Monster Discussion #23: Gorosaurus

[Tyler]

What's with the stinger/spike at the end of his tail? Anguirus and Gigan have them too.

[Rody]

Well, yeah, I know; it's just that's what he always reminded me of.

ive noticed that too.not so much on Anguirus,but definitely Gigan,especially on the shots of him when he takes off from the ground

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Gorosaurus is a Gorosaurus.

(Primitive) Tautology!

[therealmccoy]

It's a GodzillaKingKoopaFireDragonis bullshiticus. Don't you guys know anything about animals?

Spam, maybe; I just felt the need to put that here for some reason.


Anyway, an enjoyable monster. T&C is my favorite style of fighting, and Gorosaurus epitomizes that. And not a bad design, either.

I always found those things weird; it was like they were trying to allow them to have more weapons at their disposal, but they never used them.

He made King skreeonk Ghidorah is bitch! Seriously, Godzilla couldn't even do that. It just adds to his awesomeness.

Godzilla decked King Ghidorah in Monster Zero when they fought initially on Planet X. Godzilla jumped at KG and flattened him.

Gorosaurus broke Ghidorah's back with one attack. No other monster has done that much damage to Showa Ghiddy in one strike. Personally I think a well placed KK could end just about any Showa or Millennium kaiju.

It's probably just a look the suit designers were fond of, just like how multiple heisei monster had those "mandible teeth".

I could be wrong, but I don't think we have any evidence that King Ghidorah's back was literally broken. He didn't get back up, but injuries plus the onslaught of multiple monsters could well have had a lot to do with that.

[Living Corpse]

Ghidorah was stunned that's all. But, that's all the others needed in order to keep him on the ground long enough to FINISH HIM!!

Also Ghidorah almost took Gorosarus out earlier with his Gravity Beams, a single indirect one sent him on his knees so Ghidorah got some direct ones in he probably would have killed him since he seems like the type that doesn't have much Resistance to energy weapons. I'm by no means calling him pathetic however, since he was a very important key fighter in that his kick allowed the others to kill Ghidorah before he could get away like he always did before.

He also demonstrated great strength before that kick by being the only monster to actually drag KG down to the ground. Hell, even Godzilla had to hit King Ghidorah with his tail a couple of times to keep him from flying off again, not to mention use his breath on the neck that Anguirus had previously chomped on.

[Living Corpse]

Hmm, I remember Godzilla managed to burn some of the scales with several point blank blasts, which was pretty cool since long range blasting in IOAM had no effect and Ghidorah just walked through it, but who was responsible for the bleeding neck? I forgot was it Godzilla or Anggy who made one of the side necks bleed?

That was Angilas, though Godzilla did bite Ghidora's back a little bit and made that bleed too.

Now I remember. Thanks man.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I'll say it again here.

I take Goro's reaction to the Gravity beam (which COMPLETELY missed him) as a "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" moment. Keep in mind, he'd probably never encountered a beam weapon prior to that. He also dropped to a knee for all of half a second before standing back up and coming back completely unfazed. And again, the beam missed him entirely. Taking those things into consideration, which sounds like the more plausible explanation to you:

1) Gorosaurus is so weak against beam attacks that one that didn't even hit him hurt him so badly that it nearly dropped him but despite that he completely recovered from it almost instantly.
2) Gorosaurus, having never encountered a beam weapon before, was startled when one was shot at his feet and stumbled slightly, but he got over it and continued fighting.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with option 2.

[THE GODZILLA]

Clearly Gorosaurus needs to invest in Special Defense EV's.

Gorosaurus is definitely my favorite monster. I like him for being such a random monster. You look at him and think he's just a generic giant dinosaur. Then he kicks you right in the goddamn face and you're eating your words. It's such a simple, yet unique take on a retrosaur idea.

i agree,cuz if u look back at KKE,the only thing he encounters is a pissed off ape.i honestly think he was startled at the gravity beams,got over it,and charged in like ur typical pissed-off theropod

[Patrick Alan]

I loved Gorosaurus, he's on my top 10 favorite Godzilla Kaiju. For some reason I just love how he looks. And he was the first monster to bring King Ghgidorah down in Destroy All Monstes, now that's cool!
