 Toho decided to include monsters that have not been seen in a while,  along with some of their other monsters whose movies were not  connected to the Godzilla series. Anguirus had made his first  appearance since Godzilla Raids Again (1955) (qv); Baragon was  last seen in Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965) (qv);  Gorosaurus starred in King Kong Escapes (1966) (qv); Manda was in  Ishiro Hondas classic, Atragon (1963) (qv); and Varan starred in  the movie to his name.
