Megalon

     Megalon is a giant beetle creature appeared only in the movie Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973).

     Megalon, like Gigan and King Ghidorah, is an alien and controlled by Xiliens. But, it's actually from Seatopia, a kingdom located below the Earth's oceans. In fact, it's the guardian of Seatopia. As of its body, it has a beetle-like head and an armored lower body. It also has a massive shell on its back.

    Like the two other kaijus, Megalon is also an enemy of Godzilla. In the movie, the first and the only movie Megalon has ever been, Megalon arrives at Tokyo guided by the Jet Jaguar. Later we find out that Jet Jaguar was being controlled by the Seatopians, and once it was free, it turned on against Megalon. Since Megalon couldn't handle Jet Jaguar, Gigan arrived to help him take down Megalon. After Jet Jaguar's defeat and Godzilla's arrivance, the kaijus had a big fight side to side and it ended with Godzilla and Jet Jaguar taking the victory.

Godzilla's infamous "Slide Kick" against Megalon (Godzilla vs. Megalon, 1973)

     For its weaponry and combat, Megalon is well equipped with Drill Arms and its horn which can both deal massive damage in melee combat and  shoot the "Beast Killer Light Ray". A decently long name for a simple laser beam! Its arms are sharp drillers, and he can both harm his enemies and even drill holes underground, which makes it way more useful and a bigger threat. It also has more common abilities like creating sound waves, having magnetic interaction etc.

     This blog may be a bit short, since we've seen Megalon only in one single movie. But it's still as popular as most of the other kaijus. But why? Because of media. Yes, he didn't appear in many films, didn't fight with other kaijus that often and we weren't able to see his true power. But still, he made an appearance in dosens of shows, games, books and comics. Maybe even this "slide kick" meme helped Megalon stay popular. 

    This is the end of this post. Now you know at least something new about our alien beetle, Megalon!
