Anguirus

Anguirus (アンギラス Angirasu) is a Titan who appeared in Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy.

Anguirus was discovered in South Africa in 1959. This Titan never attacks first - he will fight only if being provoked. And despite being one of least aggressive kaiju, Anguirus becomes a truly fierce fighter in a combat. His body is covered in spikes and plates, giving him protection from enemies, and his tail club is a great weapon, as it can easily stun or knock down other Titans. This kaiju is surprisingly fast - he can run or even curl himself into a ball and roll around, avoiding energy attacks and ramming into enemies, causing massive amounts of damage.

Alongside with Rodan and Mothra, Anguirus is one of Godzilla's greatest allies, and he will cover King's back whenever he's able to.

Name
Anguirus's Japanese name, Angirasu (アンギラス), comes from the Japanese spelling of the name of the dinosaur genus Ankylosaurus (アンキロサウルス Ankirosaurusu), upon which the monster's design is based.

Design
The LordVerse Anguirus is essentially based upon the Anguirus from Godzilla: Final Wars. A few addons are that it has spikes on its shoulders and has a club for a tail, like an Ankylosaurus.

Origins
Anguirus is an ancient Titan that had been resting in South Africa.

Episode One - The Arrival
Anguirus confronted Godzilla when he attacked a city, and after a stand-off, he blew Anguirus off-guard with his atomic breath. Anguirus, realizing something was wrong, fought Godzilla head on. With support from the EDF, Anguirus was able to wear down Godzilla well. He rammed and stomped Godzilla, stunned him with a sonic roar and managed hit a tail club. However, he couldn't take him out, and after a wrong move, Godzilla managed to bite his neck and make him bleed. Anguirus retreated after unsuccessful taking out Godzilla.

After Rodan rescued the real Godzilla, Anguirus gathered with the two and Mothra. Anguirus now saw the real Godzilla do his final roar of the day.

Physical Strength
Anguirus has shown to have great strength. Able to ram and stomp on Fake Godzilla, he faired well against the doppleganger. However, it was still not enough to do significant damage to Fake Godzilla.

Durability
Anguirus has a Spiked Carapace, an armored hide covered with spikes and plates which allows him to take hits from conventional weaponry and Fake Godzilla's atomic breath.

Spiked Tail Club
Like an Ankylosaurus, Anguirus possesses a Tail Club, with the addition with spikes at the end.

Speed and Agility
Anguirus is shown to leap and run at high heights and speeds.

Anguirus Ball
Anguirus can build more speed by curling himself into a ball. While there is no official name from Dinomania, Final Wars calls it the "Fierce Dragon Monster Ball Violent Bullet" or simply Anguirus Ball. He can use this ability to ram at high speeds.

Sonic Roar
Like Raids Again and the Atari games, Anguirus possesses a Sonic Roar. This briefly stun Godzilla the first time he used it. The second time, the sonic roar was cut short from a tail swipe.

Weaknesses
Anguirus can sometimes have not enough physical power to exceed his enemies.

His neck and underbelly are the softer spots, unlike his shell armor on top.
