History
Pagos was an ancient monster who had ravaged Beijing in search of Uranium to feed upon. Once his consumption of Uranium was full from Beijing, Pagos turned his attention to Japan to feed on Nuclear Energy from a newly created industrial plant.

Pagos later surfaced in the middle of a field where it attacked a small girl and boy who had found a capsule full of uranium, disguised to look like an egg. After the capsule was lost in the scuffle between the monster and the kids, Pagos resumed its trek to attack the industrial plant. As the monster was rampaging in the plant, several planes swooped in and doused Pagos with chemicals that solidifyed Pagos into stone. Shortly after, Pagos fell apart into stone fragments, dead.
