Ultraseven
A Bioweapon created by Alien Shaplay to help him in his search for the substance that made up the core of the Earth, Giradorus searched underground while Shaplay disguised himself as the Seismologist's assistant.

After Shaplay was killed by the Ultra Garrison, Shaplay ordered his monster to kill the other members. Giradorus arose from the surface and began to rampage with his additional weather-controlling powers until Dan transformed into Ultra Seven, saving the other members underground and bringing them to the surface. Because of Giradorus's weather manipulating tusks Ultra Seven found it difficult to battle him, but the hero continued to fight. After escaping a tackle Ultra Seven used the Eye Slugger to decapitate Giradorus, spilling the pieces of the Earth's core from his neck.
