Titanosaurus (チタノザウルス Chitanozaurusu?) of the IDW Publishing continuity is a giant, aquatic dinosaur kaiju. He appears in Godzilla: Ongoing and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.
Name[]
Titanosaurus shares his name with a real dinosaur genus, though they do not share many similarities other than that.
Design[]
Appearance[]
Titanosaurus resembles his incarnation from Terror of Mechagodzilla. He sports a fin on his tail and along his back. On both sides of head are two small fins. On the top of his head rest two antennae. He has a bipedal body with a rather long neck, a snout similar to that of a dromaeosaurid dinosaur, and short muscular arms similar to that of Godzilla. He has red scales with orange underbelly and neck.

History[]
Godzilla: Ongoing[]
Titanosaurus first appears in Godzilla: Ongoing #4 attacking Tokyo, where he is attacked by Boxer and his "Kaiju Kill Crew." Rodan soon appears in the city and does battle with Titanosaurus. Boxer's team manages to detonate a building and topple it onto the two monsters. Rodan flies away, but Titanosaurus is captured and taken to Monster Island.
Later in issue #10, the now-free Titanosaurus joins forces with Battra and battles SpaceGodzilla in London. Despite the two Earth monsters' efforts, they are defeated and SpaceGodzilla escapes.
Godzilla: Rulers of Earth[]
Titanosaurus, along with fellow monsters, Gezora and Manda attacked a fleet of aircraft carriers in the ocean. The attack was halted by Godzilla, who sent the three into retreat. Godzilla gave chase but couldn't catch up with them. It was revealed by Mothra's fairies that Titanosaurus and his two allies, were not actual alien kaiju, but were three water monsters that upheld the natural balance.
Titanosaurus was later seen being transported to new Monster Islands, but joined the brawl between Godzilla, Gezora, Manda and the newly revived Destoroyah. The military intervened and sent the three aquatic monsters into retreat with a blast from their new sonar guns, only with Godzilla grabbing onto Titanosaurus' foot, dragging him down. Titanosaurus suffered a broken arm in the fight, but he went on to destroy the Cryogs' spaceship, before retreating to heal his injuries. Titanosaurus is later seen in the oceans of the Monster Islands.
It was revealed later that the Trilopods captured Titanosaurus and took on his characteristics, then imprisoned him in their hive. When King Caesar went on a rampage in the Trilopod hive, Titanosaurus was among the monsters set free. Titanosaurus and the other monsters then joined with Godzilla to battle the Trilopods in Los Angeles. Titanosaurus briefly battled his Trilopod clone before Zilla stepped in and mauled it. He later took part in the battle against Magita, but did little but annoy the massive Trilopod. After the defeat of Magita, Titanosaurus and the other monsters followed Godzilla back to the ocean.
Abilities[]
Amphibiousness[]
Though a reptile and not an amphibian, as primarily an aquatic creature, Titanosaurus can breathe and swim very efficiently underwater.
Tail[]
Titanosaurus can whip up a cyclone with his tail by opening the fin from the tip of his tail and swinging it back and forth.
Weaknesses[]
Supersonic waves[]
Titanosaurus cannot stand supersonic waves as they effectively stun and weaken him.
