Gabara

He's so underrated, who else loves old' Gabby. Besides, Tohokingdom's cartoon portay of him, I think he's cool. Didn't in the original concept for the film, inolve Godzilla and son arriving in Japan to take on Gabara?

Gabara, now there's an obscure monster. He hasn't even had a stock-footage nod like Varan, Gaira, and Gezora recently enjoyed. Let's bring Gabara back! As a kid, I thought he was pretty frightening. Imagine how scary he could be in a new film!

Yeah, he was pretty good as a kaiju. I think he was a mutant cat or proto-mammal.

I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I never really cared for Gabara. Unlike other obscure kaiju I love (Gorosaurus, Varan, 
, Yog trio, Dogora, etc), Gabara just never really caught on with me. He's not particularly well designed (looks like something intended more for Ultraman, Zone Fighter, or Ultra Q instead of a G film) , his roar, though it's quite unique, is not up to par with most of the great showa kaiju roars, and he was rather weak and posed no threat at all as the film's main rival to Godzilla (even Minya in the end managed to kick his ass).
Still, I could definitely see some potential in a updated version of him...just as long as he's not a bully kaiju existing only in a dream.

Actually, thats a good idea. Gamera would take Gabara on Personally.
Ultraman. Is a Dick. A Big Dick.
