History


Aboras is one of two ancient devil beasts sealed away eons ago and the archenemies of Banila. The destructive twin behemoths remained trapped within their capsules until the container for both capsules was unearthed, Banila's having fallen out. While Aboras’s capsule was taken by the Science Patrol, Banila’s accidentally got transported to the dump were the dirt from the excavation was taken. Aboras's capsule was tested on by scientists, but once it was surged with electricity, the capsule was opened, releasing Aboras.

While Banila was attacking the city, the Science Patrol was preoccupied by the monster, leaving Aboras to set his own path of destruction with no opposition. Releasing Banila was released, both instinctive rivils met at the Olympics grounds and battled viciously. Both Banila and Aboras appeared to be evenly matched in both physical strength and special abilities. However once the Science Patrol arrived, they focused their efforts on finishing off Banila since he was attacked the most. As the Science Patrol attacked Banila, Aboras was faced with opposition as well, but his armor prevented any damage being taken by the Science Patrol's weapons. Once they shot out one of Banila's eyes, Aboras took the opporitunity to finish him off with its acidic foam, dissolving its flesh reducing Banila to nothing.

With Banila dead, Aboras focused his wrath on the Science Patrol, but then was met with opposition, this time by Ultraman. Despite coating the ultra with his mist, Ultraman shook it off and overpowered Aboras until after 3 consecutive specium rays, Aboras was destroyed.

The Ultraman
Aboras reappeared in episode 27 of the series, The Ultraman.

Housed within the rocky confines of the disguised Baladon spaceship, nightmares waited to be unleashed. When the Science Garrison moved in to investigate the new island, several kaiju were let out of their cages, one being Aboras. The horned titan quickly drew battle against another of its kind, Banila. As chaos ripped through the island, the forces began to bomb it. This only halted the action for a brief second, but when Ultraman Jonias was summoned, Aboras and its monstrous brothers were ultimately destroyed by the hero’s Planium Ray.

Trivia

 * In this series, Aboras possesses two spikes on his back, a feature which is not present in any of his other appearances.

Ultraman Powered
Aboras reappeared in episode 7 of the series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.

Much like their original counterparts, Banila and Aboras were locked away long ago in special sarcofiguses (rather than capsules) After Banila's sarcofigus was found, WINR translated the hieroglyphics and revealed the warning of the existence of the two devil kaiju. Fortunately, they could only emerge if their sarcofiguses were exposed to certain sounds. After WINR found out Aboras released, Banila's sarcofigus was released as well.

The two devil kaiju met in a Los Angeles neighborhood on the outskirts of the main city where they began to battle. Aboras seemed to have won the battle with his melting liquid but was met by an ambush by WINR, whom tried to attack Aboras but with little success. Eventually, Banila used "acidic reformation" to continue his attack. As the two devil kaiju fought each other again, Kenichi Kai turned into Ultraman Powered. During the battle, WINR used a special machine to emit 23,000 herts, greatly weakening both devil kaiju and allowed Powered to destroy Aboras and then Banila with the Mega Specium Ray.
