Not much is known of the role the Anguirus Hound played in this script, other than the fact that it would have been a subspecies of Anguirus.

Trivia

  • The Anguirus Hound possesses a split carapace, similar to the early designs for the original Anguirus suit from Godzilla Raids Again.
  • The concept of Barubaroi killing and imitating the Anguirus Hound's form may have been inspired by the shapeshifting alien creature from John Carpenter's film The Thing.
