is a kaiju film monster which first appeared in Toho's 1958 film ''Varan the Unbelievable''. ==Overview== In its first appearance, Varan is a monster that lives in a saltwater lake within the Kunishiroshima valley, where it is known to the natives as ''Baradagi-Sanjin''. It kills an expedition duo and then completely destroys a nearby village. After its home is invaded again, the monster proceeds to attack Tokyo and is seemingly unstoppable until it is tricked by the military into eating bombs. After a few detonate in its stomach, Varan is mortally wounded and escapes back into the ocean, but one final bomb explodes, apparently killing the creature. Years later, Varan reappears in ''Destroy All Monsters'' living in Monster Island with many other monsters including Godzilla, Mothra, Kumonga/Spiga, Anguirus, Baragon, Little Godzilla, Rodan, Gorosaurus, and Manda. Varan is seen, in the wide screen version of the film on DVD gliding in to join the other Earth monsters to fight against Monster Zero (called "King Ghidorah" in the film), although it does not actually take part in the fight. Within the context of the film itself it is only seen gliding through the air prior to the climatic fight at the end of the movie and in the last scene as a static model rather than as a suit. Varan makes a semi-cameo in ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' using stock footage from ''Varan the Unbelievable'' during the narrative at the beginning, claiming that Varan was one of many monsters that arose due to the devastation that the World Wars brought, along with Gezora, Baragon, Gaira, Titanosaurus, and Megaguirus. Varan is 50 meters (164 feet) tall and weighs 15,000 metric tons (16,534 short tons). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「varan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
