Description

(I love how this turned out. I always like basing redesigns on the Showa versions, giving them a retro look while still looking updated. Speaking of updated, check out the older concept -> almightyrayzilla.deviantart.co… Bleh.

And in a way, the "Fire Spikes" is actually an homage to Anguirus from somewhere. Cookie for the guy or gal who knows it. :))

----------

NAME: Anguirus

HEIGHT: 35 meters (on all fours)

LENGTH: 90 meters

WEIGHT: 40,000 tons

CLASSIFICATION: Warrior

HISTORY: As his long-gone bretheren, the Ankylosaurid dinosaurs, are armored tanks, Anguirus is an armored fortress. The first Anguilasaurus Gigantis to make human contact casually swam to shore of Osaka, Japan's new capital. He wandered inland without hesitation, as if he were looking for something - possibly due to returning to familiar territory. He seemed intrigued by the sight of Osaka's landscape, trying to adapt to an environment he had never seen. The creature seemed peaceful at first, but when the self-defense force, throttled by G-Force, opened fire, the walking fortress became aggressive, swinging his tail which was likened to a bludgeon.

Because most weapons, such as tanks, jets, and missiles, were useless against monsters (Anguirus making no exception), a newly developed weapon, the Maser Cannon, was the prime example of ultimate destruction - it was capable of slicing through solid steel the way a razor could slice through defrosted butter. To G-Force's dismay, Anguirus is entirely immune to the intense beam of energy - many claimed to have seen the beam literally bounce off of his armored hide. G-Force's scientists were instantly fascinated by this armor, wanting to obtain a sample of it to make artificial replications. But to this day, the largest sample they've ever obtained was no bigger than an American quarter, nowhere near large enough to study its properties. The worst damage the creature took was a slight chipping of his left-shoulder armor and a scar over his left eye, leaving what many described as a testament of his Warrior status.

Anguirus is one of the most unique kaiju they've ever encountered. His method of fighting differed from most kaiju - he was not headstrong and did not go on mindless rampages, he fought with strategy. He would fight a defensive battle, often curling into a spiked ball and waited for his enemy to stop attacking. He even executed this defensive maneuver and rolled about like a soccer ball several times, crushing everything in his path. In the trails he left behind, a considerable amount of heat and radiation (aside from the obvious wreckage) was detected - a very similar amount to the residue Godzilla's atomic fire breath would leave behind; it was deduced that Anguirus can super-heat his dorsal spikes to searing temperatures to cause more damage to a threat. Finally, the armadillo-like reptile curled into his spherical position and did not move for several hours, waiting for the barrage of missiles, shells, and Maser blasts to stop. Getting nowhere fast, a temporary cease-fire was issued.

Anguirus is one of the few herbivorous kaiju G-Force has classified. After the cease-fire was issued, he wandered to a large, wooded area where he began pulling up entire trees. The creature cleared out most of the area before curling into a ball and falling asleep. Even more time was bought to conjure a plan. Anguirus was lured into a hilly area where he tripped large mines, setting off a landslide which buried him.

...

In 2020 (the "present" day), Anguirus burrowed from underground and began romping about New Tokyo; it was, indeed, the same one from 1956, judging from the scar on its left eye. Maser Tanks crawled out into the streets for the first time in 25 years, and the new 1215-W Maser choppers buzzed the sky for the first time in active combat. The bolts of energy both tanks and choppers fired could only annoy him.

Haruka Shirakawa, a mysterious girl who is literally half human/half Godzilla, became greatly frightened when it appeared, and this is what triggered Godzilla's instinct to protect her (more or less, an innate instinct to protect his own kind). After being freed from his captivity by G-Force (Godzilla would break through the containment barrier anyway), Godzilla arrived in New Tokyo. The two monsters sounded off, roaring in defiance to each other. Then both of them lashed out at each other, shoving each other into the nearby structures.

Curiously, the two did not seem to be harming each other - they almost seemed to be "playing" more than fighting (it was discovered that the two species are closely related genetically). But child's play was out of the question with the destruction being caused. The order was given to open fire. Both Anguirus and Godzilla were fired upon, and both gradually made their way (while still battling each other) into New Tokyo Bay. After falling into the water, all went silent. Suddenly, Anguirus' large carapace broke the surface. The ankylosaur began making a hasty though somewhat clumsy retreat out to sea, bobbing up and down like a cork. Anguirus was almost out of sight when Godzilla lunged out of the water. Shaking the water from his face, Godzilla opened his eyes and looked in all directions for Anguirus, but knowing their battle was over, the radioactive titan turned away from the land. Before diving beneath the waves, the creature turned back toward the city and emitted his roar. The roar echoed throughout the world, leaving humanity with subconscious fear. This was only the beginning...

Second Wave had begun.
