| The '''Giant Swordfish''' is a mutated Swordfish [[kaiju|monster]] created by Hanna-Barbera that first appeared in episode 23 of the 1979 [[Godzilla (Hanna-Barbera series)|Hanna-Barbera series, ''Godzilla'']], titled "[[The Macro-Beasts]]."

| The Giant Swordfish were among several marine animals enlarged to giant size, thanks to recent volcanic eruptions and a mysterious underground substance emerging from Capaldi Island; a relatively young formation which itself was created by the aforementioned geological activity. The Giant Swordfish was seen very briefly along the [[Giant Shark]] and the [[Giant Squid]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The mysterious purple substance that enlarges the Giant Swordfish and all the other Macro-Beasts is likely a direct reference to the titular subterranean chemical from H.G. Wells' novel ''The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth'', which also enlarged any life-form which consumed it.
