Template:Ktab Template:TV Kaiju Infobox Crustaceous Rex (クラスタシオスレックス,   Kurasutashiosu Rekkusu) is a crustacean mutation Template:Kaiju created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the 1998 Godzilla: The Series episode, New Family: Part 2.

History

Godzilla: The Series

New Family: Part 2

Crustaceous Rex fed on the Jamaica population of Mutant Giant Squids until they were destroyed by Godzilla. It then came to the surface in search of food. Crustaceous Rex proceeded to a nearby town, where Monique Dupre used explosives and flares to try and ward it off. Unfazed, C-Rex proceeded 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 the next tar patch, H.E.A.T. used it as a lure to bring it to Godzilla. Godzilla then defeated C-Rex using his atomic breath and forced the creature to retreat.

Monster Wars: Part 1

Crustaceous Rex was seen again on what would become Monster Island, under control of the Tachyons.

Monster Wars: Part 2

Crustaceous Rex was sent by the Tachyons to destroy London.

Monster Wars: Part 3

Due to the efforts of H.E.A.T., Crustaceous Rex was freed from the Tachyons' control and attempted to fight back against his alien overlords. He was quickly defeated due to the aliens' superior technology, but survived only to be captured by the United States military following the Tachyons' defeat. C-Rex was then relocated to Monster Island to be studied.

S.C.A.L.E.

While living on Monster Island, C-Rex and the other mutations were outfitted with inhibitor collars to keep them from hurting one another. During a raid from the terrorist organization S.C.A.L.E., Crustaceous Rex's enclosure was opened, and his collar was disabled. He began to run amok and fight with the other mutations, and was eventually defeated by Skeetera. After the threats of Skeetera and S.C.A.L.E. were removed, Crustaceous Rex and the other mutations were safely returned to their enclosures.

Future Shock

In an alternate future where the D.R.A.G.M.A.s overran the world, Crustaceous Rex and all of the other mutations on Monster Island were released by Anthony Hicks to fight them off, but were all slain. However, thanks to the efforts of H.E.A.T., this future was avoided.

Abilities

  • Crustaceous Rex has tentacles on its mouth and chest for constricting and immobilizing opponents.
