Subtitle: Metal Organism
History
Ultraman Gaia
Alguros, like Apatee, is a Metal Organism created by the Radical Destruction Bringer to bring destruction to Earth and humanity, but this time, Alguros was made for another purpose: destroy the "Place of Agul", which also serves as Hiroya Fujimiya's power source. After appearing from space in the form of huge metal spikes, Alguros quickly formed himself and began to proceed to the "place". However, Ultraman Agul appeared to defend his sanctuary, but was quickly outmatched by Alguros due to his shapeshifting abilities. XIG began to attack the metal being, distracting him, while Agul began to attack with Liquidators, but many almost hit the XIG Fighters themselves. Soon Alguros retreated. Later on, Alguros reappeared and began to attack the "place" with his cannon. Agul was called upon once again, and the two fought to a standstill until Alguros transformed into a copy of Ultraman Agul himself.
As Alguros transformed into Imit-Ultraman Agul, the real Ultra could only watch in shock. However, the fake imitator quickly deleted the pause by punching the Ultra in the face. After suffering many blows, Gamu decided to call upon Gaia, but was halted by Agul. Suddenly, the giant of the ocean spun into the air and crashed upon the fake. Then he rained the imitation with many blows, but was halted when Alguros launched Liquidators at him. Undeterred, Agul and the imitation had a duel of Photon Crushers. But Agul's was obviously more powerful and destroyed the fake easily.
Trivia
- Alguros uses exactly the same sound effects as Apatee, although it is extremely low pitched compared to Apatee's roar.
- Alguros's grunts are low-pitch version of Ultraman Agul's.
- Alguros' sinister smile as Imit-Ultraman Agul mimics the smile of Zeluganoid. This made Alguros as Imit-Ultraman Agul is the second Imitation Ultras to display facial expressions while fighting with the real Ultra, with the first one was Terranoid/Zeluganoid.
