Giant Salamander
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Giant Salamander (大サンショウウオ Ōsanshōuo) is an unmade salamander kaiju from the 1994 Toho film, Orochi, the Eight-Headed Dragon.
Development[edit | edit source]
Concept art of the Giant Salamander was created by Shinji Nishikawa, dated 12/11/93. Two diagrams show that the monster's suit would have been operated by at least two people, and would have been able to sit in an upright position.[1] The Salamander was scrapped due to concerns that two aquatic monsters—it and Kaishin Muba—appearing in the same film would be redundant, according to Nishikawa.[2]
Design[edit | edit source]
Shinji Nishikawa's concept art depicts the monster as a giant version of the real-life Japanese giant salamander (Andrias japonicus), while secondary diagrams incorporate elements from the axolotl.
History[edit | edit source]
