Unused Monsters
Comments0this wiki
Quite a few concepts for monsters were made for Godzilla: the Series but were never used. They were given names used by actual Toho monsters since they were just quick sketches or ideas. The first picture shows the unused monsters that were cataloged as Anguirus, Biollante, Gabara and the organic and mechanical versions of Moguera. The second pic shows the Flying Gigan, two pics of Gus the Spider, two pics of Manda the Worm, and two pics of Megalon.

Monsters
Edit
Anguirus
Edit
Named after the great Ankylosaur kaiju, this monster would probably have been a burrower but it is unknown as he was never shown outside of one piece of concept art.
Biollante
Edit
Named after the bio-engineered plant kaiju, this monster had tentacle/vine like appendages but that is all that can be made out. It appeared on one piece of concept art.
Flying Gigan
Edit
A homage to the alien cyborg kaiju, the Flying Gigan is a bat like creature. It is featured in the opening sequence of the show and does battle with Zilla for most of it. It was also featured on a piece of promotional art for the series, battling Zilla in and underwater environment.
Gabara
Edit
Named after the imaginary kaiju, this monster has very little discernible features aside from its' double-mouth. It appeared on one page of concept art.
Gus the Spider
Edit
An homage to the great spider kaiju, Gus appeared at the end of the opening sequence. The Giant Mutant Widow Spider was based off of Gus' design. Its most notable feature was its extremely large mandibles.
Manda the Worm
Edit
An homage to the dragon goddess kaiju, Manda appeared at the end of the opening sequence.
Megalon
Edit
An homage to the beetle god kaiju, Megalon appeared at the end of the opening sequence.
Moguera
Edit
Named after the dividing robot, this monster apparently was supposed to fight Zilla, be K.O.'ed and then be ressurected using robotics. It appeared on one sheet of concept art.
Bird Of Prey
Edit
This creature (not shown) was orginally meant to be in the episode "Wedding Bells Blew". However, due to their being a lot of Bird like animals in the series, the Bird of Prey was replaced with the Mutant Manta Ray.
Female Godzilla
Edit
This creature (not shown) was originally meant to be in the episode "End of the Line". However, the show's producers didn't want another Godzilla in the series. Therefore, the Female Godzilla was replaced with the mutant komodo dragon, Komodithrax.
