My Take- ANGRUIRUS

Published:

Description

I decided that if I was going to do Godzilla, I would do Anguirus as well.

Alot of redesigns make Anguirus a ankylosaur, even though no where does Toho say that he's a ankylosaur. Based on one, yes, but not exactly one.

I admit, I have toyed with that idea. Maybe Anguirus (and his kin) were ankylosaurs who were left in a area with little plants, and had convert to eating meat.

However, recent discoveries have shown crocodiles and other archosaurs were pretty much a good way to fool around with Anguirus's possible origins and design.

Overall, this is a fusion of the Showa and Final War designs. I gave the carapace a segmented look, making the thunder ball attack more plausible, The tail has four spikes per segement (ending with a spike). The legs have spiked scutes, and the neck also have spikes and scuts on the top. The mouth lacks lips, being more like a crocodilian's. The skin texture was done to resemble the scales on the DAM costume (the 1955 design had warty skin).

Overall, I think this is a pretty cool redesign. What do you all think?
