Anguirus'southward Japanese name, Angirasu (アンギラス), comes from the Japanese spelling of the proper noun of the dinosaur genus Ankylosaurus (アンキロサウルス, Ankirosaurusu), upon which the monster's design is based.

Several American publications from the 1970s, including issue #34 of The Monster Times and the children's book Godzilla past Ian Thorne, offer Anzilla as an alternate spelling. The origin of this proper noun is unknown.

Godzilla: Rulers of Earth [edit | edit source]
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Anguirus is considered a land monster that was frozen in an ice cap until he was reawakened forth with all the other Earth monsters.
In Godzilla: Rulers of World #fourteen, Anguirus is ambushed by a Mechagodzilla that was congenital past the Cryog leader disguised as a Russian warmonger. The mecha badly wounds Anguirus and nearly snaps his jaw. Eventually, Mechagodzilla blasts Anguirus with several weapons and leaves him for dead. When Lucy Casprell and her team go far, they discover that Anguirus is still live and send Kiryu to recall him and bring to the Monster Islands. Kiryu is all of a sudden given new orders to bring Anguirus to a Russian facility, and flies off with the downed saurian. Along the way, Kiryu is shot downward past a group of more Mechagodzillas nigh a robotics facility in Russian federation. Anguirus manages to escape Kiryu'due south grip and enters the facility, which the Cryog leader has converted into an loonshit where Godzilla is doing boxing with Mecha-King Ghidorah and more Mechagodzillas. Anguirus joins the battle aslope Godzilla. Godzilla uses Anguirus as a flail and slams him into Mecha-King Ghidorah's chest, critically damaging him. Somewhen, Godzilla destroys the remaining Mechagodzillas while Mecha-Male monarch Ghidorah retreats. Godzilla and Anguirus then get out the arena together, but not earlier Godzilla completely destroys information technology with his atomic jiff. Somewhen, Anguirus was captured by the Trilopods, who absorbed his DNA, and was imprisoned in their hive in Los Angeles. When King Caesar allowed himself to be captured by the Trilopods, he freed the other kaiju inside the hive, and they all joined together to aid Godzilla, Zilla, and Jet Jaguar battle against the Trilopod hybrids. After the Trilopods were defeated, the behemothic Trilopod Magita was unleashed and attacked the monsters. Anguirus attempted to battle Magita by slamming into the behemothic Trilopod several times, but was knocked aside by the massive creature. After Godzilla destroyed Magita using his hyper screw ray and nuclear pulse, Anguirus and the other monsters followed him out to sea, then dispersed effectually the globe to live in peace.

In the next issue, where the monsters were joined by Hedorah, Anguirus made his first motility against Mecha-King Ghidorah as he rammed him afterwards he was falling from Mothra'south attack. When Mecha-Male monarch Ghidorah was down, Anguirus kept slashing at him, leaving the latter vulnerable. Later subsequently Mecha-Male monarch Ghidorah was defeated by Godzilla, all of the monsters were left behind every bit the humans left the Globe equally it became covered past tiny robotic cells that served as interdimensional doorways.

Sightings [edit | edit source]
- Anguirus's roar was used in many video game series such as Street Fighter and Metroid.
- Anguirus'southward roars were reused for the Draygon boss of the Metroid series.
- In Dairanger, Daimugen reuses Anguirus' roar.

Roar [edit | edit source]
Similar Godzilla, Anguirus'due south roars were created past a musical instrument: the saxophone.[24]
Anguirus'southward roars were later sped upwards and used for Mothra. This is most evident in the film Godzilla vs. Mothra, where after being injured, Mothra lets out a roar that sounds almost identical to Anguirus'south. In Godzilla Final Wars, his roars were mixed with beast growls.

Untextured view of the skeleton of "a animate being that might or might not exist Anguirus" from the "The Undersea Lair" bonus feature for Godzilla: King of the Monsters
- Godzilla: Male monarch of the Monsters director Michael Dougherty stated that, "the skeleton of a brute that might or might not be Anguirus is briefly visible in one shot, just exterior Godzilla's underwater lair."[26] Anguirus is also featured in concept art of the film's final scene, published in The Art of Godzilla: Rex of the Monsters, as are other established kaiju such as Gigan and Gamera.[27] In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dougherty said, "We had thought nearly using some additional Toho creatures to requite them some cameos but every Toho animate being comes with a cost tag. Information technology was a option to either shell out more money simply for the rights for these creatures to show upwards on screen for a few seconds, or embrace the opportunity and the challenge to create new creatures."[28]
- A sprite model for the 1955 design of Anguirus is present in the game files for Godzilla Defense force Force, although he cannot be encountered in the game itself.[29]
- Steve Bissette conceptualized a surrogate monster for Anguirus during development of Dark Horse'south Godzilla, King of the Monsters Special comic in 1987, forth with similar analogues for Mothra and Rex Ghidorah. While the Mothra and Ghidorah surrogates were discarded, Bissette'southward Anguirus stand-in, tentatively given the proper noun "Great Turtle," was slightly retooled into the monster Kamerus, which appears through multiple flashbacks in the comic.
