History
King Molerat was an average molerat until it mutated after consuming underground waste material that was abandoned by man. King Molerat came to the surface to feed on livestock from a nearby Zoo, but due to the bright sunlight the monster was weakened by its intense brightness and so went to sleep to pass the time. Once night came, King Molerat awoke and began a bloodthirsty rampage in search of food, setting its sights on cows of a nearby farmer. GUTS tried to stop the monster without doing too much harm to it, realizing it was only a mutated animal, but King Molerat's hunger made their efforts futile. Eventually, Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga and was able to hold off the King Molerat in his Strong Mode. Just as Tiga was about to kill Molerat with the Zepellion Ray, he was stopped by Rena of GUTS, who pleaded that the Ultra spare the monster. With that in mind, Tiga used a cellular transformation ray to revert King Molerat into a smaller and much more harmless animal than he was before.

Trivia

 * Deutalios.pngal online sources mistake King Molerat for the Toho Monster, Deutalios, a monster whom was scheduled to appear in the film Godzilla vs. Biollante but was scrapped from the proposed film. This is due to a famous online source website known as TohoKingdom whom have made an altercation to King Molerat's appearance. They have stated on their biography of Deutalios that the image was altered for a more ideal appearance of what the monster would look like due to their being extremely little resources on the monster's original appearance but to this day, sources continue to mistake the altered picture for the legitimate appearance of the scrapped monster.
 * King Molerat's roar is a combination of Magular and Gazoto's roar.
