Baragon was one of the three Yamato monsters that protect Japan. Two-thousand years earlier, the ancient dynasties buried Baragon, and the other two Yamato monsters, Mothra and King Ghidorah, so they could sleep and grow over a 10,000 year period. In 2004, Godzilla, driven by the souls of the dead from World War II, is aroused 50 years after his original attack. A mysterious, mystical old man then decided to awaken the Yamato monsters to stop Godzilla. Baragon was the first monster encountered by Godzilla. Unfortunately, Baragon proved to be no match for Godzilla, and was disintigrated by Godzilla's atomic breath.
