Puzzle #1: The King Of Monsters!

Image
"Rawr!" Hi there! I'm Harrison, an avid crossword solver and constructor. I created this blog as a home for my oddball crossword ideas. You can expect a variety of sizes with interesting shapes and good fill. My cluing style includes pop-culture references and a lot of puns. This blog should update quite often with mainly midis. 15x15s and meta puzzles will be published, though infrequently. I really enjoy making these puzzles and I hope you enjoy solving them! Without further ado, let's get into the first ever puzzle on this blog! Gridzilla. What's a Gridzilla? A truly monster puzzle? Or a puzzle about the titular monster? In this case it's the latter. Godzilla has an extensive lore going back more than 70 years, so I jam-packed this puzzle full of it. I hope this puzzle isn't too beastly!
