thereof...
I would love such a book, and maybe it have a small article about the difference between the origins of Kaiju of Golarion and the Spawns of the Rough Beast. Also what if Kaiju not only live in the Valashmai Jungle but in other spots around the globe? Did Azalanti arcane sciences create monsters that went into slumber when their creators fell from grace? Numerian tinkering and mutations could possibly lead to something.
What does everyone think? What ideas do you have for the possibilities of Kaiju outside of the Valeshmai Jungle?

Almost every nation has possibilities.
The Lands of the Linnorm Kings could have a kaiju-sized Linnorm in the Stormspear Mountains or dwelling in the seas off of the coast, that serves as a Midgard Serpent / Jormungandr analogue, and spends entire generations of men sleeping in the depths.
The Realm of the Mammoth Lords has a lot of megafauna, such as the mammoths mentioned right there in the name. It seems like the sort of place that would have a pretty decent food supply for a kaiju, perhaps some sort of avian like a super-sized mythic Roc that swoops down and carried full-grown mammoths away in its talons.
If Irrisen has a kaiju, it could be a monstrous ice elemental creature, like a living glacier that crawls across the land, crushing entire towns.

At least, that's probably how I'll do it if I can convince my Runelords GM to allow my wizard to craft one.
Adamantine Golem advanced to 45 HD using the advancement rules so that it's at least Gargantuan (preferably Colossal, but that would require advancing it to 60HD, and it's already a CR 19 creature), with a Shield Guardian template and a hollow place in its head for you to sit in and observe the outside world via magic items that cast clairvoyance, scry and various other necessary divination spells. By directing the golem from in there, you are controlling what amounts to a Jaeger.
Still need some way of getting the "Massive" quality onto the thing, so it can compare much more nicely, but I think that's a good start.

Bestiary 4, they are customizable super robots that crush faces and go by the name Juggernauts.
Also when we get IRON GODS!
Sorry Numeria has me all atwitter.
Nope, Juggernauts (and excuse me but I have to use it)

I think if they allow you to make anything half as cool as the name implies then I'll just make sure they do.

Seriously, if this was made into a book, who wouldn't want it? I think if we got stats for a whole bunch of kaiju and how to make your own it would be awesome. Maybe have, like it was mentioned, a few Mythic Level kaiju related spells or have maybe a few classes designed to have some relation with these creatures?
