a daikaiju featured in the films Gigantis the Fire Monster, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla on Monster Island, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (briefly), and in some other films (very briefly, usually in stock footage)

Godzilla in the 1955 Toho film Godzilla Raids Again. The original English name given to the monster by Toho was Angilas, which was changed to Angurus in Gigantis, the Fire Monster, the 1959 American version of the film. In the mid-1990s, Toho copyrighted the revised name Anguirus, thus making it official.
