Eclipse Varan is the version of Varan that appears in the Godzilla fan film Godzilla Battle Royale made by Rockstar Fan Films.
Appearance
Eclipse Varan looks much like the original Varan, but possesses several noticeable differences. His body texture is more detailed-looking and muscled than Toho's Varan designs, and his coloration is somewhat lighter than the Destroy All Monsters Varan. His eyes are also narrower.
Furthermore, this Varan possesses no gliding membranes, as it uses energy wings to fly, however flaps of skin on his arms and legs showing where the membranes would typically be attacked.
History
Godzilla Battle Royale
Eclipse Varan first appeared along with the other Earth Kaiju, attacking Chicago while under the control of Queen Xaxious. This continued until the control on the monsters was broken, after which Eclipse Varan joined in the battle against the Alien Kaiju, eventually aiding in defeating Queen Ghidorah. Afterwords, Eclipse Varan went with the other Earth Kaiju who had fought against the aliens to return to Monster Island.
Abilities
- Spikes. The spikes on Eclipse Varan's back can be used as short-range weapons in combat
- Burrowing: Eclipse Varan can burrow underground at fairly impressive speeds
- Gliding/Energy Wings. Like the normal Varan, Eclipse Varan can glide, however his gliding membranes are instead constructs of purple energy in the same shape, which Varan can still use to fly around. This is likely done as the suit itself possesses no attached gliding membranes.
Trivia
- Eclipse Varan is only referred to as "Varan" in Godzilla Battle Royale. The name "Eclipse Varan" is only used by the studio who produced the film and for his appearances at G-Fest.
- Unlike his Toho incarnations, who were primarily quadrupedal, this incarnation of Varan primarily walks upright.
- The Eclipse Varan suit, like the suits for Gfantis and Hyper Godzilla, has made many appearances at G-Fest.
