The Giant Octopus (大おおダコ Ōdako) is a cephalopod kaiju who first appeared in the 1962 Toho Godzilla film, King Kong vs. Godzilla. It returned in the alternate ending of Frankenstein vs. Baragon, and finally in The War of the Gargantuas. After the Showa series, the monster was featured in Godzilla: Heart-Pounding Monster Island!! for the Sega Pico and the first prequel novel to the anime GODZILLA trilogy, GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse.
A Sequel to Godzilla Raids Again, where Godzilla, free from his icy tomb, falls in love with another, female member of his species, who resides in the Hollow Earth. Loosely inspired by the unmade "Bride of Godzilla?"
