Description
Armored DinosaurANGUIRUS
Height: 30 meters (at the shoulder)
Length: 80 meters
Mass: 30,000 metric tons
Type 1 - Beast Class
Bio:
ANGUIRUS is the rottweiler of daikaiju. He is tenacious, powerful, fast and fearless. And yet, he is at his most content when simply grazing on trees in the forests of Hokkaido.
Nevertheless, Anguirus is a species of a hitherto unknown type of ankylosauridae dubbed "Angilasaurus," and the animals were supposedly fiercely territorial with Gojirasaurs in the late Cretaceous, maintaining a healthy rivarly with the predators not unlike that between Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.
Despite the intense animosity between the two beasts when first meeting, Angurius's defeat at Godzilla's claws seems to have forged something that could only be understood by the mind of a monster: a kind of kaiju-loyalty. Anguirus is quick to jump to Godzilla's aid, even when he doesn't really need it.
Godzilla, in turn, has never turned his aggression on his shorter ally since their epic battle in Osaka.
Anguirus is vastly larger than any other specimen of his species, yet he does not seem to be a mutation (strangely, not unlike Rodan), as little to no radiation has been detected on him. However this came to be is an absolute mystery.
Anguirus's scar on his left eye is a testemant to Godzilla's might, which he will never forget. But if what the Shobijin say is true, it is not fear that rules the ankylosaur's spirit....it is respect.
Abilities/Aspects:
-Incredibly thick armored hide, nearly impervious to conventional weaponry
-Huge mace-like tail that can shatter buildings
-Incredible tenacity
-Max. land speed of 90 miles per hour
-Able to curl body under segmented "shell" (comprised of bony scutes) and roll/bounce as a collosal ball of demolition
Character (c) Toho
Redesign by Matt Frank
UP NEXT: Rodan

i may be a random commenter, but some dinosaurs were thought to never stop or slow growing later in thier life, especially long necked dinosaurs. a few "new" species discovered (sauroposidion) were later proved to be just an abnormally large brachiosaurs. hope that helps...

I love this pic, how did this not get Faved until now?
Also, what are the odds of Anguirus getting updated in the comics to look like this? His 60's incarnation looks rather muppet-y in the more modern and realistic setting of the comics.

so he, mind, body, and soul respects godzilla and not fear him like other kaiju do? he kinda reminds me of Ironhide from the transformers movies who respects Optimas Prime and in a little bit like the hammerhead from the spectacular spiderman series who respects as well as fear Tombstone.

Lol, well in the movies, he did. However, in Neo, operation: Destroy All Monsters, does exactly that. In his story, all but Godzilla, Mothra, Battra, and Bagan survive, the latter three eventually dieing. Thus begins a new era of monsters

To me, Anguirus is just like the Heavy from Tf2, with the same voice actor.

One fight, and they become like brothers. Maybe because they were fighting for territory, not absolute destruction.

A purely Ankylosaur take on Angs is neat, i must admit. Makes it less confusing and more sensible, so I can see why you went there, as he's more passive in Neo than the pretty aggressive movie kneewalker.

It's ok, but it's not Anguirus to me. I always thought of Anguirus as this awesome fantasty thing based off of Ankylosaurs and Ceratopians. Making him a pure Ankylosaur-based kaiju takes away from his spirit, well, to me.

Good job, but you forgot to mention Anguirus's sonic roar that was introduced in Godzilla Unleashed. I think I preffered the sharp toothed beak though. Why don't you be creative and draw a picture of Godzilla and Anguirus fighting side by side against some one like Gigan or Rodan.
