AnguirusAnguirus is a daikaiju first featured in the 1955 Toho film Gigantis the Fire Monster (also known as Godzilla Raids Again), and later in Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla on Monster Island, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (briefly), and in some other films (very briefly, usually in stock footage). Anguirus is one of the few kaiju from the Godzilla movie series that is not humanoid. He stands sixty meters high and is one hundred meters long. Weighing in at thirty thousand tons, Anguirus has many rows of spikes along his back and large horns on his head. Anguirus was the first monster to face Godzilla in battle but was defeated and killed. Anguirus either revived, or another of his species appeared, and he later helped Godzilla take on King Ghidorah and the cyborg Gigan. When Monster Island was wrecked by nuclear tests, he was swallowed up by the land, and was not seen again until he unsuccessfully took on Mechagodzilla, who was disguised as Godzilla. Anguirus was one of the many monsters enslaved by the Kilaaks in Destroy All Monsters and acted as a guard for the aliens forward command center. He took part in the battle against King Ghidorah atop Mt. Fuji, biting the creature with his gargantuan teeth. Anguirus returned to the screen in as an enemy of Godzilla and has been featured in the Atari video games and . Anguirus has also been modelled in plastic action figures and plush toys. Some identify Anguirus as physically similar to the prehistoric Ankylosaurus. He's also the biggest ally of the Showa Godzilla series... External link
