History
Gorbagos was a nocturnal monster that lived in the mountains. First sighted through a photograph taken by Jiro, the little "brother" of Goh. MAT arrived on the scene to investigate, but unfortunately could not find the monster due to Gorbagos's Camouflage ability. Goh ventured further into the valley (constantly hearing Gorbags's roars due to his Ultra Abilities) only to discover a group of partying teenagers in a cave. He tried to warn them of the danger and get them to leave but they instead made fun of him. Their partying awakened Gorbagos, who became annoyed and appeared to attack. But when Goh pulled his gun, the creature retreated back into the caves. Outside as MAT continued looking around, Goh helped MAT discover the monster as he was sleeping against the side of a cliff. As they attacked it, Gorbagos chose to retreat by turning invisible.

Now knowing Gorbagos was on the loose, MAT began the Rainbow Operation to trap the monster. When they found Gorbagos and attacking him, as Gorbagos was fleeing, the monster was dosed with paint, leaving him unable to turn invisible again. Now angry, Gorbagos took the offensive and spat his fireballs at MAT downing Goh while he was in his jet. Fortunately, Ultraman Jack managed to appear and was soon on the attack. Both Jack and Gorbagos were evenly matched, but as Jack was gaining the upperhand, Gorbagos tried to burrow away. Jack fired the Specium Ray into his back, killing Gorbagos.
