MANDA
Length: 200 meters
Mass: 9,000 metric tons
Bio:
(from Legend of the Yamato Guardians) -
"The Sea God MANDA ruled the ocean with the rage that made her a Spawn of Orochi, and created chaos that impressed even Susano'o. In particular danger was the nation of Mu, though the Empress refused to send her armies to fight Manda, for fear that she was indeed the Dragon God incarnate, and that the people had done some evil to anger the serpent.
Nevertheless, the Priests of Yamato appeared to stop Manda. The kindests of the priests had stuck upon an idea, and went to a beach shore to call on an old friend of his. A small turtle came ashore and conversed with the kindly priest, and he asked of his friend to find something within the sea to quell Manda's rage.
Three days passed, and the turtle returned to the beach, dragging with him a colossal pearl of such beauty that the priest was rendered speechless. He presented the pearl to the Queen of Mu, and, taken aback by the gentle priest, offerred the pearl to Manda. As soon as the dragon's eyes fell upon the pearl, her rage was squelched, and she became the guardian of Mu, as long as the pearl was in the nation's protection."
Manda would be reawoken many years later to fight against an incredibly vicious foe...
Abilities/Aspects:
- Extremely powerful coils exert hundreds of thousands of points of pressure per square foot.

Not a huge fan of Manda, Baragon, Varan and the Trading Battle monsters having the Yamato Guardians roles, to be honest. But at least Manda is still the guardian of Mu.

Manda needs more love, honestly. One of my favorite Kaiju, but they never freaking use her outside of cannon fodder. (-._ .-)

Now, this one is one of the best, by a long shot. The amphibious elements don't dilute the "eastern dragon" feel one bit, and instead create a very unique, very elegant take on the concept. It's simple, but VERY visually interesting.

Manda is in fact an Asian Dragon, an Asian Dragons are often depicted having serpentine bodies.

As a Kid I was convinced that Manda was actually Reptillicus since in my mind back then I couldn't accept there were other Giant Snake monsters. The elegance and classic sea serpent design of this is excellent and really gives Manda a formidible aspect it never really had prior.

this looks epic. Hmmm, who do you think would win in a battle, Manda, or Haku's dragon form??

I notice you often use the word "squelch" when "quell" would be more appropriate.

Very cool version of Manda, especially like its tail fin! BTW, can Manda really generate electricity? I don't remember it using such an attack in any of the movies (though such an ability would suit a sea serpent well).
P.S. is Manda ever stated being female or did ya just decide to make Manda female for your series to add some variety?
