Anguirus is one of the few Kaiju from the Godzilla movie series that is not humanoid. He stands sixty metres high and is one hundred metres long. Weighing in at thirty thousand tons, Anguirus has many rows of spikes along his back and large horns on his head. Anguirus was the first monster to face Godzilla in battle but was defeated and killed. Despite the notable handicap of being dead, Anguirus returned thirty years later and took on King Ghidorah and the cyborg Gigan with Godzilla. Victory was his, but he was swallowed up by the land and was not seen again until he unsuccessfully took on Mechagodzilla . Anguirus was one of the many monsters enslaved by the Kilaaks in Destroy All Monsters and acted as a guard for the aliens’ forward command centre. He took part in the battle against King Ghidorah atop Mt. Fuji, biting the creature with his gargantuan teeth.
Anguirus' latest appearance is in the GameCube/ Xbox game Destroy All Monsters Melee. In this game Anguirus uses his nasal blast and spikes to his advantage.
