Crustaceous Rex proceeded to a nearby town, where Monique Dupre used explosives and flares to try and ward it off. un-phased, the C-Rex proceded to a nearby highway and began to devour the newly poured tar on a highway as an alternative to the tar naturally produced by the Mutant Giant Squids. When it approached then next tar patch, H.E.A.T. used it as a lure to bring it to Godzilla. Godzilla defeated Crustaceous Rex with his Atomic Breath.
