-A pretty funny Retcon tossed into
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah in the '90s, the Godzillasaurus is meant to explain the origins of Godzilla somewhat. See, it turns out that Godzilla is actually an irradiated one of THESE things- a theropod that's lived to modern times. A SIXTY-FIVE-FOOT LONG Theropod. With a hilariously-tripod stance, because it's still a man in a suit dressed up like a theropod.
-This is all discovered when some Futurians and Japanese scientists go back in time to remove Godzilla from history- they head to World War II, and witness some American soldiers losing to the creature, as it seemingly "defends" some Japanese soldiers instead. The Futurians find the creature, injured by a naval bombardment, and dump it into the ocean, thinking they've saved the future. Unfortunately, ANOTHER nuclear accident gives this creature the ability to transform into Godzilla. There was some criticism that this scene was racist against Westerners, and showing some "wishful thinking" of a dinosaur defending Japan's own against foreigners. At least, that's what my friend's old
Godzilla book said.
-Another Godzillasaurus is found in a Rodan nest in a later film, and adopted by the Big G as "Baby Godzilla", and grows slowly through the movies, finally attaining full size in Godzilla's final battle against Destroyah.
-This is just a Giganotosaurus build, modified with Growth 12 instead of Growth 6. Almost unchanged otherwise (save some Defenses bringing it up to par), it produces a PL 13 creature. No match for Godzilla himself, but a frightening adversary.
