Megalon (メガロ?, Megaro) es un kaiju insectoide gigante createdo por Toho que apareció por primera in the 1973 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Megalon.


Apariencia[]

Megalon superficialmente se parece a un cruce entre una cucaracha y un escarabajo rinoceronte, aunque en posición vertical. El traje de Megalon es colorido, combinando la plata y gris con un caparazón y alas color naranja y negro. Las extremidades anteriores de Megalon terminan con dos apéndices, la obtención de detalles como afiladas, que no se ven a ser prensil, siempre en movimiento en sintonía con los brazos del monstruo.

Historia[]

Showa Series[]

Godzilla vs. Megalon[]

Megalon es el dios de los Seatopians, y él era su manera de vengarse de los humanos que estaban dañando su mundo con pruebas nucleares. Enviaron a Megalon para destruir a los seres humanos y se envía el capturado Jet Jaguar para guiar al monstruo en su alboroto a través de Japón. El pueblo de Japón se rebelo y atacaron a la bestia, sin ningún resultado. La Ayuda llegó cuando Goro Ibuki, el científico que creó Jet Jaguar, llegó y se liberó el robot desde el control de los Seatopians. Envió Jet Jaguar a Monster Island para encontrar a Godzilla. En el tiempo que Jet Jaguar se había ido, Megalon estaba perdido y confundido. Poco después, Godzilla llegó a luchar contra el monstruo, y casi lo derrotó. Megalon estaba seguro de ser derrotado, pero los Seatopians contactaron a los extraterrestres Espacio Hunter Nebulosa M para enviar Gigan. Gigan llegó y ayudó para intentar derrotar a Godzilla, pero Jet Jaguar sacó uno de sus propios trucos. El robot programado en sí para crecer al tamaño de Megalon, por lo que podría ayudar a Godzilla derrotar a los monstruos. Después de una pelea preocupante, Megalon y Gigan fueron derrotados, y Gigan se retiro al espacio. Megalon se hundió rápidamente bajo tierra, y de nuevo a Seatopia.

Video Game Appearances[]

Even though Megalon only appeared in one film, he remains a popular character, and has appeared in several computer and video games based upon the Godzilla franchise, including Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Godzilla: Domination, Godzilla: Save the Earth, and Godzilla: Unleashed.

Godzilla: Domination![]

In Domination!, Megalon has the power to do a leech probe, in which Megalon grabs on to his opponent and bites them four times, each time hurting the opponent and healing Megalon. This move can only be done if Megalon is next to a enemy. He also has the ability to unleash three blasts of energy from his horn, which will quickly fly around him before slamming into the ground. In the same game, Megalon's napalm bombs are altered to resemble real bombs or naval mines.

Godzilla: Save the Earth[]

Megalon has the ability to execute an energy punch and create a damaging arc of energy. As a Rage Attack, Megalon can create a Magnetic Vortex, in which Megalon shuffles his wings and all the monsters get drawn close to him. When one is close he releases a mini-pulse of energy, dealing immense damage.

Godzilla: Unleashed[]

Megalon in Godzilla: Unleashed

Height: 88 meters
Weight: 64,000 tons

"Megalon is a guardian monster of the Seatopians, who live beneath the earth's oceans. Having no special love for human beings, he has once again aligned himself with the alien invaders in hope of eliminating the human population once and for all. Megalon is a very well-rounded combatant, with decent melee, grappling, and ranged capabilities. He has a special affinity for electricity, allowing him to employ lightning and EMP attacks without danger to himself. Megalon's hands are high-speed drills, which allow him to burrow underground or simply gore his opponents in hand-to-hand combat."

Being an alien Megalon has aligned himself with the Vortaak in their quest to take over the world. Like his film and Save the Earth counterparts he has the same abilities with the exception of flight like his film counterpart and his energy punch from Godzilla: Save the Earth.

Comics[]

Cinema Shares' Godzilla vs. Megalon Adaptation[]

Megalon in the promo comic

Megalon in Cinema Shares' Godzilla vs. Megalon comic adaptation

In the American promotional comic produced by Cinema Shares for Godzilla vs. Megalon, Megalon is depicted as not being alien in origin, but rather appearing from beneath the Earth during an undersea eruption, and coming to attack cities to satisfy his "Energy Hunger." He is killed brutally by Godzilla after having the back of his spine bitten into.


Kodansya's Godzilla Manga[]

Megalon returns from underground in this manga, although it is never stated whether he was under the control of the Seatopians or not. He emerges from underground while Godzilla is fighting Biollante Neo and attacks using his drills, ripping into Godzilla's chest. He accidentally kills Biollante Neo with his lightning beam, and is defeated when Godzilla swipes the top of his horn off, and burns him to death with his Atomic Breath.


Godzilla: The Half-Century War[]

Godzilla: Rulers of Earth[]

RULERS OF EARTH Issue 9

Megalon appears in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth issue #9 where he fought the monster, King Caesar in a flash back explaining the monsters origins. Megalon would fall into the Earth's crust with King Caesar when an alien ship crash landed into the ocean near them as they fought. Megalon's image would be later seen in the mural on Infant Island, under the "fire monsters. "

Sightings[]

  • Megalon and Godzilla are seen in a magazine in Friday the 13th Part 3.

Roar[]

Like Baragon and Gorosaurus, Megalon's roar is an edited pitch of Varan's roar, who's roar was originally from Godzilla at the end of the original Godzilla film.

In Other Languages[]

  • Russian: Мегалон

Trivia[]

  • Megalon might be one of the least intelligent Toho monsters. This is proven by the fact that the creature is easily manipulated by external stimuli. For example, Megalon followed Jet Jaguar simply because he was curious, and he is also very temperamental, as seen when he goes into shock when he loses sight of Jet Jaguar. His battle tactics also seem to be lacking, as he never once utilizes his lightning horn beam against Godzilla nor Jet Jaguar. Additionally, he seems to enjoy charging at both his enemies headfirst, although all said enemies had to do was simply step out of the way to avoid him. Without Gigan by his side, Megalon would probably not have lasted long during the film's climactic last battle.
