Description Spawned by the same nuclear fires that awoke Gojira in 1954, Anguirus was a mutated ankylosaurid that grew to enormous size and strength. Dr. Yamane was again instrumental in identifying the taxonomic relationships of this creature in 1955, with the help of a textbook written by Polish paleontologist PlateliΒ Hondon. When first encountered by modern humans, Anguirus was battling another Gojira and the antedeluvian struggle was witnessed by a pair of pilots who had landed due to mechanical failure in one of their planes. Anguirus and Gojira then swam to Osaka where their final confrontation led to Gojira immobilizing the huge ankylosaurid with a powerful bite to the neck and a blast of radioactive breath. Surviving this encounter, Anguirus was eventually captured and transported to Monster Land, where he lived in relative peace and isolation from the modern world. The skeleton is shown with and without the spiny carapace of armor. Unlike otehr anjlyosaurids, Anguirus possessed dermal ossicles that had completely fused together over the abdomen and thorax, forming a complete shell adorned with spines and hooks. Thanks for looking.

In his first appearence, he was a credible threat as a kaiju who was able to fight Godzilla to a standstill for much of the film.

On the contrary. He got his spiked tail handed to him, but they've been bros ever since.

I kinda like seeing Anguirus with a club tail. But then again, this isn't a skeletal rendition of the Final Wars version.

So, its shell is separated from its main skeletal frame

I've always thought Anguirus was some kind of synapsid rather than a dinosaur, considering his dentition and plantigrage feet, much like the rhedosaurus.

Franz-Josef73 In reply to Dark-Hyena [2014-06-10 11:35:19 +0000 UTC]

He's explicitly described as an Angillasaurus in "Godzilla Raids Again" so I went with the dino angle.

Dark-Hyena In reply to Franz-Josef73 [2014-07-05 10:40:48 +0000 UTC]

But he doesn't appear to have an antiorbital or mandibular fenestra.

Looking pretty cool, though i always consider Anguirus more of a land croc than ankylosaur or some weird-ass prehistoric reptile. Β Not dogging you, just my own thoughts on the character.

slowusaurus [2014-06-03 01:27:01 +0000 UTC]

I'm guessing that the shell must also be flexible enough since Anguirus can roll up into a ball like an armadillo.

I prefer to see Anguirus in a normal quadrupedal stance and not as some actor crawling on their knees

Franz-Josef73 In reply to Wesdaaman [2014-06-02 14:08:22 +0000 UTC]

That was the normal quadrupedal stance of Anguirus.
I work with what I'm given.
