Angilas (or Anguirus) was Godzilla's first monster
foe in the movie Godzilla Raids Again (1955). He fought
with Godzilla on an island in the beginning of the movie and
was killed by Godzilla near Osaka castle. Angilas is a cousin
of the the Ankylosaurus, which lived millions of years
before. He has brains on several parts of his body and fights
to the death in battles as seen in Godzilla Raids Again.
Angilas's second appearance was in Destroy All Monsters (1968)
as Godzilla's ally and not his enemy. From that movie on Angilas
remained Godzilla's ally. He has appeared in six Godzilla movies
including Godzilla's Revenge (via stock footage), Godzilla
vs. Gigan, Godzilla vs. Megalon (shortly for 1 scene),
and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Angilas today is a
favorite among many, including myself. Fans have always wanted
Angilas to come back in another movie. Rumors popped up during
preproduction of Godzilla X Megaguirus (this was before
we knew the title of the movie) and GMK that Angilas would
return, but Toho (obviously) confirmed that he wouldn't be returning. |
