| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Giant Beetle (巨大カブトムシ Kyodai Kabutomushi) is a beetle monster created by Hanna-Barbera that appeared in the 1979 Godzilla episode, "The Valley of the Giants."
Design
The Giant Beetle shares a strong resemblance to the Atlas beetle. Its elytra and legs are pure black, while its underside is tan. Its face is another shade of tan closer to orange and possesses two small horns on the sides of its head and one larger serrated horn on its nose. It has two large black eyes, or two large eye sockets with beady white eyes within. It has a vertebrate-like jaw with two prominent white fangs and a small spike on its chin protruding from under its lip.
