Taurusaurus is a fictional giant bovine kaiju created by Global Studios for some of its films. A franchise soon developed that included various toys and action figures, and the monster's popularity persisted for over 12 years. Apparently a bovine monster was chosen because "cattle are animals closest to humans".

After a gap of over 12 years since the last Taurusaurus film, Global Studios decided to bring back the character via a new film titled: "Taurusaurus Vs. Gourdy". The film would be a sequel to the original 2007 Taurusaurus movie and feature it battling against the Gourd Lake monster "Gourdy". The new film would also show Taurusaurus destroying a city, which would be symbolic of the power of nature, while the original film was about "the relationship between humans and nature".

To make the theme work in the modern era, the film-makers of the 2019 remake chose a considerably darker design for the character. The movie starred Shaun Fenn as a young boy who can communicate telepathically with Taurusaurus by drinking fresh milk, while Will Powers would be in the Taurusaurus costume. Global Studios poured a considerable amount of money into the production of the new film. The film was to feature a cameo by Zheng Fa president Di-Jun Wang, as the president was a longtime fan of the franchise.

The filming location chosen was near the Bigg Building skyscraper. However, filming was cut short by an unexpected murder at the location. The body of president Wang was found within what appeared to be a Taurusaurus's footprint, having been allegedly crushed with a large Taurusaurus prop. Around that time, Lotta Hart and Tabby Lloyd became convinced that Taurusaurus was more than just a fictional character, and that the studio was covering up this fact. This belief was due to the fact Hart had supposedly photographed Taurusaurus's eye, while Lloyd had supposedly recorded the sound of the monster breathing fire. These were later revealed to both have come from a balloon being used by the mastermind behind the president's murder. Luckily for the studio, all the press coverage due to the president's death led to the movie becoming a great financial success.

Name

• "Borumosu" apparently comes from the Japanese for "cow offals"; Borumosu (ボルモス) = horumon (ホルモン).
• "Taurusaurus" is a portmanteau of the Latin word Taurus, meaning "bull", and "saurus", a suffix attached to the names of many dinosaurs.
• Its name in the unofficial English fan patch for Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit is "Moozilla", which is a portmanteau of the vocalizations of a cow ("moo") and the name of the well-known kaiju "Godzilla".
