Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A promotograph for the film Giant Monster Varan (1958), depicting the title monster in a destroyed airport.
Author or copyright owner	Toho Co.
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Toho Co.
Date of publication	1958
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Varan
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Main infobox. The image is used for the identification of the article's subject. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the character, and to help the user quickly identify the character. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	As a promotional image of the original film and a detailed photograph of the character, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or box art would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This image is of low resolution, reducing its overall reproducibility. It is solely used as an illustration of the character, which the article is centered on. Any other uses of this image beyond this article should be expressively prohibited.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
