Anguirus

Anguirus is a giant Ankylosaurus-like monster. Though he and Godzilla initially met as enemies, he has since become Godzilla's most trusted ally.

Name
Anguirus' Japanese name, Angirasu (アンギラス), comes from the Japanese spelling of the name of the dinosaur genus Ankylosaurus (アンキロサウルス, Ankirosaurusu), upon which the monster's design is based.

Design
Anguirus has scaly brown skin and a spiky carapace on his back. He has a crown of spikes on the top of his head. He normally moves on all fours, though at times he has stood upright on two legs.

Personality
Anguirus is incredibly fierce and brave. Despite being one of the most underpowered monsters in the comics, Anguirus frequently takes on opponents much larger and more powerful than himself, such as Mechagodzilla. Anguirus keeps fighting no matter how outmatched he is and will only retreat or give up when death is certain. Despite initially meeting Godzilla as his enemy, Anguirus has since shown strong loyalty to him and will come to Godzilla's aid when needed.

Abilities
Anguirus is exceptionally durable thanks to his armored spiky hide. He uses his spiked carapace in battle to stab opponents, and can also swing his spike-covered tail as a weapon. He sometimes prefers to bite down on opponnets with his sharp teeth. His most unique ability is his Anguirus Ball attack, in which he curls into a ball and rolls very quickly at foes. Anguirus is quite agile as well, demonstrating the ability to leap at foes.

Godzilla
Godzilla is Anguirus' closest ally. The two initially met as enemies and clashed in Los Angeles, with Godzilla winning their fight. Since then, Anguirus has fought frequently by Godzilla's side, forming a bond of loyalty to him. It was Anguirus who sought out Godzilla after the latter had disappeared following the underwater battle at the Devonian capital city. The two are capable of coordinating attacks together, as seen when Godzilla used Anguirus as a flail against Mecha-King Ghidorah.
