The Permian is a geologic period of Earth's history spanning 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period 298.8 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 252 Mya. It was the final period of the Paleozoic Era.

In the real world

• During this period, major evolution events took place, giving rise to the ancestors of mammals and dinosaurs.
• The supercontinent of Pangea forms.
• The Permian ends with the Permian–Triassic extinction event, also known as the "Great Dying". It is the worst mass extinction in Earth's history, killing roughly 90% of all species on the planet. The most widely accepted theory for the cause of this extinction is the eruption of the Siberian Traps.

In fiction

• Godzilla and other enormous organisms, some strongly resembling him, are forced into the deep sea and underground after the P-T extinction event reduces Earth's atmospheric radiation. (Godzilla (2014))
  • A Shinomura looking for food unknowingly lands near Godzilla and begins eating a large marine creature before being blasted by Godzilla's atomic breath. A piece of Shinomura falls down a crevice and lay dormant until 1945. Just then, a meteor collides with Earth, diminishing the atmospheric radiation and forcing large creatures that fed on radiation, like Godzilla and the MUTOs, to look for it near the Earth's core deep underground or underwater. (Godzilla: Awakening)
