Not much is known about the role it would have had or how long it would have lasted in its debut film, but early script ideas for the film involved a normal bird mutating into the monster from the radiation that leaked off of the new [[Mechani-Kong]]. It was meant to fight Godzilla in Las Vegas.
The monster was created after being exposed to a radiation leak that occurred during the construction of [[Mechani-Kong]], and was promptly trapped as part of a military coverup. It would later fight Godzilla in Las Vegas, and be part of a three-way battle against both Godzilla and Mechani-Kong.
