Gigan
Gigan (Japanese: ガイガン, Hepburn: Gaigan) is a kaiju created by Kaoru Mabuchi and Jun Fukuda who first appears in Toho's 1972 film Godzilla vs. Gigan directed by Jun Fukuda. In the Showa era, Gigan is an extraterrestrial avian monster transformed into a cyborg by the alien race named the Nebulans, while 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.
Sporting a 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.
