Exactly, thank you. You are right, he can be both, but I think he's a dragon

I think dragons and sea serpents get blurred together in mythology sometimes.

But yes, the original Manda & the FW Manda resemble Chinese dragons.

Manda was frozen at the end of Atragon, right? I always assumed the horns were lost because of that, either from frostbite or something, or they were broken off due to careless handling when he was being transported to Monsterland.

And as for the whole dragon/sea serpent debate, I guess I'm on the fence; I've always considered him an aquatic dragon.

I subscribe to the theory of the horns being removed from the suit because of condition. The suit hadn't been in use for a few years.

Chinese dragons are associated with water and air. It was said they could bring rain or cause rivers to flood.

I'm just saying there is no reason to argue whether Manda is a dragon or not, it doesn't matter, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Of course, except that your opinion is flawed, because it literally makes no sense whatsoever.

If you don't think it makes sense, then why are YOU worried about it?

You're posting in a public forum, and continually making an ass out of yourself because you either A) don't bother to think anything through before you hit the submit button, or B) You're incredibly stupid. Take your pick.

You've also received several warnings for spam, and yet you continually make stupid topics with questions that could easily be asked elsewhere. 3 warnings, and you get a one week ban. Something to keep in mind.

I don't think they're stupid, if anything I'm making an ass out of myself by arguing with you. :roll:

So if you don't like my threads, then fine, it's your opinion. And I thank you for giving me that, I may not agree, but oh well...

Of course you don't think they're stupid, because you made them. Derp.

I think I speak for most people, when I say that nobody likes your topics.

Thank you for the comment, but I think some of them are ok, not all of them are great, but I think the King Ghidorah On Loan?, Who Laid Minya's Egg? Godzilla's Suicide, and my King Caesar Controlled By Xillians is ok.

I like a few of your threads

Minya's Egg is the only one I think you really gave much thought to before you posted it. The rest are extremely silly, and not worthy of having entire topics devoted to them. Just saying.

Is this official? I always assumed he was just transported to Monster Island after being frozen, after all we don't see him get shattered like in FW. But if it's a new one then this is the first I've heard of it.

No, it's not.

Anguirus, Baragon, and Gorosaurus also all magically came back from the dead in DAM , and the writers didn't really care about that sort of continuity. The film was meant to be the ultimate send off for the Godzilla series, and I don't think they were concerned if any of those monsters were considered dead in what was already an extremely loose canon.

I really wouldn't know. I haven't seen Atragon.
