'''Yonggary''' (용가리) (or '''Yongary'''), Korean for "huge dragon" appeared in the Korean ''teugchwal'' (Korean for "[[tokusatsu]]") film, '''''Taekoesu Yonggary''''' (대괴수 용가리) (AKA: '''''Yongary, Monster from the Deep''''') ([[1967]]), which is the first [[Korean]] [[kaiju]] movie. It is heavily based on [[Godzilla]], [[Gamera]], and other kaiju films. Yonggary is similar in appearance to Godzilla, but with smoother skin, smaller fins, a huge horn on his nose, and spikes on his tail.

It was remade in 1999 by prolific Korean filmmaker, [[Shim Hyung Rae]], using unconventional [[CGI]] effects, and an American cast to appeal to international markets.
