Manda
"Guardian Dragon"
a sea dragon kaiju who first appeared in the 1963 Toho film Atragon. In his debut film, Manda was the guardian of the undersea empire of Mu, and was unleashed to destroy the Gotengo before it could breach the heart of Mu. The second incarnation of Manda introduced in Destroy All Monsters was one of the monsters contained on Monsterland by the end of the 20th century, and was unleashed to attack London and Tokyo under the command of the Kilaak invaders. After the aliens’ control of the monsters was severed, Manda was present at Mount Fuji when Godzilla and the other monsters battled King Ghidorah. Manda made a brief appearance in Godzilla Final Wars as well, once again battling the Gotengo underwater.
