Can the English suffix "-zilla" be translated back into Japanese?


Can the English suffix [-zilla](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-zilla), a
backformation from "Godzilla" describing something as large and/or
destructive, be translated into Japanese and easily understood, and how would
it be translated? As "ジラ"?

Doing a search of weblio for [zilla](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/zilla) or
[ジラ](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A9) didn't come up with
anything.




I remember that this "-zilla" caught on for some reason among English-speaking
people, and appeared in several software names such as Mozilla, Bugzilla,
FileZilla. English Wikipedia even has a page describing this [suffix
-zilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-zilla)!

However, I believe that was an English-only phenomenon, and Japanese people
don't regard ジラ as a suffix. FWIW, this "-zilla" originally came from "whale",
because [ゴジラ was named after ゴリラ (gorilla) + クジラ
(whale)](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B4%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A9_\(%E6%9E%B6%E7%A9%BA%E3%81%AE%E6%80%AA%E7%8D%A3\)#.E8.A3.BD.E4.BD.9C.E7.B5.8C.E7.B7.AF).

That does not mean Japanese doesn't have a similar suffix. One classic example
is [-ゴン, which appeared in the names of many imaginary
monsters](http://www.infonet.co.jp/apt/march/syllabus/bookshelf/G/gon.html).
教育ママゴン is a buzzword used in the 1980's and it referred to abnormal mothers
who were crazy about education.
