Description
What is now the Kansai region, Honshu, Japan, 248 million years ago...
The cold air of the vast Hollow Earth tunnel was soon filled with the roars and honks of unfamiliar creatures as the jellyfish dragged Godzilla (still paralysed) through the enormous cavern.
The tunnel was in a much better state than the one that the former King of the Permian had first emerged from into this new world. Though the walls and ceiling of the chamber were made of dark rock, the cavern was illuminated by vast, glowing crystals of various colours, from pink to green to yellow. A vast, luscious, primordial forest coated the tunnel’s floor, possessing a wide variety of plants foreign to Godzilla as well as some of the flora of the Permian.
The wildlife was not just limited to plants: huge, armoured pareiasaurs, slightly different to those that Godzilla had encountered during the Permian, lumbered through the jungle, their glassy spikes occasionally reflecting the light of the crystals.

The jellyfish creature eventually let Godzilla go and rattled its slimy body once more, prompting the biggest of the pareiasaurs, clearly an old bull covered in scars, to lumber towards the two.

The invertebrate motioned towards Godzilla, prompting the pareiasaur to nod and grunt.

With that, the jellyfish let Godzilla go, and the pareiasaur picked up the paralysed reptile with its armoured head, placing the former King of the Permian on its back as it plodded back through the forest.

Godzilla had no idea what was in store with him, and felt somewhat cautious about the future as the pareiasaur reached its herd once more…

6 months later…
Sugon began to slither out of the Hollow Earth tunnel once more, his latest visit to Godzilla and the gyottos complete.

He was very happy with Godzilla’s progress. Despite some early teething issues (perfectly understandable, considering the state Godzilla was in before (Sugon almost felt guilty for having paralysed the reptile before but he had little recourse in the heat of the moment)), the gyottos had done a superb job of helping the former King of the Permian stabilise himself. They had fed him and given him water to drink, calmed him down when he lashed out, given him a shoulder to cry on. By now, they almost saw him as part of the herd, and Sugon would rarely encounter Godzilla away from the group of anapsids during his regular visits now.

That said, despite all the progress he had made, Godzilla was still not yet ready to take one crucial step, arguably the most important stage of this process: he still could not face venturing to the surface. It seemed that a lot of things up there, from the forests stuffed with roving reptiles to the murky yet equally teeming rivers, reminded the former King of the Permian of his old life that had perished so long ago in the flames of the Great Dying.

The loud vibrations of the footsteps of some enormous creature right next to him interrupted Sugon’s thoughts.

It was the leader of the gyottos herd. Presumably he intended to communicate about the exact thing Sugon had just been thinking about.

The two soon reached the end of the tunnel, the heat of the sun touching Sugon’s slimy skin.

However, just as the gyottos began to rhythmically stamp his foot on the ground in an attempt to speak to the jellyfish, there was a thunderous crash on the ground.

Sugon shuddered violently and lunged at the sound of the gyottos’ fall, his tentacles coiling around a familiarly spiky carapace.

Anguillas.

The invertebrate was soon smacked aside by Anguillas’ tail club, small chunks of his flesh flying everywhere.

He trilled loudly, indicating for the gyottos to run, and, judging from the rapid and thunderous footfalls he heard soon after, the pareiasaur obliged.

Sugon braced himself for impact, feeling the footsteps of Anguillas as she stalked up to him.

He readied his venomous limbs, crouched down, and then shot forward, colliding with Anguillas as the two of them tumbled down into the mangroves up ahead…

Name: Gyottos
Scientific name: Gyrotops luxospinus
Height: 108.2 meters
Length: 335.4 meters
Diet: Herbivore
Affiliation: Major Kaiju (Wildlife)
Though long extinct, the hardy Gyottos are interesting Kaiju from Earth's ancient past. These pareiasaurs dwelled in Hollow Earth tunnels in Triassic Japan, feeding on the luscious vegetation of their chosen habitat’s luscious tropical rainforests. Living in large herds, gyottos were also coated in many reflective crystalline spikes designed to refract and reflect light rather in the same way as King Caesar’s eyes though to a lesser extent, making them dangerously blinding on the surface. Godzilla seems to be quite fond of the gyottos: he seems especially saddened by the sight of their fossils when he finds them nowadays, and Scylla has reported that he has spoken fondly of them in the past. What exactly this connection is is unknown, though Scylla has also stated Godzilla seemed uncomfortable with pursuing the subject further.

Main Character Inspirations: Gyottos, an obscure Kaiju from the same manga as Osoros, Sugon and Zottos
Appearance inspirations: Scutosaurus, the original Gyottos and my own imagination

Gyottos, Godzilla, Osoros, Sugon, Anguillas, King Caesar and Zottos belong to Toho
That’s right, folks, after much tomfoolery and some false starts, AGE OF KAIJU! IS! BACK! Apologies for how rushed this one was but I’ve been stuck on it for a while and at the end of the day I just wanted to get it done and posted to announce AoK’s triumphant return! The Gyottos were suggested by Ameroboto . With that, we round out the quartet of manga monsters started in the original AoK!
