Rodan

Rodan is a really big Pteranodon kaiju that takes its place amongst one of the most famous kaiju around. it has gone toe to toe with other kaiju including Godzilla when it awakened in the 1964 film, ghidorah, the three headed monster. however, it first appeared as a happy married couple in the form of a male and female Rodan that worked together to kick the shit out of Tokyo before one of them got stuck in a volcanic blast, killing the creature and causing the other to be stricken by grief to the point that it said screw it, and offed itself by flying straight into the volcano, supposedly killing itself alongside the mate. its appearances throughout the Godzilla franchise as friend or foe cement it as one of the most famous kaiju in the franchise to date, and it is by far the most badass bird you will ever see on cinema.
