Description
Ancient DinosaurGODZILLASAURUS
Length: 65 ft
Mass: 10 tons
BIO:
Towards the end of the Cretaceous Period, the mightiest of theropod dinosaurs were officially outclassed by one massive species of predator: the GODZILLASAURUS ORIENTALIS.
The species wasn't officially named until the discovery of the first fossils in 1961, located in Southern China (not far from the Sea of Japan). It has long been theorized that GODZILLA's species called Japan (or a prehistoric equivalent) their home territory, and likely lived in a large island chain that has since shifted and sank into the Pacific.
The Godzillasaurus body structure is very similar to other carnosaurids, with the exception of being elegantly adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle. Fish and other seagoing animals were likely big on Godzillasaurus's list of prey, but they spent a large amount of time on land, where they hunted Angilasaurs and other herbivores as prey.
The last known specimen of G. orientalis were witnessed on the island of Lagos, where, upon retroactive study, there were at least 2 (perhaps more) of these dinosaurs, who had remarkably been by-passed by evolution and the climactic shifts of the planet. Thanks to the Bravo blast, both animals were mutated and became GODZILLA I and GODZILLA II. The creatures were both male (yes, Godzilla I's skeletal structure was typical of male theropod dinosaurs), so it has even been suggested that they were siblings of the same nest. It has also been noted that, due to reports near the Bering Sea around WWI, "monsters" were identified thawing from the ice and making their way south. Coincidence?
NOTE: We should count ourselves lucky that none of the Godzillas to date have been female, considering the growth patterns of carnosaurid genders, and just how much bigger and more ferocious the females were...
ABILITIES/ASPECTS:
- Can run at 12 mph
- Can swim at 20 mph
- Able to use dorsal plates as cooling units and mating displays
- Paddle-like tail used for underwater propulsion
- Can emit a napalm-like breath (see: Bombadier Beetle) to drive away powerful adversaries
UP NEXT: Gigamoth

To keep balance, he weighs several thousand tons and if he stood like this at that size he would fall flat on his face.

Is Godzillasaurus some sort of subspecies of T-Rex?

Guan-Ion?
And how does having three fingers make him a T-Rex?

I never said Guan-Long was a T-Rex.
You seemed to be the one implying that.

Holy crap, was all of that true? (don't tell me off for being a gullible idiot too much if it isn't).

Not a word. Just KaijuSamurai's re-invention of 'Godzillasaurus' from Godzilla vs King Ghidorah.

Still love this one, but I wanted to point out that there is no evidence that female theropods were larger and more ferocious. Though it is a reasonable assumption. The evidence that suggest gender differences amounf T-rex has been debunked, at this point it is all conjecture. I think you can make an argument either way: crocodilian males get larger, avians (which of course are actually dinosaurs) are mixed: raptor females are larger, but male ostriches (and many other male birds) are larger. just wanted to point that out.

Hate sounding sexist but I can accept females being more ferocious but larger? Idk dude

hypergojira In reply to KingKongDude [2009-12-20 19:38:39 +0000 UTC]
What are you talking about?
I said the evidence doesnβt support the claim that female theropods were larger than the males. However, the fact remains that in most (if not all) large birds of prey (the raptors) the female is larger than the male. Since birds are dinosaurs, you could speculate that female dinosaurs are larger than males. But there is no fossil evidence at this point to make that claim.
FYI, even in some primates the females are as large as the males and if you want to include insects I would guess that female animals are more often larger than males in general.

KingKongDude In reply to hypergojira [2009-12-21 21:26:16 +0000 UTC]
I agree with you there, but which species of primates are you refering to? I mean in general, arent males bigger in the world of mammals and reptiles? I mean I know female arachnids, insects, amphibians are larger.

hypergojira In reply to KingKongDude [2009-12-22 14:54:35 +0000 UTC]
Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact primate. If I remember correctly it was a small South American monkey. However, what I do remember was that in order to compensate, the males of this particular species had the largest testicles (relative to body size) of any primate. The trend in small monkeys is for the males to exaggerate something else (hair length or color are common) because they are so similar in size to the females.
Regardless, since birds are dinosaurs they are the best reference. And birds, quite frankly, go both ways. Sometimes the male is large, sometimes the female is larger, and a lot of the time they are about the same size.
