History
Awakened by the environmental damage of toxic algae that was killing off fish, the planet Earth sent Kodalar to avenge its destruction by wiping out humanity to prevent any further damage. First sighted after destroying a few tankers with his lasers, UMA tried to attack the monster, but its weapons did nothing to faze the monster and Kodalar escaped. Later that night, Kodalar returned on later attacking a harbor. Again UMA tried to fight back, but Kodalar's body fat and energy attacks made UMA's efforts futile. Ultraman Great then arrived to battle the monster, but again things looked bleak as Kodalar's boby fat allowed him to absorb every blow by Great and shockingly, Kodalar defeated the Ultra by reflecting the ultra's Burning Plasma attack back at him, seemingly killing the ultra as Kodalar retreated back to the sea.

The next day Kodalar resumed his attack on the harbor from before, but was called off when he learned of this companion's short arrival. Heading to the Australian Mountains, Kodalar accompanied his companion, Kilazee and together both monsters waged war on humanity, with UMA as their own opposition. Ultraman Great returned, but with two monster against him, the odds were stacked against the Ultra. With the continued assistance of UMA, Kodalar was distracted by one of their weapons blasting at him, bouncing the attack back and forth him and the weapon until the attack overcharged beyond the monster's control and Kodalar was destroyed when the attack hit him at its fullest potential.
