The Ghighi are an alien race who first appeared in episodes 17 and 44 of Ultraman Cosmos. A race of extremely intelligent aliens from an alternate dimension, the Ghighi were divided down the middle by the question as to whether they should invade Earth, as their own kind had suffered a crisis of an unknown magnitude in the past.

History

Ultraman Cosmos

Long ago, after a crisis in their own dimension, the Ghighi races had a conference. The Scientist-Type chooses not to migrate to Earth since their presence will disturb the human race but the Soldier-Type chose otherwise and began an invasion scheme.

Three of the Soldier-Type Ghighi, Ghighi A (red eye), Ghighi B, (yellow eye), and Ghighi C (blue eye), successfully arrived on Earth and infiltrated the SRC Science Area while disguising themselves as SRC scientists. When Musashi and Hiura went to investigate, they were shrunken and put in a maze along with the rest of the scientists. Ghighi C (Blue Eye) told them that about 2000 billion of their species will migrate to Earth and coexist only with humans living as microorganisms. Musashi transformed into Cosmos and foiled the Ghighis' plans. He fought with Giant Ghighi outside as Hiura destroys their transporter, weakening Giant Ghighi, and Cosmos finished them with the Naybuster Beam. ^{Trap from Another Dimension}

While Professor Sawaguchi was conducting a teleportation experiment, she encountered the Ghighi Doctor XX01 who gave her a ring. Sawaguchi was later visited by Musashi, Shinobu and Hiura as the alien communicated to them through the translator on its chest and sought their help to stop the Ghighi invasion.

Once Ultraman Cosmos was trapped by the Soldier-type Ghighi that had became another version of Giant Ghighi, Dr Ghighi XX01 magnified Clevergon into a giant who later assisted Cosmos in finishing the villains. After the battle was over, Dr. Ghighi left and bid farewell. Hiura, who was jealous of Dr. Ghighi for giving Sawaguchi a ring, was then told that Dr. Ghighi XX01 was a female, but her masculine voice came from the translator on her chest and the ring she gave her earlier was a sign of her trust. ^{Ghighi vs Gon}

Trivia

• Voice actor: Moriya Endo
• Many aspects of Ghighi is based on Dada:
  • Both species have three faces (gigantic Ghighi only).
  • Both species possess shrink guns.
  • Their names are repeated katakana letters.
  • They have a habit of repeating their names.
  • Their main color scheme is black and white.
• Ghighi's geometric patterns were implemented by director Muraishi, since the episode 17's plot has elements of maze.
• Ghighi Dr. XX01's name references the XX chromosome combination responsible for female organisms in many different species, including humans.
• In Dark Lugiel's collection in Ultraman Ginga you can see Ghighi along with other monsters and aliens.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure

A trio of Soldier-Type Ghighi invaded the Planet Aval branch of ZAP SPACY base as they capture and imprison most of its members, including Io Mikura's father. Having been sent to this planet by accident, Io and his Pigmon companion found the Ghighi in the base and while being chased by them, one of the Ghighi's discarded shrink gun accidentally enlarged Pigmon to giant proportions. The Ghighis try to encounter this by fusing into a giant, but Io summoned his Gomora and killed them. Io and Pigmon would use the shrink gun they left behind to save the rest of the ZAP SPACY members.

The Mega Monster Battle: ULTRA MONSTERS story mode also adapted the story above, but with the addition of Ghighi actually in possession of an Eleking and a Neronga to help them in their fight.
