Section removed
''Despite his tenacity, Anguirus is not considered to be a particularly strong or intelligent monster due to the fact that he doesn't have any edge in battle or that he usually unfortunatly battles mutated creatures or mecha's and he is an normal dinosaur and is generally overwhelmed by superpowered monsters. He has never won a fight without the assistance of Godzilla, and by the 1970s he essentially played the role of a punching bag for the latest Godzilla foe to beat up on, highlighting the threat.''

I removed all of that because it's essentially fancruft and there's no backing for it whatsoever.--Anguirus111 02:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

species
The species looks like the oldest description of Megalosaurus combined with a giant anklyosaur. -Walkingwith08 (talk) 19:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Anguirus has a long neck, and horns on the back of his head and on his nose, similar to certain pachycephalosaurs.

Unsourced material
The following is unsourced information:


 * Anguirus was to have made an appearance in the film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Originally, the first draft of the film was to be called Godzilla, Anguirus, and Varan: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack as one of the three guardian Yamato monsters. The other two monsters were Varan and Baragon. However, Varan and Anguirus were seen as less popular by the executives at Toho and were replaced with the more profitable King Ghidorah and Mothra. In the end, the only of the original three monsters to be included in the film was Baragon. There was much confusion among American fans as to why Baragon was chosen over Anguirus. Many American fans stressed that Anguirus was more popular than Baragon; however, in Japan, Baragon is more popular, making appearances in Frankenstein vs. Baragon and the Japanese anime series Dragon Ball.


 * In the movie Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., a giant sea turtle dubbed Kamoebas is found dead, having washed onto to a beach with three huge lacerations inflicted in its neck. At first, it was going to be Anguirus, but the producer Shogo Tomiyama, disagreed about using him in this way, possibly because it would have generated quite a negative fan reaction.


 * Anguirus' role in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla was originally written for Baragon, but the Baragon suit was in such bad condition that the studio chose to use Anguirus as a replacement to fill the role. This could also be interpreted as the reason we see Anguirus gain burrowing and leaping abilities, traits that are known for Baragon.


 * Anguirus was included in early script drafts of Godzilla 2000.


 * At the time that Godzilla: Final Wars was in production, it was rumored that the Anguirus suit used in Godzilla: Final Wars was actually a modified version of Dagahra (or Dagarla), the seagoing monster with which Mothra did battle in Rebirth of Mothra II. This rumor was shown to be false: all of the suits and props used in the film were original with the exception of Mothra, a reused prop from Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S..  The rumor may have been influenced by the fact that Dagarah was nearly one of the many enemy monsters to appear in Final Wars. The rumor was not baseless, however, as the Final Wars Anguirus and Dagahra are similar in appearance, particularly in head design. In addition Anguirus was originally considered for one of the Rebirth of Mothra films, further adding to the string of coincidence.


 * In Gosei Sentai Dairanger, the Super Mythical Chi Beast Daimugen makes a sound similar to the roar Anguirus makes. Anguirus' roar is used in the Capcom video game The King of Dragons as well as Fei Long's stage in Super Street Fighter II. The roar of the boss creatures Ridley and Draygon in Super Metroid also sounds very similar to Anguirus. Anguirus's roar can be heard while fighting Leviathan in her Stingray Mech during the Temple stage of Mega Man Zero 2. In Megaman ZX Advent, the roar emitted when you shoot the Freezing Dragon shot is an almost exact recording of Anguirus's roar.


 * The Pokémon Rhyhorn, Rhydon and Rhyperior may have been inspired by Anguirus, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 05:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Along with the Godzilla family, Anguirus has been shown to speak and converse with others as shown in Godzilla vs. Gigan and Godzilla: Final Wars

If it's a negative fan reaction they didn't want, why don't they stop making Anguirus lose and possibly give him a solo win? They simply don't want to add too many loses to Anguirus. Anguirus3DS (talk) 22:39, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

I notice that someone wrote that Baragon had a role in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, but that is not true, and I don't think that anyone even considered leaking that information. Thank you for your ideas on that, but I think you are referring to Gorosaurus' role in Destroy All Monsters. Thank you for your cooperation with me, I'll be seeing you around (here). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anguirus3DS (talk • contribs) 00:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Real Life Info and Section Needed
Can anyone add a section listing the various stunt performers who played that character? The information, if available, is quite relevant. Any technical information bout the suit and effects involved might also be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.98.13 (talk) 02:05, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
