Also don't forget, he sailed to the UK and set fire to a British dock, or shipyard (can't remember). That's why he was called "The Pirate Paul Jones".

There is a funny British propaganda caricature of him made up as a pirate. The Dutch also had to recognize his standard so he wouldn't be accused of piracy when he sailed the Serapis into port, he transferred to her after the Bonhomme Richard sank.

D. Anguirus

Who is Gojira

The name is a combonation of gorira (ゴリラ, "gorilla"), and kujira (鯨（クジラ）, "whale"), Godzilla was described as "a cross between a gorilla and a whale", One popular story is that "Gojira" was actually the nickname of a rather large, muscular, and hairy stagehand at Toho Studio.

The real answer is B. Gojira by the way. "Godzilla" is a semi-botched up transliteration from Japanese, with ジ turned into "dzi-".

It's funny that you mentioned that. My wife and I were playing DOOM waiting for dinner to arrive, which is where I got the idea for the trivia question.

I thought Deimos was the personification of terror. It's been a while though since I read about them.

He is, his name can mean "dread" and it's roughly synonymous with "Terror".
