''Gojirasaurus'' (meaning "Godzilla Lizard")〔K. Carpenter, 1997, "A giant coelophysoid (Ceratosauria) theropod from the Upper Triassic of New Mexico, USA", ''Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie, Abhandlungen'' 205(2): 189-208〕 is a dubious genus of dinosaur named after the giant monster movie character Gojira (the Japanese name for Godzilla). ==Etymology== The composite term ''Gojirasaurus'' is derived from the name of the giant Japanese movie monster "Gojira" (Godzilla) and the Greek word "sauros" (σαυρος) meaning "lizard"; thus, "Godzilla lizard". In addition, a theropod dinosaur with the name ''Godzillasaurus'' exists in the Heisei era of Godzilla films. "Gojira" was selected as a reference to the great size of this theropod, which exceeded that of its Triassic counterparts. The specific name "quayi", is a reference to Quay County, New Mexico, where the holotype specimen was discovered. ''Gojirasaurus'' was described and named by Kenneth Carpenter in 1997 and the type species is ''Gojirasaurus quayi''.
