- This article covers the Anguirus that appeared in Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Godzilla and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth. The Anguirus incarnations featured in IDW’s various other miniseries and media are not covered in this article.
Anguirus is a giant monster who first appeared in IDW Publishing's comic book series Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters. The first incarnation of Anguirus to be featured in an ongoing American comic book series, this Anguirus was also featured IDW's two follow-up series, Godzilla and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.
A prehistoric monster that suddenly awakened in Sabinas, Mexico in 2011, Anguirus rampaged along the US-Mexico border before suddenly traveling northwest. It was soon determined that Anguirus was on an intercept trajectory with Godzilla. The two finally met in Los Angeles, where Anguirus suffered a gruesomely brutal defeat to the powerful monster. (TBA)
Name
Design
In Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Anguirus’s design appears to be a combination of the Godzilla Raids Again and Godzilla Final Wars designs. He seems to bare the former’s head but with straighter horns and two large, fang-like tusks sticking downwards at an angle from the sides of his upper row of teeth close to the front of his mouth. The rest of his being is identical to that of the latter, though his skin has a flaky, somewhat rock-like texture, especially on his forelimbs. His general color is warm gray, switching between a greener variation in some panels and a browner variation in others. His protrusions are dull tan in color and his teeth are bone white. Like Godzilla, his eyes are usually depicted as white, pupil-less eyes, though they appear black in close ups of his face.
In Godzilla, Anguirus appears identical to the Showa design but with dull yellow, sometimes very dark brown, eyes and cool grey skin with a texture reminiscent of that of real-life Elephants.
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Anguirus is completely brown and has gold eyes. He possesses large, round eyebrow ridges, making his face more expressive. His protrusions, teeth now included, are all a saturated bone-white. His skin bares an ideal reptilian texture. Aside from the previously mentioned, Anguirus’ design in this series is identical to the Showa design.
Origins
It is inferred in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth that like most of the other monsters, Anguirus is a giant prehistoric reptile that has lived for millions of years. On a mural on Infant Island, Anguirus is one of the monsters affiliated with the element of earth.

Abilities
Physical abilities
Anguirus is capable of curling himself into a ball either to travel on-ground more swiftly or as a means of inflicting heavy damage to his enemies. Though he doesn’t match up to the likes of Godzilla, he is a strong and resilient monster capable of standing his ground. He can perform incredible leaps that allow him to pounce at an opponent, first attempted in his fight with Godzilla in Los Angeles.
In Godzilla, Anguirus, alongside Rodan, stood his ground against the evil extraterrestrial cyborg monster, Gigan. He successfully rammed Gigan into a building while curled up as a ball.
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Anguirus temporarily stood his ground against Kiryu. Also, he was able to fight off a group of the Cryogs’ Mechagodzillas with little to no trouble.
Durability
Anguirus is incredibly durable and can take attacks even from Kaiju far more powerful than himself. Though he ultimately lost to Godzilla in Los Angeles, in addition to suffering critical injuries, Anguirus surviving Godzilla’s brute strength is a testament to his durability.
Carapace
The main source of Anguirus’ impressive durability is his Ankylosaurid-like Carapace, which is covered in sharp spikes. This carapace protected Anguirus’s life in his fight against Godzilla in Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters in spite of the Monster King’s tremendous strength and power.
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Anguirus allowed Godzilla to use him as flail on Mecha-King Ghidorah, who suffered tremendous damage courtesy of Anguirus’ carapace.
Burrowing
Anguirus is capable of burrowing through solid earth, making his first appearance in Sabinas, Mexico take the form of him bursting from the ground.
Radioactive Emissions
In Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Anguirus’ mere presence caused a radioactive fallout along the US-Mexico border that killed off herds of domesticated cattle.
Weaknesses
In Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Anguirus was brutally beaten by Godzilla to the point of being too weak to move and heavily bleeding from his nose. Also, Anguirus suffered from the effects of the gas that was intended to kill him prior to standing on his hind legs.
In Godzilla, Anguirus was one of the monsters affected by the Headache Beam. Later on, Gigan managed to pierce his carapace with his hook forelimbs. Anguirus was eventually taken out of the fight and remained motionless buried in rubble until some time after Gigan and his associates’ defeat.
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Anguirus was eventually subdued and transported by Mechagodzilla.
