History
Gigas was a monster created from the effects of the comet Tsuiphon as it passed the Earth. It awoke in the Arabis Mountains, emitting radio waves that could potentially detonate six missing nuclear bombs! Once the comet passed, the Science Patrol started a full search for the missing weapons and soon crossed paths with Gigas! As the team retreated, the monster Dorako flew in! They managed to lure Dorako to Gigas where the pair quickly engaged in combat.

As the titans waged war, a third contender burst forth from the rocks: Red King, who had swallowed the nuclear bombs! Arriving all the way from the lawless zone in the Pacific, Red King challenged both Gigas and Dorako. The pair were no match for the deadly monster and Gigas was sent into full retreat, but the Science Patrol couldn’t allow such a dangerous beast to exist. As Gigas crawled away, they unleashed their Extreme Drought Bomb, a bomb that destroys any signs of water on the object it touches, putting a sudden end to its life while Ultraman dealt with Red King.
