The Dragon (竜 Ryū) is a kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1987 tokusatsu fantasy film, Princess from the Moon.
Name
Although usually only referred to as Dragon (竜 Ryū) in most media, the creature has been given several other names from various publications, such as Sea Dragon (海竜 Kairyū) from All Toho Monsters Pictorial Book[1] and Indian Dragon (天竺の竜 Tenjiku no Ryū, lit. Dragon of India) from Toho Special Effects Movie Complete Works.[2]

Trivia
- In addition to a prop of the monster's entire body, special effects director Teruyoshi Nakano also constructed a large animatronic of the Dragon's neck, similar to the Cybot Godzilla he employed for The Return of Godzilla.
- A popular rumor is that the Dragon prop was originally constructed for the unmade Toho and Hammer collaboration film Nessie, and reused by Teruyoshi Nakano for Princess from the Moon. However, given that Nessie was cancelled nearly a decade before Princess from the Moon was produced, and that no mention of this is made in any official books regarding the film, this is likely false.
