Sea Baragon appears to be a fusion of the two [[Toho]] [[kaiju]], [[Baragon]] and [[Maguma]], with a large, narwhal-like horn extending out from the center of its forehead along with slanted walrus-like tusks. Sea Baragon lacks the large, floppy crescent-shaped ears of his earthly counterpart, and also has a slightly stubbier face. It has no special attacks or beam weapons, and relies entirely on melee moves that involve its horn. From his illustrations in the manga, he appears to have areas of lighter skin. Similar to a shark in real life, this may be so that Sea Baragon's back is camouflaged into the ocean's colors, and so he is harder to see from above, whereas his belly blends in to the sun's rays entering the water, in a technique called [[wikipedia:Countershading|countershading]].

History

Godzilla, King of the Monsters

Sea Baragon was manufactured from the body tissue of the Baragon that was killed by Frankenstein's monster by the mad Doctor Oniyama. The monster resided in the waters of Izu Oshima where he began attacking ships. After menacing Miko Hideo and his friends, Sea Baragon was confronted by Godzilla, and clambered ashore to fight the King of The Monsters. The two kaiju exchanged blows until Sea Baragon managed to gore Godzilla's chest with his horn. Godzilla, enraged by this attack, snapped Sea Baragon's horn in half. Even without his horn, Sea Baragon wouldn't give up, and leapt through the air towards Godzilla, but Godzilla grabbed him by the tail. Godzilla swung Sea Baragon around and threw him away. Before Sea Baragon could react, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the creature, disintegrating him instantly. After the dust settled, Godzilla inspected the bloodied piece of Sea Baragon's horn, the only piece of him left. Godzilla then dropped the weapon and continued on his way.
