Ogra and Gorgo are the names of 2 individuals of a species of Aquatic dinosaur that at some point in the past roamed across the many tropical island that would one day form europe. The appearance of these beasts in Irish and Viking mythology as dragons called Ogra lead to the belief that these creatures where nothing more than legend until a volcano eruption off the coast of Ireland  and the discovery of deceased ancient fish species floating in the sea was discovered. 


Gorgo as it was later named had started attacking coastal towns of ireland until the beast was driven away by villagers according to Captain Joe Ryan who saw the event from his fishing vessel than would go on to actually capture Gorgo than subdue the beast under several fishing nets and tranquilizers. Joe Ryan would soon sell the beast to a British circus owner who dubbed the creature Gorgo, after the Greek mythological monsters.  Gorgo was measured to be 50 feet long and 17 feet tall.  He was then put on display at a carnival in London before reports started to come in of tidal waves rushing through the River Thames washing away several villages and harbors. 


Ogra had appeared and soon came to land causing millions of dollars of damage before locating her offspring. England's air force of the time retaliated, rushing Ogra with fighter jets, dropping bombs and firing missiles which had no effect on her. When the air force had retreated, she smashed through the  fences and walls holding her son in, freeing him, within doing so, both returned to the sea, and wouldn't be seen again until 1995.


In 1995 Ogra and Gorgo reappeared on Monster island when the Kilaaks ship and several King ghidorahs had attacked both the Island and major cities of the Earth.  Ogra had first showed up back on the radar when a ghidorah appeared flying above Celtic sea. This particular ghidorah was small, with only a wingspan of 280 feet, as it flew over the Celtic sea, Ogra launched from the water like a great white shark, taking the ghidorah into the depth of the ocean to never be seen again.


A few weeks later she appeared on Monster island where the  and 3 individual gigantic Ghidorahs where attacking, it seemed she had a natural way of knowing of the battle that was taking place on Monster island. Ogra came to shore where Gorgo stayed as he was still the roughly the same size due to slow kaiju growth cycles. 


Ogra and the other monsters battled and eventually won the fight, destroying the ghidorahs and the Kilaakian mother ship. Ogra survived the encounter and now she and her son now exist together on the island, living within the freshwater sea of Monster Island.


Life on the Island


Ogra and Gorgo live off of large fish and shore dwelling animals of the freshwater sea.  Gorgo is many centuries younger than his mother Ogra and has a build and size similar to that of a tyrannosaur while his mother has a more upright build similar to other large kaiju. It is assumed as Gorgo grows he will take a more upright stance. 


While Gorgo may be 100 or more years old, he is still an infant in his species. Due to the fact they seem to be the only ones of their species which where named /Gorgo individualis/ it is believed 1 or 2 Gorgosaurus are to exist at one time or they are the last of their species which may have been wide spread sometime in the past. Ogra and Gorgo live within a 3 mile radius of eachother, as in this is the furthest Gorgo will wonder from his mother which explains how Ogra didn't immediately  when her son disappeared. 


Ogra can often times be found sparing and battling against the other kaiju like Gorosaurus and Godzilla. Of course these are never fatal battles and are more comparable to practice fights between "friends" which large kaiju often show between some others. 

Gorgo and Ogra of from the film Gorgo.

I only saw the trailer teaser for the move, can anyone explain what gorgo really is please.

Also from what i see from the actually creature itself, the sketch brings to life more life-like version that makes a more realistic creature like if you look at it, it will actually make you wonder if something like that could actually exsist. Some of the largest dinosaur's grew to be size of skyscraper's why not a actient species of reptile, it could survive in the oceans by feasting on whales and shark's. Love the sketch.

Now this is a nice remaster of a character, it looks more natural and up to date, while still retaining the key features of its original version.
I'm pretty sure people will like this more than the remake Indominus/InGen dinos.

Btw, have you seen the old concept arts for the Indominus when it was called Diabolus? One of them looks kinda similar to your design. Maybe rename your version of the Indominus to Diabolus rex, make it a prototype of the movie I.rex, and that would explain the differences between the 2 species. Then, I could write a profile for the movie I. rex, and everyone could decide which one to prefer.
