Varan the unbelievable torrent

Varan the Unbelievable is definitely among the worst early Toho monster efforts, even in its original Japanese form. Very little happens in this and Varan is an extraordinarily unremarkable monster. The humans are particularly stupid. They are entirely responsible for any death and destruction inflicted by Varan as they poke and prod him towards an explosive rage-fueled rampage.

But for all its flaws, Varan is still extremely watchable. Varan, as ill-thought out as he is, has enough personality to keep things entertaining. And with a tiny running time, the film never becomes boring.

Recommended for kaiju fans, no one else need apply. Y'all I spent this entire god damned movie waiting for my beautiful son Varan to lift his arms and fly off into the sunset like a flying squirrel just to learn that for some FUCKING reason that was cut from the American version. This country is truly beyond saving. Letterboxd is an independent service created by a small team, and we rely mostly on the support of our members to maintain our site and apps.

Varan does not have any beam weapons in any of his film appearances, in common with many of the older kaiju. However, in the video game Godzilla: Unleashed , Varan has the ability to emit a red sonic beam from his mouth, as well as what appears to be a ball of energy, both of which are said to be able to disrupt an opponent's sense of balance.

Varan was considered for Godzilla: Save the Earth , but was scrapped at some point. Varan appeared in Godzilla: Monster of Monsters , but otherwise has not appeared in any games.

He also appeared in Godzilla: Unleashed as an Earth Defender. He is given the ability to fire a sonic beam and a concentrated sonic energy ball. He has a gliding ability that works much like Rodan's flying, he can be unlocked by destroying the three purple objects on the Vortaak mothership while playing as an Alien.

Varan himself appeared purple in Godzilla: Monster of Monsters. Appearing on the second world, Varan will assault Godzilla or Mothra with a variety of melee attacks, the most devastating attack of which is his punch, a move that has excellent range and does noticeable damage.

Varan can also attack with his claws in rapid succession, which can score several hits against Godzilla or Mothra if in range. Varan may also attack his foes with a kick, or attempt to head butt them while advancing forward.

Varan also has the ability to jump high into the air to avoid attacks. Despite a healthy amount of moves, Varan shouldn't cause much trouble for Godzilla or Mothra because of his lack of a projectile and his habit of reeling back in pain after sustaining heavy damage; furthermore, unlike other bosses, Varan will not trap the player in the corner but will stay just in arms reach if Godzilla or Mothra is backed into the corner.

Varan in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth. Varan first appears in issue 5 of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth , appearing from China and traveling to a bunker where he fights Rodan and Gaira before vanishing into the ocean. He was also seen in a flash back when King Caesar and Megalon fought, appearing in the ocean with Ebirah to attack the escaping islanders.

He was also seen on the mural in the Infant Island cave, where he was one of the Water monsters. It is unknown where Varan went after the battle with Gaira, as he was never present on the Monster Islands , but a Trilopod later appeared to fight Godzilla that had Varan's traits. Varan was being held in the Trilopod hive, but was freed by King Caesar along with the other kaiju. Varan then took part in the final battle against the Trilopods, helping Zilla kill the Titanosaurus Trilopod, and the massive Magita.

After the threat was vanquished, Varan and the other monsters followed Godzilla out to sea. A demonic version of Varan emerged from the Eternal Ocean as Godzilla arrived there after falling from the ice following his fight with the demon Anguirus. The demon Varan and Godzilla immediately fought each other, but Godzilla dispensed of the demon with his atomic breath.
