Giant condor 2: Hey, you
Giant condor: What?
Giant condor 2: I dare you to peck Godzillas eyes out
Giant condor: You're on! WWWWWEEEEEEE!

Purpose? :roll:

Please. The Giant Condor does not need a purpose. He does whatever the hell he wants, and the rest of the world thanks him for the chance to applaud.

I'm pretty sure the purpose of the Giant Condor was a hidden message about the effects of the collapsing government.

Just like the fish head scene in Hedorah is clearly about Communism.
