Gomora[3][4] (ゴモラ Gomora?) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, that first appeared in episode 26 of Tsuburaya Productions' 1966 series Ultraman.
Contents
Overview
Gomora is an ancient dinosaur about 40 metres (130 ft) tall and weighing 20,000 metric tons from the Shōwa period.[3]
Name
Gomora's name likely comes from a combination of Godzilla and Mothra's Japanese names.
Shōwa period
Gomora debuts in episode 26 of the original Ultraman series, in which it is a descendant of the Gomorasaurus species and escapes Scientists that attempt to display him at the Osaka Expo.[2] It was one of the few creatures to defeat Ultraman. It would lose to Ultraman in a second fight.
Development
Gomora was designed by Tohl Narita, who based the monster's head on the helmet of the Kuroda Nagamasa.
