 "Stegosaurus" is one of the three dinosaur types whose physical characteristics were combined by the designers at Toho, to create the Japanese monster Godzilla; the other two dinosaurs were "Tyrannosaurus" and "Iguanodon".In the American version of "King Kong vs. Godzilla" this is remarked upon by a reporter, claiming Godzilla was half-"Stegosaurus", half-"Tyrannosaurus".
