Zedus is a giant sea monster that appears in the film, Gamera: The Brave.
Overview[]
Zedus is a large aquatic saurian monster. He strongly resembles Godzilla and has a large neck frill (that resembles a dilophosaur from Jurassic Park) and vestigial "fins" from his head and his tail. These fins help Zedus to breathe underwater. Despite that monsters in Millennium series are considerably smaller in size than the previous series in general, Zedus is a fairly large monster whose total length reaches 150 meters. Also he has a rather long and powerful tail. It emits colossive acids from its tongue and claws. He fights almost exclusively with his claws, teeth and tail. His most powerful weapon is his elongated tongue which he can launch in a "spear"-like attack, reminiscent of fellow Gamera foe Barugon. He is an extraordinary jumper. He feeds on humans almost exclusively in the film.
