Cryptocledius (クリプトクレディアス,   Kuriputokurediasu) is a plesiosaur kaiju created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the 1998 Godzilla: The Series episode, Leviathan.

Origins

Cryptocledius were aquatic long-necked reptiles, or plesiosaurs, that went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, in 65,000,000 B.C. However, it seems a number of the Cryptocledius somehow survived extinction.

History

Godzilla: The Series

Leviathan

A Cryptocleidus appeared and attacked H.E.A.T.'s submarine until Godzilla appeared and started to fight it, just as H.E.A.T. discovers a Tachyon ship in the bottom of the ocean.

When H.E.A.T. get out of the Tachyon ship, another Cryptocledius appears. Godzilla tries to evade them and eventually hits a rock formation, causing the two Cryptocledius to be crushed by the rock slide.

Monster Wars Trilogy

the Cryptocledius survived and was spotted swimming towards Site Omega. It attacked H.E.A.T.'s boat and was tricked into fighting the Giant Bat. After the fight was broken up, both mutations traveled to Site Omega. Once the aliens began their assault, Cryptocledius attacked Hong Kong. When the alien control was severed, Cryptocledius was killed by the Tachyon ship's beams.
