**Gorosaurus** (ゴロザウルス *Gorozaurusu*) is a dinosaur Titan who appeared in *Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy*.

One of the inhabitants of Skull Island, Gorosaurus is a super-evolved Allosauridae dinosaur that is one of the Titans that control and regulate the population of the Skullcrawlers; a Subterranean skull-head Titans that eat everything and anything they can find.

Gorosaurus is not a big threat to humanity, as he's just a large animal that hunts only when he needs to eat. However, this dinosaur is definitely not a pushover, as he has a deadly bite that causes his victims to bleed a lot. He also has a strong tail that can knock down enemies or can even be used for balancing, allowing him to perform the Kangaroo Kick, powerful enough to stun smaller Titans. Gorosaurus have raptor-like talons, that can pierce even Godzilla's skin.

## Name

The origin of Gorosaurus's name is not entirely known. It **might** have been derived from the Japanese word "gorogoro," meaning "thunder". Another **possible** explanation may be that it's an intentionally corrupted form of *Gorgosaurus*, as both names are extremely similar in both English and Japanese; however, no official word has confirmed the origin of the name. The "-saurus" part of his name, a common component of the names of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles, comes from the Greek word *sauros*, meaning "lizard."

## Design

Though Gorosaurus has only appeared as a Skull Island cameo, Gorosaurus still has notable design changes from Toho's Gorosaurus. The LordVerse incarnation has green skin, with noticeable sharper claws and spiked back. He also has a more anatomically accurate Allosaurus-shaped skull, while Toho's design as more of a fusion of a T-rex and a Giganotosaurus. LordVerse Gorosaurus is also hunched forward, much like the modern reconstructions of Dinosaurs and the TriStar Godzilla, but can stand upright, like Toho's incarnation.

## Origins

An ancient monster evolved from an Allosauridae species of dinosaurs, Gorosaurus is one of the earliest Titan species ever to exist. For million of years, these creatures lived on the surface, but during the Grand Ghidorah's invasion 12,000 years ago, they were forced to hide in The Underground. There are still a few specimens left, the largest, 70-m tall one currently lives on Skull Island. This specimen uses Skull Crawlers as his primary food source, preventing the Devils from wiping out native species.
