Strangely, the monster Magma or Maguma is said to be a reptilian creature despite resembling a walrus. The script didn't specify any details about the creature, only that it was meant to be a reptile. Not wanting to simply do a rehash of Godzilla, Ishirô Honda had it changed to a giant walrus instead. Despite this change, the Toho studio kept insisting that Magma was a reptile as stated in the original script, referring to the monster as such in various Godzilla encyclopedias released decades after the film.
