First Seen: Godzilla Raids Again
Anguirus made his first appearance in Godzilla Raids Again, making him the first enemy Godzilla would face. A distant cousin of the Ankylosaurus, Anguirus is a gigantic spiked lizard, sporting a crown of horns and a large spiked carapace. He has no beam attacks or weapons of any kind except for his own body. He was actually defeated in his first bout with Godzilla but would burrow underground to heal and fight along-side Godzilla later in the series.
One of the only Godzilla characters to walk on all fours, Anguirus is easily a fan-favorite with his never-give-up attitude and his loyalty to Godzilla. The Showa Era brought a sense of family and friendship to the Godzilla monsters and Godzilla and Anquirus would be an inseparable pair. He fought the likes of King Ghidorah, Gigan, Megalon, MechaGodzilla, and the King himself. He even gets kicked around like a soccer ball in Godzilla: Final Wars which is now a classic scene with Anguirus and Godzilla. One of the early monsters, Anguirus would only appear in the Showa Era series and for one final battle in 2004 for Godzilla: Final Wars.
