Story

The Dragosaurus, a mysterious prehistoric animal, surviving unknowingly in the depths of the oceans, seeds panic by devouring huge quantities of oil around the planet, until it starts to head for Tokyo. However, despite this Japan has some aces in his sleeves: Grendizer, Great Mazinger and Getter Robo G, which are immediately sent to stop the monstrous animal. Unfortunately, the awkward Boss Borot joins the team and ends up being swallowed by the Dragosaurus rendering all more difficult. Boss Borot eventually manages to escape the creature's stomach thanks to Great Mazinger. As the three super robots try to fight off Dragonsaurus the animal makes its way to Tokyo and goes on a rampage. Dragonaurus is eventually killed off after Getter Robo G uses the Shine Spark to ignite the large quantities of oil in its body, saving the city.

Dragonsaurus

The main antagonist of the film, the Dragonsaurus is an ancient reptilian animal that grew to large sizes from the oil it consumes with maximum size being 550 meters and 40,000 tons. Dragonsaurus is armed with seven serpent-like tentacles that can extend very long distances and are used as its primary attack. Dragonsaurus also has extremely potent regeneration that allows it to regrow its seven serpent-like tentacles in a matter of seconds and is strong enough to make it extremely resistant if not immune to electric attacks like Double Spazer's Cyclone Beam and acid attacks like Grendizer's Melt Shower. Dragonsaurus's body also has a high resistance to beams and absorbs projectiles such as missiles through its skin where they fail to detonate. To move on land Dragonsaurus possesses the ability to levitate, but also uses its tentacles to create hurricane-force winds.

Dragonsaurus later appears in various Super Robot Wars titles as a boss and in Super Robot Wars Reversal and Super Robot Wars MX is given a powerful sonar attack.

gollark: Indeed, C unsafe and bad.
gollark: Well, I'd hope we replace C with something not wildly unsafe.
gollark: of course, supreme R U S T does not.
gollark: * C(++)
gollark: The C++ one stands a significantly greater chance of having security problems and memory management issues.
