A magnificent elephant enjoys a moment of refreshment at a waterhole in Namibia’s untamed wilderness. With its powerful presence and wise gaze, this gentle giant embodies the raw beauty and resilience of the African savannah.

“The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” from Warner Bros. was produced by Jack Dietz and Hal E. Chester and directed by Eugène Lourié, and stars Paul Christian, Paula Raymond, Cecil Kellaway, and Kenneth Tobey. The film's stop-motion animation special effects are by Ray Harryhausen. Its screenplay is based on Ray Bradbury's 1951 short story “The Fog Horn,” specifically the scene where a lighthouse is destroyed by the beast.

The storyline concerns a fictional dinosaur, the Rhedosaurus, which is released from its frozen, hibernating state by an atomic bomb test in the Arctic Circle. The beast begins to wreak a path of destruction as it travels southward, eventually arriving at its ancient spawning grounds, which includes New York City.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms was one of the first atomic monster movies which helped inspire a generation of creature features.

Retomando historias poco conocidas sobre “Kaijus” traigo la furia consanguínea de los “Gappas” (1967) antiguos Grifos bípedos gigantes que habitan la isla Obelisco donde son adorados como dioses estelares que lucharon contra otros monstruos en el pasado remoto de la tierra; Siendo los últimos de su especie en sobrevivir tenemos al “Osu Gappa” (macho 60 metros de alto) en convivencia con “Mesu Gappa” (hembra 55 metros de alto) juntos engendraron un “bebe Gappa” que moraba en un templo sagrado dedicado a sus padres. 🐣

Todo cambio cuando una expedición científica de humanos descubrió el templo y secuestro al “bebe kaiju” pese a las advertencias de los nativos de no trastornar a sus dioses los científicos escaparon con el llanto del bebe, despertando en las profundidades submarinas de la isla la rabia de los dos padres “Gappas” que persiguieron con un rastro de destrucción los captores de su hijo, al final recuperan a su bebe y la familia Gappa regreso con vuelo tranquilo a la isla Obelisco. (Dejando mucha destrucción a sus espaldas.) 🔥

Behemoths have been in Final Fantasy since the second game, and have demonstrated varying levels of sentience. Most of them are just beasts, but some, like the one from FFXIII, are armored soldiers. This guy looks pretty tough, to be honest.

South Melbourne -

It is definitely as big as it looks.
