====Godzilla Series Monster cards==== {{Main|Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths/Box Toppers}} Each [[booster box]] contains a [[box topper]].<ref>{{WebRef|url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/555184299|title=Weekly MTG: Jumpstart!|date=February 20, 2020|publisher=[[Twitch.tv/magic]]}}</ref> For the box toppers [[Wizards of the Coast]] partnered with [[Wikipedia:Toho|Toho Corporation]] to feature its iconic monsters such as [[wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]], [[wikipedia:Mothra|Mothra]], and [[wikipedia:King Ghidorah|King Ghidorah]]. These [[skinned card]]s, called the ''Godzilla Series Monster cards'', feature Godzilla themed "[[Wikipedia:Skin (computing)|skins]]" on [[reprint]]s of regular cards.<ref name="Collecting"/> The name of the original card is featured in a small font below the Godzilla name of the card. The skin name is considered [[flavor text]] and has no effect on game play. Each [[booster box]] has a single-card Box Topper pack featuring a [[foil]] Godzilla Series Monster card. In Japanese boosters, there are 18 different Box topper cards in foil, three of which are only in Japanese. Due to an internal error, these Japanese-only cards do not appear in English or French Collector Boosters.<ref>{{DailyRef|news/japanese-exclusives-not-included-en-and-fr-collector-boosters-2020-04-16|Japanese Exclusives Not Included In EN And FR Collector Boosters|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|April 16, 2020}}</ref> In all other languages, there are 15 different box toppers. [[WPN]] stores will have an additional [[foil]] Godzilla card as part of the Buy-a-Box promotion.<ref name="Collecting"/> The 19th card with this treatment is the set's [[Buy-a-Box]] card {{card|Zilortha, Strength Incarnate}}, which initially only existed as a [[preview card]] in its Godzilla Series form. The in-Multiverse version would finally be released three years later in ''[[Commander Masters]]''. The 20th card with this treatment is a second Buy-a-Box card through a promotional event; this being {{card|Hangarback Walker||PLG20}} as [[Wikipedia:Mechagodzilla|Mechagodzilla]].<ref name="Love">{{DailyRef|news/announcing-love-your-lgs-promotion-2020-05-18|Announcing Love Your LGS Promotion|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|May 18, 2020}}</ref> The Hangarback Walker is not considered to be be a part of the Ikoria set. Godzilla Series' card are also featured [[Magic Online]] (as a part of [[Treasure Chests]]) and [[MTG Arena]]. While all 19 cards from Ikoria are featured in Arena, Magic Online only featured 15 cards (The non-Japanese Box Topper cards other than {{card|Void Beckoner||IKO|#=104}}, as well as the Buy-a-Box). The 3 Japanese-only cards will have their Godzilla name in their supported language in the Arena version.
