Fictional character biography

Yetrigar is a Sasquatch-like being who has grown to gargantuan proportions due to being exposed to radiation. His name comes from the legendary shaggy men that some believe live in the Japanese mountains.

Yetrigar battles Godzilla in the Grand Canyon. In his encounter with Godzilla, Yetrigar proves more than a match for the legendary 'King of the Monsters' and could have perhaps even killed Godzilla had Red Ronin not interceded. Red Ronin is a giant robotic construct piloted by Robert Takiguchi, a young boy that to which the robot had bonded. Initially, Robert tries to prevent both entities from harming each other but ultimately buries Yetrigar beneath a rockslide. Ashamed of this action, Takiguchi temporarily fled in the Red Ronin battlesuit.

Yetrigar was rarely seen after this initial encounter.
