[3] In the film Frankenstein vs. Baragon, Baragon is depicted as a kaiju that evolved from the fictional dinosaur Baranosdragon, burrowed underground to escape the extinction of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, and adapted and survived over the years.

The two engage each other in battle, with the latter defeating Baragon by breaking its neck before a fissure opens and swallows both combatants.

Most of them engage and eventually kill the space dragon in combat, though Baragon did not take part in either.

In the film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Baragon is depicted as one of Japan's three ancient guardian monsters who were killed years prior by Japanese warriors, who prayed for them to return to save Japan.

Additionally, the Showa version can breathe fire or shoot a heat ray from its mouth.
