When I was a kid I loved Monster From a Prehistoric Planet aka Gappa, the 
Triphibian Monster. It was basically a Japanese retelling of Gorgo turned up to 
11. There were two monster parents instead of one, they were triphibians 
because they could fly as well as live in water and on land. They also had a 
breath weapon.

It was Nikkatsu Studio's only attempt at trying to knock Toho of the top of 
kaiju eiga mountain. it failed miserably. Shortly after that the studio became 
known for softcore porn.

I wouldn't call Nikkatsu's work softcore porn. It is a little more artistic
than that in some cases. Plus they had their best directors making the films
from the 60s-70s. They also produced 4x's as much work. (they also produced
movies like The Grudge and Machine Girl)
