Description Spiked Wolf
Gévaudan bestia

Nickname: the Beast of Gévaudan ( Named after the legend )

Behavior: The Spiked Beasts live in france. These are an endangered species of meat eating pigs that have a population estimated around 200 or 300 in france, From what we can tell these creatures are solitary creatures and use their massive jaws to crush the skulls of their prey. They mainly feed off of the torso with them going with their favorite meal being the heart. The reason as to why they have quills is unknown and whether or not they have a use at all currently it is hypothesized that they are to defend themselves from surprise attacks from its own species. 

Discovery: It is believed that this creature spawned the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan which was a man eating wolf that was first reported around 1764 at first it was a legend but now we know the cause. Which are these carnivorous super pigs that were discovered during in a hiking trip with one of the tourists taking a picture before it ran away. After a few months Another tourist was brutally murdered by a strange beast with one of them being able to escape being fatally wounded describing a "spiked wolf". Then it was decided to hunt the beast with weeks of failure they finally were successful at both finding and tranquilizing it

They brought its body into a cage for research and with one of the scientists surprised with its similarities with the legend hence it's name. Little is known about its behavior and its origins. All we know is how it kills and eats with further research being needed.

The art is great, but this “thing”, is not Anguirus in any way, shape, or form, outside the spikes on the back. I’m not being a jerk, I’m just a purist when it comes to a character as beloved as Anguirus.

I know fam I get ya~ But the point of the series is to make the kaiju more realistic. Even I don't think this is anguirus. trust me. I tried my best to come up with a more reptilian version but I couldn't think of one scientifically without going the dinosaur route which I didn't want to take since dinosaurs like ankylosaurs arent alive anymore I was left with no choice but go the mammalian route. But I will try harder with the other characters

I meant no hostility or disrespect to your work, it just seems to out of the box for the character to be a swine/porcupine cross, at least to me anyway.

I know you don't mean to disrespect and neither was I disrespected, What made you think in the first place dude?~ I already told you why that is, Why he's a Swine/Hedgehog/Entelodont hybrid. I can't go the reptile route. The point is I wanna make a more realistic version faithful or not. That and I wanna make something different rather than do the same thing over and over again. Yes I agree with you it isn't Anguirus, But it's not like that's what I want.

I was gonna go the triceratops route but I wanted these creatures to live in the same time as we do So i made it to a mammal I wanted him to be a reptile but there's so many reptiles in the Godzilla universe I didn't wanna do that, It would just overcrowd it. People were fine with Baragon being a giant rodent and Varan being an Miniature flying iguana So why not a mammalian anguirus. I know that it's controversial. Just trust me. I tried.

I could do a crocodile but I have future plans for creatures that are crocodile-like in the series and it would make it redundant.

I would have went with an omnivorous Pangolin/Rhino/Crocodile type of thing. A longer tail would have made the difference.

True true, I might redesign him one day then~ Only question is: What habitat, Diet, lifestyle and relatives would it have. I'll figure it out one day and find a reason as to why a pangolin creature thing ended up that way evolutionary wise but for now this anguirus in this universe. I'll rename him once I find a kaiju that looks like him
