Gigan
Gigan (Japanese: ガイガン, Hepburn: Gaigan) is a giant monster, or kaiju, who first appeared in Toho's 1972 film Godzilla vs. Gigan directed by Jun Fukuda. In the Showa era, Gigan is a extraterrestrial avian monster turned into a cyborg by the alien race known as the Nebulans. In the Millennium era, he is a bioweapon retrieved and created by the Xilliens who fought Mothra millennia ago before he was defeated by her and awakened by the Xilliens in the present time.
Gigan sports a huge buzzsaw in his frontal abdominal region, large metallic hooks for hands, and a bird-like beak. He is considered one of Godzilla's most brutal and violent opponents, and the first kaiju in the Toho sci-fi series to make him noticeably bleed. Complex listed the character as No. 2 on its "The 15 Most Badass Kaiju Monsters of All Time" list.
