I suspect you probably had to have seen the movie, not the game. In one
of those Japanese monster movies, didn't some monster battle Godzilla?
Sorry, don't know which one (if any) it was... however (pulling handy
trivia reference from shelf) I *can* give you some possibilities:
Doroga (gigantic jellyfish)
Ebirah (gigantic shrimp)
Gammera (huge turtle)
Gappa (large lizard)
Godzilla (164-foot high Tyrannosaurus Rex)
Goke (vampire)
Gorath (huge reptile)
Gyaos (fox)
Hedorah (smog monster)
Mantanga (spreading fungus)
Mothra (giant moth)
Rodan (giant pterodactyl)
Varan (large bat)
Viras (giant squid)
