Biography: 1955 saw not only the second Godzilla mutation, but also the discovery of a prehistoric monstrosity. An Anguilasaurus, better known simply as Anguirus, was spotted on a remote island in battle with the next Godzilla. The two beasts fought on before vanishing into the depths. Just a few days later, they met again in the city of Osaka. The warring titans devastated the city, but Godzilla managed to rip out the spiked saurian’s throat and cast his body into a sea of atomic fire. The living fossil, Anguirus, was defeated and sent back to the extinction list…

Until 1969, that is.

A second Anguirus was spotted on the same island chain as the first. Before it could cause any damage, the monster was wrangled up by self-defense forces and moved to the secure Monster Island. The beast was a ravenous killer, much like the former. However, after having numerous battles with the island’s denizens, especially Godzilla, something began to change. Much like Godzilla’s increase in intelligence, Anguirus also began to become smarter! By 1972, Anguirus and Godzilla had retired their rivalry and became partners! Together, they thwarted the Nebulan invasion and sent Gigan and King Ghidorah fleeing back into space. In 1973, atomic bomb tests near the island ruined it and Anguirus burrowed to safety. He was lost for nearly a year before emerging from the ground in Japan to confront the Godzilla-disguised MechaGodzilla.

The brave quadruped was rewarded with a busted, bloody jaw for his trouble. However, his mission was a success. He had alarmed his friend of this invasion. Without the regeneration of that of Godzilla, it took Anguirus nearly a decade to recover fully. When Monsterland was established in the 1990’s, the spiked saurian was once again rounded up and taken to a new island paradise to live out the rest of his days in peace.

From the journal of Dr. Otani,

Anguirus may be the second most intriguing kaiju of our project, surpassed only by Godzilla himself. I have watched countless hours’ worth of footage of the dinosaur… I personally refuse to call this beast a monster… and can’t believe that the one we have is the same as the one in 1969. I watched this predator viciously hunt down entire herds of cattle and gulp them down in a mere minute. I watched this dinosaur tear through Kamacuras and leave nothing but bloody smears on the dirt…

And now Anguirus is only a few steps away from human intelligence, if even. Sometimes I have my thoughts that he can speak, especially judging on footage captured by Monster Island personal in 1972 mere days before the battle against Gigan and King Ghidorah. If I didn’t know better, I swear it looked like Godzilla was giving him orders!

After much studying, I have discovered that, of all kaiju on Monster Island at the time, Anguirus had the most exposure to Godzilla during his increase in intelligence. It is a well-known fact that Godzilla’s intelligence is owed to the radiation in his brain unlocking unused sections. It is my theory that Anguirus’ exposure to Godzilla’s radiation, especially taking numerous blasts of his beam to the head and face, has caused a unique mutation in Anguirus’ brain, thus allowing him to rapidly learn and become far more intelligent. Be it I’m right or wrong, nobody else has offered any better an explanation for Anguirus’ sudden intelligence in the 1970’s.

Eyes of the Kilaakians

He can walk, swim, and burrow. What a creature! This monster, Anguirus, is extremely fascinating. These humans have a saying “there’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity” and, if that is true, the beast walks that line perfectly everyday. Reports from Nebulans say that the monster blindly rushed Gigan’s buzzsaw without a second thought to try and help Godzilla. That is admirable, extremely admirable. It is this reason that I have decided to utilize Anguirus as a guard for our Brazil base when it is in operation.

In the mean time, Anguirus will be unleashed upon Hong Kong! I want no structures standing by dawn!
