gappa: the triphibian monsters (1967)

aka Daikyojû Gappa.
"A monster!"
A Japanese theme park wants to stock up on some exotic animals and sends some people to a South Seas island to gather some. The island is home to a tribe that worship the mysterious deity Gappa, and initially welcome the Japanese expedition, until a baby reptile appears following an earthquake. As despite their warnings, the scientists decide to take the creature back to Tokyo. So they only have themselves to blame when mom and dad turn up looking for their kid.
A Kaiju that doesn't look on the creatures as monsters, but as doting parents, and lacks much of the crash, bang, wallop of others in the genre.
