Ultraman 80
Gora belonged to the Vibros Aliens as their weapon to conquer Earth. Gora first appeared as an egg that was hidden within the Asada Mountains. Shortly after hatching, Gora began to absorb the magma from the Earth, allowing him to grow more bigger in size and more powerful in strength. Once he became big enough, he was called forth by Alien Vibros to kill Takeshi. Takeshi quickly transformed into Ultraman 80 and fought with the monster. Both 80 and Gora strength seemed to be at a perfect standstill as both monster and ultra's abilities matched up with one another. However once 80 found an opening, he fired at Gora with the Buckle Beam and immediately followed up with the Saxium Ray. The combined attacks were too much for Gora to handle and Gora agonizingly died of his injuries.
