Appearance[]
Varan's appearance seems near identical to the original Varan's being a gigantic monstrous lizard with many curved spikes. He keeps the membranes on his limbs that allowed the original Varan to fly, although Varan does not show this ability. The sclera on his eyes is orange, without pupils.
Personality[]
Varan seems to have little personality. Varan remains quiet during his battle against Godzilla, focusing only on the battle. However, Varan flees after Godzilla unleashes his atomic breath, showing his fear.
History[]
