Sanda (サンダ) & Gaira (ガイラ)
With their humanoid design, Gaira and Sanda are unique in the world of kaijū cinema. They have distinct personalities, making them far more interesting than your average destructive force of nature.
Manda (マンダ)
The concept of Manda is cool, and there's no other monster in the Toho line-up like him, but to successfully pull off a snake-like dragon is obviously a difficult task, which perhaps explains his lacklustre appearances.
Gezora (ゲゾラ)
Gezora's design is complex, but he is very simple to describe. He is, quite literally, a giant cuttlefish.
Maguma (マグマ)
Maguma is possibly the most gratuitous monster in kaijū cinema history. He was so gratuitous that he didn't even make the cut of the American re-edit of Gorath.
Mothra vs. Godzilla – Japanese re-release poster
This advertisement is far from the usual beautifully rendered information-overload of a typical Godzilla poster. Its almost childlike artwork, reminiscent of the work of Shigeru Mizuki, is as endearing as it is befuddling.
