History

Godzilla: The Series

D.O.A.

El Gusano Gigante fed off a rare poisonous plant in Mexico which enabled it to grow to incomprehensible worm proportions. It proceeded to ravage the local farmland. It was then chased by H.E.A.T., and eventually the Mexican Military decided to use a chemical weapon against it. The weapon has the opposite effect of what was desired, as it powers up El Gusano Gigante even further. El Gusano was later lured onto a cliff where the humans discovered its weakness to fire. In its weakened state, El Gusano Gigante was subjected to a sustained blast of Godzilla's atomic ray, and shrank to normal size.

Monster Wars: Part 1

El Gusano Gigante was sent by the Tachyons to destroy Moscow.

Monster Wars: Part 3

After escaping the Tachyon mind control, El Gusano Gigante attempted to fight back against the Tachyons, but was injured for its efforts. After the Tachyon threat was neutralized, El Gusano Gigante was taken by Anthony Hicks to live on Monster Island.
