History: A second Anguirus appeared on Solgell Island in 1971, where he became a close friend to Godzilla. Observation posts set up on the island recorded this Anguirus leaving after a strange alien tape was played, though Anguirus was repelled from landing by JSDF forces. He came back, this time accompanied by Godzilla, when the tapes started playing again, arriving to find and battle the space monsters King Ghidorah and Gigan. Anguirus suffered a wound to the face, but ultimately the two Earth monsters prevailed. Late in that same year, aftershocks from an underground nuclear weapons test devastated Solgell Island, and opened a fissure into which Anguirus fell. Anguirus wouldn't emerge again until 1974, when it came to attack what it knew to be a fake Godzilla. However, Anguirus' jaw was broken in the battle and it retreated. Twenty years later, Anguirus was on the new Monsterland and fully healed, before the Kilaakian invasion. The Kilaakians controlled Anguirus and used him to defend their base in Izu from the JSDF. Later, once control was broken, Anguirus joined the other Earth monsters in defeating King Ghidorah once and for all.
