Stegorus

Stegorus was the third monster Fireman fought in the second episode of Fireman.

History:
Stegorus was a peaceful monster that lived in the sea until it was taken over mentally by an alien. Using two antenae's lodged into Stegorus' brain, the man sent him out for world conquering. The monster was confronted by the SAF and JSDF, and even Fireman battled it. The fight continued until the antenae where destroyed, freeing Stegorus's mind. The confused peacefull monster was fired apon by the JSDF, and Fireman tried to guide it back to the ocean. The alien took aim to control Stegorus' mind once more, but the SAF destroyed him in a firey explosion. Stegorus, though, was killed by the alien's final shot, and the once peaceful monster died in Fireman's arms. The red and white hero, striken with grief, burried Stegorus in his undersea home.

A second Stegorus appeared and was savaged by the monster Nerogirasu, it's head ripped from it's body.

Powers:

 * Electric Plates: The plates on Stegorus' back can conduct electricity.
 * Fire: Stegorus can fire a deadly stream of flames from his mouth.
 * Adept Swimmer: Being semi-aquatic, Stegorus can swim at moderate speeds.
