Titanosaurus

Titanosaurus is an aquatic dinosaur monster and an antagonist from Terror of Mechagodzilla.

History
Titanosaurus was an enormous ocean dwelling dinosaur that lived in seclusion in the Pacific Ocean, until it was take control of by the mad scientists, Shinji Mafune. After he became obsessed with studying the brain waves of marine life, Mafune lost his academic credentials and was cast out of the scientific community shunned by his fellow biologists. With help from the aliens of Black Hole Panet 3, Mafune took control of Titanosaurus after it had attacked a submarine that was investigating the remains of the original Mechagodzilla, transforming the normally peaceful dinosaur into a vicious monster. Mafune then reconstructed Mechagodzilla, while Titanosaurus began attacking Tokyo. Godzilla went to engage the aquatic dinosaur, but it proved to be a highly challenging opponent. Things only got worse when Mechagodzilla arrived and joined forces with Titanosaurus. The INTERPOL Agency realized that Titanosaurus had a weakness, supersonic waves. After Katsura, Mafune's daughter who was in control of Mechagodzilla, allowed herself to die, the robotic titan was left without control. Godzilla twisted its head off and eventually destroyed it with a blast of atomic fire. Titanosaurus was blasted with several supersonic waves and eventually defeated by blasts of atomic fire from Godzilla.

Abilities
Titanosaurus possesses great strength due to its enormous size and has one unique power thanks to the large fin on the end of its tail, which it can use to generate powerful gusts of wind and whirlpools when in the water. In Godzilla: Unleashed, Titanosaurus could fire a powerful sonic beam, which is ironic considering this is what lead to its defeat in the movie, though this may explain why they are his one weakness. Outside sonic waves disrupt the ones Titanosaurus uses to navigate in deep sea environments.

Trivia

 * The Titanosaurus was an actual dinosaur species though the monster didn't have any relation to the dinosaur, which was a land-dwelling sauropod.


 * Titanosaurus is not technically an evil monster, since it was being controlled to do the things it did. Characters in the film often state that it possessed a calm and peaceful nature and the only reason it joined the Mutant faction in Godzilla: Unleashed was to stop the GDF from attacking it.


 * Titanosaurus was originally going to be formed from two monsters combining into one called the Titans, but the budget only allowed the Titanosaurus costume to be made.


 * Most fans often joke that its roar sounds like a mutated or drowning elephant.


 * Titanosaurus is one of the few monsters in Godzilla movies to ever be brought down humans.


 * In Godzilla: Final Wars, a boy is seen playing with toys of some of Godzilla's foes, one of which was Titanosaurus.


 * Its colorful, dinosaur based design is unique for kaiju of the 1970's, most of which were space monsters with strange and illogical designs and was a throw back to the successful dinosaur based monsters of the previous decade, such as Varan, Gorosaurus, and Baragon.


 * Titanosaurus is one of the monsters of the Showa-series to only appear in one movie. Others include Gabara and Megalon.


 * It is unknown if Titanosaurus is actually dead since it only fell off a cliff into the sea, so it is possible it recovered and swam away.
