History

Ultraman Tiga

King Molerat was an average molerat until it mutated after consuming underground waste material that was abandoned by man. King Molerat came to the surface to feed on livestock from a nearby Zoo, but due to the bright sunlight the monster was weakened by its intense brightness and so went to sleep to pass the time. Once night came, King Molerat awoke and began a bloodthirsty rampage in search of food, setting its sights on cows of a nearby farmer. GUTS tried to stop the monster without doing too much harm to it, realizing it was only a mutated animal, but King Molerat's hunger made their efforts futile.

Eventually, Daigo Madoka transformed into Ultraman Tiga and was able to hold off the King Molerat in his Power Type. Just as Tiga was about to kill King Molerat with the Zeperion Beam, he was stopped by Rena Yanase of GUTS, who pleaded that the Ultra Warrior spare the monster. With that in mind, Tiga used a Cell Change Beam to reduce King Molerat into a smaller and harmless version of it. It was later named simply Molerat by Horii and placed at the petting zoo.

Trivia

  • Suit actor: Daisuke Kanemitsu
  • King Molerat's roar is a combination of turkey sounds and Gazort's roar.
Deutalios

"Deutalios"

  • Several online sources mistake King Molerat for the Toho Monster, Deutalios, a monster whom was scheduled to appear in the film Godzilla vs. Biollante but was scrapped from the proposed film. This is due to a famous online source website known as TohoKingdom whom have made an altercation to King Molerat's appearance. They have stated on their biography of Deutalios that the image was altered for a more ideal appearance of what the monster would look like, despite the fact that ample amounts of concept art exist depicting Deutalios's true design, which is only vaguely similar to King Molerat. Sources continue to mistake the altered picture for the legitimate appearance of the scrapped monster. As a result of this and numerous other examples of misinformation on the site (most famously the fakery of Godzilla vs. The Devil), the site has earned a reputation as unreliable and incorrect.
