Godzillasaurus (ゴジラザウルス, 'Gojirazaurusu') is a species of theropod Dinosaur. It appeared in the Heisei series, and is accepted as what Godzilla was before being mutated by the bomb.

Overview
The Godzillasaurus is different from a real theropod because it walks upright like a human, and drags its' tail on the ground, much like older Theropod reconstructions. It has a smaller head than a real theropod , and has a double-row of teeth, much like a shark. As is shown in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2, Godzillasauri seem to be telepathic, as Baby Godzilla can contact his father, but it is unlikely that unmutated Godzillasauri would be able to do something like that. The Godzillasaurus species is also different from other theropod dinosaurs due to the fact that they contain a second brain located in their hip.
Film Appearances
Evidently the Godzillasaurus lived out in Lagos island in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (Heisei), and was attacked by soldiers during World War II. This was observed by Futurians that had traveled back in time in a bid to destroy Godzilla. They transported the mortally wounded creature to the Bering Sea, believing that it would die. However, in an incident involving a nuclear submarine, the near dead Godzillasaurus became the fully powered Godzilla.
Other film appearances
Another Godzillasaurus, Godzilla Jr, is found in Rodan's nest in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2. This one seems to have been affected by nuclear energy as well, considering the fact that when it was not fully grown, it was far bigger than the seemingly adult Godzillasaurus. (This is seen in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. This Godzilla can fire nuclear blasts, and appeared to have been a herbivore in his youth. However, in Godzilla vs. Destroyah, this Godzillasaurus is seen eating whales.
Trivia
- An actual species of Dinosaur was named the Godzillasaurus, in homage to Godzilla himself. However, this "Godzillasaurus" does not look like the ones displayed in the movies, grown or not, mutated or not.
- Ironically, Gamera's roar was used for the Godzillasaurus' roar .
- The Godzillasaurus is much larger than any real theropod.
