Dodzilla (ドジラ,   Dojira)		Gamera: Super Monster (1980)	After touching down in Japan on Giruge's orders to destroy the Earth, the rampaging Gamera knocked over a sign advertising a monster movie entitled Farewell Dodzilla (さらばドジラ) which was having a roadshow theatrical release at the Izumi Hall in Shinjuku. Gallery	Dodzilla is a clear reference to Godzilla, in both the monster's name and appearance. Dodzilla specifically resembles the MegaroGoji suit, but with less pronounced dorsal plates. The film title "Farewell Dodzilla" may be in reference to Godzilla's hiatus from 1975 onward; the first Heisei era film, The Return of Godzilla would not premiere until 1984, four years after the release of Gamera: Super Monster.
