The size limit is too small for full-blown kaiju. To do this properly, you need to shrink everything else in the game slightly. I know, I've tried to calculate Godzilla's approximate size in cubic meters (and converted it to cubic centimeters for DF use) using a density of 1000 kg/m3 (humans have a density of 800 kg/m3, but I figured the radioactive metals in him would slightly increase his density), and it ended up slightly over the size cap. I wouldn't even want to know what Anguirus' size would be. Rodan might fit within the cap, but probably only if you reimagine him as an Azhdarchid pterosaur, which would make him much skinnier, and, by DF's reckoning, smaller than the humanoid abomination that is the official version.
