Manda is a giant sea-serpent kaiju created by Toho for the Japanese film Atragon in 1963, where it guarded the undersea kingdom of Mu. The creature later returned in Destroy All Monsters in 1968 and Godzilla: Final Wars in 2004, becoming a familiar, if less famous, member of the Godzilla monster roster. Because Manda appears far less often than Godzilla or Mothra, its roar is a distinctive choice for fans, who use the short clip in kaiju edits, reaction videos and monster-themed memes to signal an ancient creature rising from the sea.
