Gigan Rex (ガイガンレクス Gaigan Rekusu) is an alien kaiju who first appeared in the 2022 3D-animated Godzilla short film Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex.
Name
Gigan's Japanese name, Gaigan, was derived from a nickname for actor Yujiro Ishihara, "nice guy" (ナイスガイ naisu gai), combined with the word for goose, gan (雁); both were influences on Gigan's design in his visor and body shape, respectively.[1] The name may have also been chosen as a contraction of "geiger counter," spelled in Japanese as ガイガーカウンター (gaigā kauntā).[2] Rex is the Latin word for "king", also evoking the theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex.
Design
Gigan Rex appears largely similar to the character's design in the short film, only with a more detailed chest and with coloring alteration; his skin is red instead of green, a dark grey over some parts of his body instead of golden and pink on his visor instead of red. It lacks the buzzsaw of its subordinates, replacing it with a giant eye hidden in its chest.

Abilities
Rex Blades
Gigan Rex's forelimbs sport a pair of large metal hooks, which he can use to batter and stab opponents. These digits can extend into whip-like saws when needed.
Chest eye
The eye inside of Gigan Rex's chest is capable of firing a powerful laser. This beam can be powered up by absorbing the life force of lesser Gigans, becoming red and more focused.
Tail spike
Gigan Rex's tail spike can split in two. Although it was only used as an anchor to stabilize its movement in the wake of an attack, it can presumably be used as a weapon.
