Varan

Varan (バラン Baran) is a tri-phibian kaiju that first appeared in 1958, and later appeared in 1968.

Origins
Varan is an ancient reptilian creature known as a Varanopode, which lived from the Triassic through Cretaceous Periods. Varan escaped extinction and lived for millions of years at the bottom of a lake in the Japanese countryside. Villagers living near the lake saw Varan as a god, giving him the title of the "Baradagi Mountain God." In 1999, Varan is one of the several kaiju living on Monsterland at the end of the 20th century.

History
Varan first appeared from a saltwater lake near Kunishiroshima in 1958.
