Description
(Hopefully this version will make you kids happier!)Leaping Dinosaur
GOROSAURUS
HEIGHT: 50 meters
MASS: 23,000 metric tons
BIO:
When Faroe Island was being studied in the 1960’s, Dr. Makino and his team discovered a strange stone slab, almost 10 feet high, deep in the island’s jungle. Surrounded by what may have once been a temple, the Slab was covered in ancient runes and hieroglyphics of an unknown dialect (though similar ruins were later found in the deeper jungles of Ogasawara). On the Slab, there was a clear story being told: 4 gods once ruled this island, they being a giant beast-man, a reptile with long legs, a spiked four-legged monster, and a huge spider. They were depicted being “born” from the Slab when it fell from the stars, and the four monsters fought for dominance over the island. It wasn’t until the beast-man was appealed to by the people that he began to dominate the other 3, dispelling them to the far corners of the world - the spiked one to the north and the spider to the south. Only the leaping monster remained nearby, cast into the sea, and once the ancients built a special resonating chamber around the Slab, the reptile slept beneath the island, while the beast-man slept in the mountain within the island.
Mr. Tako, Dr. Makino’s investor, knew that the Slab would be a great scientific find and gain excellent publicity for Public Pharmaceuticals, even moreso than the soma berries, so he ordered the thing moved; something Makino advised heavily against.
Still, the damn rock was moved, and even the inch or two that it was shifted, and the mountain quaked, and KING KONG was released! After accidentally smashing the Slab, he began moving towards the village in search of soma, when a giant reptile burst from the surf…it was a massive dinosaur, easily as big as Godzilla, but with a freakish pair of powerful-looking legs...it was later named GOROSAURUS WATSONI, after Susan Watson, a member of the research team and the first person to encounter the monster. When Susan’s screams brought the rest of the team to the beach, it also brought the attention of Kong, who saved Susan from the jaws of Gorosaurus. The two titans rammed one-another, and battled ferociously until Kong nearly broke Gorosaurus’s jaw. Then, grasping the monster by the tail, he swung it far out beyond the beach, where, it was assumed, that the dinosaur decided against pursuing Kong.
After Anguirus freed Godzilla from his icy prison, Kong and the mutant saurian battled one-another in their historic bout at Mt. Fuji. Meanwhile, Gorosaurus, with no reason to return to Faroe Island, disappeared until the late 90’s, where he was discovered on Mondo Island, only a few hundred miles from Faroe. The dinosaur was considerably mellowed, but still aggressive towards humans. Still, he was rallied to Monster Island, where he was comfortable for a good while…until the Kilaak Invasion, of course.

Ah. And there's also Rodan, technically. Though in the first movie he appeared in, Rodan had this breath ability. And in the heisi, there's Fire Rodan... But for the remainder of the Showa series, before he became Fire Rodan in the Heisi, and in Final Wars in the Millennium, Rodan has been a tooth-claw kaiju. Same case for Anguirus, and some others.

The original Rodan used some high pressured breath attack.

see? tooth and nail kaijus are awesome! But ever since the heisei continuity and millennium continuity started, tooth and nail monsters are looked down for something "advanced" (like Fire Rodan). Technically, those tooth and nail monsters in Final wars (I doubt that Rodan was "fire Rodan in GFW, since he lacks the breathe weapon) were the easiest to kill (except Hedorah, which was weird...)

Well, look at King Caesar. He had a beam weapon back in his day, but now he doesn't have any form of weapon. Why is that is beyond me. I guess because Rodan and Anguirus (in GFW) were tooth and claw, and that would lead to make him look like an oddball of the three. That's my theory, anyway.

We don't know if he had his eye reflecting thing in GFW or not. He never got hit with a beam attack.

True. But what would be the point of mentioning that he had eye lasers, an never used them.

Nice work, but you might wanna redo the tail. If this dino could use his tail as a balance for kangaroo kicks, he'd need a longer tail, with a more heavily muscled base for the balancing.

I agree with Magnaz, sides that jumping kick that he did in King Kong Escapes and Destroy all Monsters...was just silly, as was Kong's design in the mentioned film. Speaking of which, you should do a pic of King Kong some time, I'm curious to see how'd you envision him

If he were to be taken to Monster Island, and Operation Final Wars was going on, I could see this guy pulling a Jurassic Park the Lost World final scene stunt. Awesome as heck. Though I wish he was a tad larger, but Kong isn't all that big. Meh. Still a cool design.

Dude, if this Gorosaurus tried to kangaroo kick, it would fall flat on its face.He's not meant to be a skinny, horizontal kaiju, but instead big, upright kaiju.I really don't like how you say he's not revelance to the series, I mean, in Destroy All Monsters, he kicked Ghidorah's ass, big time!

Eh? There's nothing skinny about this design o.o If anything it's better equipped with a sturdier tail and feet designed for kicking. And this design is not a horizontal type. And Gorosaurus wasn't an upright creature in the movies; at the most he was diagonal.
