Jirass

Jirass is a monster that was created by a mad scientist inspired by the Loch Ness Monster and sea monsters. He appeared in the original Ultraman series and in Red Man. He is actually a Godzilla suit with the head of the Godzilla from the movie Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, and the body of the Godzilla suit from Mothra vs. Godzilla with some yellow on him and a frill around the neck.

Origin
A monster created by a mad scientist, which he named Jirass (Keyra in the U.S. dubbing), was being raised in lake Kitayama. It was inspired by the Loch Ness monster and sea monsters. When reports of an abundants of fish suddenly appearing in the lake came in, the Science Patrol was called in to investigate(the fish actually came from the scientist who released them in the water for Jirass to eat). When they didn't find any clues, the captain let them go on a vacation around there at a nice hotel until they were picked up. When Ide (Ito in the U.S. dubbing) went fishing with a female reportor who had interveiwed the scientist, they saw the scientist out on the lake about to feed Jirass. They then went to his house but were beaten by the scientist himself. When he found them in there, he took them hostage since they saw he on the water. The next day, while Ide was triying to fix his radio the scientist broke, the rest of the science patrol was looking for the two by the lake. Then they arrived at the shore just in time for jirass to come out of the water, naturally the science patrol started shooting at him then the scientist came telling tthe science patrol that Jirass was his creation and trying to get him to attack them. And while the captain Mura was trying to tell him that his idea was absurd, in a very awkward scene, the scientist pulls off his mask revealing him to be a scientist captain Mura eariliar made a good statement about to him. Then almost sacrificing himself, the scientist got trampled by his own monster. Then by that time Ide fixed his radio and told the rest of the science patrol that he was being held hostage in the scientist's house. Then right as the science patrol was about to get them out Jirass came and made an attempt to destroy the hose with them inside it. Hayata (who was outside), knowing there was no other option, pulled out the beta capsule and transformed into Ultraman. They got into a fairly even matched fight. Ultraman won with an Ultra Chop to the stomach killing Jirass. Instead of destroying him with his Specium Ray, Ultraman put the frill he ripped off of Jirass' neck back on and gave him a moment of silence (as if to honor Godzilla instead of him since he looked nearly identical to Godzilla). With his Color Timer blinking, Ultraman flew back to the Land of Light.

Toys/Action Figures
Bandai has released a mediocre 6 inch release of Jirass, some come in hard vinyl or in soft vinyl. This is not entirley size acurate with Ultramen or other Ultra monsters they have released before. This release is also fairly rare. X-plus has also released a more acurate but more rare realese of Jirass.
