Aquatic Dinosaur
TITANOSAURUS

Height: 65 meters
Mass: 27,000 metric tons
Type 1 - Beast Class

Bio:
For all intents and purposes, Mecha-Godzilla was the perfect fighting machine....but only against one monster. The combined efforts of Godzilla and King Caesar had defeated the magnificent mechanical construct, so it made logical sense to even the playing field, as the Simeon reinforcements saw fit. Of course, the space apes were not terribly adept at mind-control technology, and their warlike nature prevented any alliances with other races in the solar system. So, they sought out a disgruntled scientist, Dr. Mafune, and after saving his daughter Katsura's life through advanced robotics (as was the race's forte';), he swore loyalty to them.
Dr. Mafune was the best ally availible for the Simeons because he had achieved that which, to that day, no human had achieved yet: control over a daikaiju. Thus, Dr. Mafune brought to the world TITANOSAURUS, a collosal spinosaurid from the Sub Oceanic Biosphere, and the only supposed surviving member of its species.
Titanosaurus is controlled largely through hyper-sonic sound waves, of which are only perceptible to certain species of animals. It was the right combination of these soundwaves that allowed Mafune's computer to override Titanosaurus's higher brain functions and turn him into a ferociously aggressive fighter.
The rebuilt MechaGodzilla and Titanosaurus launched an all-out attack on the Japanese mainland, and leveled city after city. Godzilla quickly intervened, but was beaten within an inch of his life but the tag-team titans.
Only with the intervention of INTERPOL and the re-awakening of King Caesar was Titanosaurus freed of his mind control and Godzilla able to soundly defeat MechaGodzilla once and for all, and the Simeons were harshly driven from Earth. Titanosaurus, however, was greatly wounded in the battle, as at its end, INTERPOL was able to free the dinosaur from his servitude, and King Caesar convinced him to fight alongside himself and Godzilla. When MechaGodzilla unleashed its final, deadliest laser-cannon, Titanosaurus took the full force of the blast that was intended for Godzilla, and the noble creature fell off of a high cliff and into the ocean, where he would disappear until the late 1990's.

Titanosaurus, or another like him, was eventually found and coralled at the Monster Island facility at Ogasawara.

Abilities/Aspects:
-Extremely succeptible to high-frequency waves
-Expandable "fan-tail" capable of creating gale-force winds
-Normally a very placid fish-eater, but will become aggressive if cornered or injured
-Resistant to most small-arms and heavy ordinance, but relied on MechaGodzilla to eradicate military force (would otherwise be seriously injured by an all-out attack)

Regrettably, this is one of those four that I flat out dislike. And it's for one reason and one reason only: He's too dinosaur-like.

A fifty foot and fifty meter dinosaur are not going to be built the same. It's as simple as that.
Titanosaurus was a bulky, upright retro-dinosaur, with some sea serpent features. He was muscular, he was one of the strongest beasties in Toho's lineup, and he looked the part.

I don't like the idea of him being a spinosaurus. For one, spinosaurus wasn't a muscular or powerful dinosaur. For another, Titanosaurus was never modeled after one. When Titano was conceived, spinosaurus was an allosaur with a fin on its back. I'm not sure we even knew about baryonyx.

They just don't go together. Spinosaurs were thinly built waders who could barely swim. Titanosaurus was a master swimmer with incredible strength. They don't go together at all. This version couldn't possibly throw one of Titano's trademark uppercuts.
And it's not realistic for a giant monster to be built like that anyway, so I really don't see any justification of the design changes.

That said, everything else about the design, I like. The color, the texture, the face, the fins, the antennae...


And I'd better not get called out by half the fanbase for saying that. >_>
:iconamericanraptor:
That looks like a mutant Spinosaurus/ Sea Serpent. But it is still COOL!
:iconsparkstudios:
I really like that the way you do these...I can almost hear his distinct scream. As for your critics...maybe most of the toho "dino-like" monsters stood upright because they had people in them...:confused:

He definitely has that aquatic look to him.

One of the most overlooked and frequently forgotten of Godzilla's foes...
