1960's[]

As the team scaled the face of a towering mountain, a clap of thunder shook the crew and its native guides. The chilling squeals of an unknown creature sent Kinsaburo Furue into a frantic spasm. Flinging it around by the tail, frightened out of his wits, Kinsaburo was told by Osamu Sakurai to toss the lizard off the side of the precipice. The poor animal cried out in horror as it fell, and it was soon silenced by Osamu's firearm. Just as the shot was fired, the earsplitting call of another, much more fearful beast, echoed throughout the mountains of Farou. The expedition and the natives ran for the village as the mountain began to collapse, for the giant lizard was the least of their worries...
