 Help Identifying a Kaiju Greetings,
At the beginning of Godzilla: Final Wars there is a smattering of cutscenes from old Kaiju flicks.
One of these seconds long shots has what looks like a upright giant squid standing on his tentacles.
I have a dim memory form an old book about B-Movies (name and author unknonw) that showed the same shot, and referred to this creature as Gonga the Atomic squid. I hae a feeling he was a monster in Destroy All Monsters, but I am not sure.
Who is this monster, and what movie can I see him in?

Re: Help Identifying a Kaiju Yeah, that's Yog, Monster from Space, alright. The DVD edition uses the alternate title Space Amoeba, though. As for the cuttlekaiju itself, its name is Gezora.

Re: Help Identifying a Kaiju He's also one of the two first bosses in the old NES Godzilla game (the other being Moguera). Every time I watch Final Wars lately it occurs to me that a pop-up-video style annotation guide would work well for the whole film.

Re: Help Identifying a Kaiju Thanks guys.

Re: Help Identifying a Kaiju She's lying. You should still see it, but you will regret it.
