Anguirus

(a.k.a. Angilas)

During a certain period of time when the dinosaurs ruled over the Earth, one of these dinosaurs was called Annkylosaurus. This peaceful plant-eater lived among many other dinosaurs, some peaceful, some not. This prehistoric beast became extinct along with many others. But one survived. Mutated and transformed by radiation, this dinosaur became larger and heavier, it also gained a new name, Anguirus.

Anguirus's Story

Anguirus is a creature that started as an enemy of Godzilla but then became an ally. Anguirus was identified as a prehistoric beast who has been revived by radiation, as a cousin of the Ankylosaurus but after being transformed by radiation has become much more larger and powerful than his extinct relative.

A spiked shell-like covering protects Anguirus's back and a line up of horns on the monster's head protects his neck. This revived prehistoric beast has no real offensive weapons as Godzilla does. He often relies on his fantastic fighting spirit to get him through the tough battles.

In Godzilla Raids Again, Anguirus fought Godzilla but was apparently killed. But after that, Anguirus was show often fighting along side Godzilla, or just there to enjoy the show. Some of the monsters that Anguirus helped Godzilla defeat are King Ghidorah, MechaGodzilla, and the cyborg Gigan. In fact, Anguirus became Godzilla's most loyal ally.

Because Anguirus is only monster that looks like his extinct relative, and his never-say-die attitude, that allows Anguirus to retain a powerful following among many fans. Like I said in the fist paragraph, having no projectile like radioactive fire or any energy rays, Anguirus depends on his claws and teeth, but mostly on his fierce fighting spirit. One his most powerful weapon is his most destructive to the bad guys, Anguirus is able to throw himself backward, revealing his spikes on his back.
