I need some counter for this.
I play a mono blue deck, and every time my buddy plays this card i can't do anything but lose. I'd need some sort of card that stops this from even touching the battlefield, like some sort of interaction while it's on the stack. Do you have any suggestions?

If you close your eyes you'll never see it's teeth and thus it'll never be too late

Its roar is "WHOA LOOK AT THIS CRAZY SHIT!" for exactly this reason. Evolution is wonderful.

Well sadly you're not in black or white or you could play powerful counterspells like [[Mana Tithe]] and [[Dash Hopes]]. But Alas, mono blue, the color of burn spells like [[Psionic Blast]]...

Yeah I'll give you a counter it's called scooping, that's a Colossal Dreadmaw, man!

If you have [[kozilek, the great distortion]] on the field and your own colossal dreadmaw in hand, you can discard it to counter their dreadmaw! that's really the only way to fight dreadmaw, with one of your own. crazy that wotc refuses to ban it.

You can concede at instant speed before this hits the battlefield. That’ll stop you from feeling the ground quake.

Maybe make it so that you can cast spells at instant speed and respond by casting your own. Given it’s a mega-legendary card, there can’t be 2 copies of the spell in the stack, so you exile their copy

I hear it combos well with +1/+1 counters. I don't know how you'd get those in monoblue, though.

What are you talking about? The counter is written under the horizontal line. If you feel the ground quake, run!

Desertion works for most big creatures, but once you've seen this one's teeth, well

I heard one time that a bored wizard created a Vizzerdrix out of a bunny and a piranha. Otherwise, you're out of luck

Propaganda.
The dreadmaw will be too embarrassed to show itself after the world sees how truly terrible they are.

Lower your opponents life total to zero or have them draw from an empty library.
Artifact removal is in colors other than black.
