Varan

==Summary==
Varan (バラン) is a tri-phibian kaiju that first appeared in the 1958 Toho film, Varan, and later debuted in the Godzilla series in the 1968 film Destroy All Monsters.
In his debut film, Varan was a huge prehistoric reptile that lived beneath a lake near a Japanese mountain village, whose inhabitants came to fear him as the "Baradagi" mountain god. Varan eventually emerged from the lake, destroying the village and making his way to Tokyo, where he was finally defeated by the JSDF at Haneda Airport. A second incarnation of Varan was introduced in Destroy All Monsters ten years later, in which the creature was now a small juvenile living in peace with the other monsters of Earth on Monsterland.[5] Varan was present during the Earth monsters' battle against King Ghidorah, but did not take part and only observed. While relatively obscure compared to most of Toho's kaiju library due to only having a major role in a single film, Varan has nonetheless retained some degree of popularity over the years, being considered for many unrealized film projects and making appearances in non-film media such as comic books and video games.

*Tri-phibiousness: Varan is a tri-phibian creature, meaning that he is capable of movement on land, underwater, or in the air. Varan walks across solid land with ease, and can effectively crush structures using his arms, legs, and tail. Varan remains submerged underwater for long periods of time, initially spending his time sleeping under a lake. Varan later makes his way to Tokyo by swimming through the ocean, evading the JSDFs naval assault as he quickly covers a great distance. Most unusually, Varan is capable of gliding flight. Varan unfolds membranes between his arms and legs and leaps into the air, with the membranes allowing him to glide across the sky like a flying squirrel. Varan glides at Mach 1.5, the same flight speed as Rodan.
*Poisonous Spines: Poison is stored inside the spines on Varan's back.
