According to Wikipedia, his Japanese name Gojira is a combination of two Japanese words meaning "gorilla" and "whale". In fact, he was initially meant to be a cross between a gorilla and a whale.
At some point, the design changed and he became a reptile - part Tyrannosaurus, part Stegosaurus, part Iguanodon, and part run-of-the mill crocodile.
This "blended chimera", as Wikipedia puts it, has battled a number of Not Yetis in his day.
