The bats' sonar repelled the monster, proving Dr. Miya's theory. The next day, the alien directed Obata to light the entrance of a cave on fire in an attempt to kill the bats.

Instead of complying to the agreement, corporations merely developed a technique to mask the noxious fumes that were being poured into the sky. So, after the excessive amounts of pollution and the Gibberellin's hormones, Earth's slugs were mutated into Giant Slugs.

Watchuki People |
Godzilla Episode 12, "The Sub-Zero Terror" |
The Watchuki, sometimes called the Snowmen, were a species of ape-like humanoids living in the Himalayas. Thousands of years ago, humans drove the Watchuki high into the mountains, where they would remain, and become the subject of local superstition. There they discovered a jungle growing in an dormant volcano and used geothermal power to maintain a thriving civilization hidden within the mountain. They mined gems and developed relatively advanced technologies and weapons during their exile, as they kept their large warriors in cryogenic stasis, and prepared for their return to the surface world to wage war on the humans and take back their mountainous lands. It is posited by Dr. Quinn Darian that their xenophobic attitude led to their being forced into the mountains in the first place, but never confirmed.
When the Calico crew came to the Himalayas, they were led into forbidden territory inhabited by the Watchuki, who took them prisoner. Godzilla arrived to rescue them and they sent the Great Watchuka after them. Godzilla defeated their champion, but the battle reawakened the volcano and triggered an eruption. Godzilla slammed a giant stone into the mouth of the volcano to stop the eruption, presumably burning the Great Watchuka and all of the Watchuki to death in the lava. |

Ankylosaurus(アンキロサウルス Ankirosaurusu) |
Godzilla, King of the Monsters |
A new species of Ankylosaurus was discovered by Dr. Mad Oniyama with the assistance of a version of himself who travelled through time from the 28th century. As part of Oniyama's plans to take over the world, the Ankylosaurus's fossilised skeleton was placed on display at a dinosaur expo. With the expo in operation, the two Oniyamas used KIDS to fire a beam into the fossil to revive it, resulting in a living Ankylosaurus. Aware that Godzilla would come to protect Hideo Kaneko and his friends, who were at the Expo, the Oniyamas used KIDS to devolve Godzilla into a Godzillasaurus, and the two ancient reptiles fought. With the Ankylosaurus losing the fight, KIDS was used again to fire a syringe full of DNA into the Ankylosaurus's body, causing it to rapidly grow into a full-sized Anguirus.
