History

Ultraman 80

Saramandora HD 001

[6]

A tool of destruction used by the Alien Gorgon, Saramandora went on a rampage in Tokyo. Buildings crumbled into piles of debris as it assaulted everything in sight, and UGM's weapons were proving useless against the beast. Within the Silver Gull, Takeshi Yamato recklessly splits into two where Kazuki Oyama was lured as a bait and Yamato took the opportunity to attack its throat, causing Saramandora to explode. Little did UGM know was that Saramandora was basically a bait that the Alien Gorgon operatives used to sneak into Japan undetected by slipping into one of its cells. The surviving cell was where the Gorgons emerged from and constantly carried around.

After their plan to frame Oyama failed and their presence exposed, the Gorgons were forced to combine with Saramandora's cell to reform the monster again. After it managed to counter the Formation Yamato trick, Ultraman 80 was forced into action to contend with the beast. The monster’s cannon blasts were no use against such a being, but when he switched to his flames, the giant put up a shield and fought back, eventually using the Succium Beam, but it did little against the creature. Surprised by this, Ultraman 80 used Ultra Eye Spot on Saramandora's unprotected throat and incinerated the monster to make sure that neither of its remains nor the Alien Gorgons could survive.Knockout! Formation Yamato!

Trivia

  • Saramandora's roar is a reused roar of the Toho monster Maguma .
  • Saramandora's suit would later be used for Lavras.

Ultraman Mebius

Saramandora 2006 HD 001

Saramandora, as seen in Ultraman Mebius[7]

Saramandora's history is never explained as he ambushes both Mirai and Serizawa (Ultraman Mebius and Hikari's human forms). Both quickly assumed their Ultra forms, with Mebius managing to toss Saramandora aside and used his Mebium Shoot to finish him quickly. However, Saramandora's armored-plated skin allowed him to shrug it off and then he beat Mebius to the ground, so Hikari fought the monster. Hikari had little to no trouble beating and tossing Saramandora around and then finished it off with a quick slash from his Knight Beam Blade, which seemingly destroyed Saramandora.

At first it seemed Saramandora was destroyed, but in fact was still alive due to regeneration. (Not every single cell was destroyed when Hikari "destroyed" him with his blade.) Saramandora later returned that day to resume his rampage. Team GUYS tried to take care of the monster themselves but were no match for Saramandora. Ultraman Hikari later returned and tried to take Saramandora by himself, but was beaten down by the monster. Once GUYS found Saramandora's weak spot under his chin they struck it, stunning Saramandora temporarily. With that opening, Ultraman Mebius returned to aid Hikari and together they both destroyed Saramandora completely by blasting him with the Mebium Shoot and the Knight Shoot together.Formation of Our Vow

After the destruction of Alien Empera and Ultraman Mebius left Earth, things on Earth seemed to quiet down. However, this would not last long as the monster Saramandora suddenly appeared. GUYS acted quickly and managed to injure Saramandora by hitting the soft spot under his neck. After some clever tactics Saramandora exploded, but he was only one of a few monsters revived by Armored Darkness.Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Armored Darkness

Trivia

  • Alongside other revived monsters in the Gaiden, this Saramandora basically reuses the clips from the original series.
  • Like other reappearing monsters in Ultraman Mebius, Saramandora has stock dinosaur roars mixed in that debuted in the 1957 film, The Land of Unknown.

Saramandora is partnered with the monsters Nova and Lunaticks and all three monsters were guarding a military base that had supplies that the ZAP SPACY needed for their ship. Rei sent Gomora as the ZAP SPACY retrieved the parts they needed. Gomora easily destroyed Nova, vaporizing him instantly with the Ultra Oscillation Wave, but Saramandora and Lunaticks double-teamed Gomora and beat him down. Before the battle could progress much further, both Saramandora and Lunaticks were destroyed by the appearance of four black ships that would immediately reveal themselves to be a malfunction robot from Planet Pedan.Unexpected Reunion

Trivia

  • During the opening credits to the series, Saramandora is seen battling Eleking, even though neither monster fought or met each other in the series.
  • When Gomora battled him and grabbed his head, Saramandora has a Rodan cry mixed in.
  • In the first episode of Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle, when Oki shows Haruna Chandlar on his computer, Saramandora's silhouette from Ultraman Mebius can be seen along with Gudon, Birdon, Twin Tail, Vakishim, and Alien Mefilas.

Dorako, Saramandora, and Bemstar

Saramandora was partnered up with the monsters Dorako and Bemstar, acting as their leader, when Alien Shaplay ambushed the Ultra Brothers. However, they were met by surprise from Dan's capsule monsters Windom, Miclas, and Agira. Saramandora fought Windom.

After Rei and Mirai were rescued, Windom destroyed Saramandora with his Laser Shot.Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie

Trivia

  • In the original screenplay, Saramandora was originally supposed to battle Agira.
  • Saramandora makes part of Belyudra's left arm.

Ultraman Ginga

Saramandora's Spark Doll was seen in Dark Lugiel's collection alongside Giant Yapool, Birdon, Super C.O.V., Kanegon, Dark Zagi and many others.

In episode 7, he along with many other Spark Dolls are seen cheering Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos. It is likely that Saramandora returned to space in his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.

Ultraman X

Saramandora appeared in the series as a Spark Doll along with King Crab, Sadola, and two others recovered by Xio from an unknown mission.My Friend's a Monster

In the final episode of Ultraman X, after Greeza destroyed the Xio base, Saramandora's Spark Doll was absorbed by Greeza. After speaking out to Gomora and striking Greeza right in the center of his chest, Saramandora, along with all of the other Spark Dolls, traveled to X and united with him. Saramandora's power was used to help form the Hybrid Armor and power up the Ultimate Xanadium to defeat Greeza once and for all. Saramandora, along with the numerous other Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls, then appeared and thanked Daichi as he thanked them.The Rainbow Land

Stats
  • Height: 60 m
  • Weight: 40,000 t
  • Origin: Planet Gorgon
  • Attack: 800
  • Defense: 800
  • Speed: 900
  • Weakness: The red spot underneath Saramandora's chin is unprotected and very tender. Attacking it is enough to detonate Saramandora into pieces. However, stronger attacks would also worked better by incinerating any of its remains from being salvaged.
Powers and Weapons
  • Saramanic Fire (サラマニックファイヤー, Saramanikku Faiyā): Saramandora can exhale a deadly, super-heated stream of fire, estimated to be over 13,000 degrees, breathed from his mouth and nostrils that can make buildings explode.
  • Fireballs: By gathering up heat in his mouth, Saramandora can fire powerful fireballs.
  • Organic Missile Cannon Blasts: When needed, Saramandora can fire several cannon-like, missile-strength missile blasts from his mouth in rapid succession. They have little effect on other monsters.
  • Regeneration: Thanks to a unique enzyme generated by an organ in his throat, Saramandora has a powerful form of regeneration that allows it to heal small wounds quickly and large damage in just hours. Not only can he heal wounds, but if his body is destroyed, even if just one cell remains, he can regenerate in hours.
  • Armored Skin: Saramandora's hide skin is covered in a type of thick armor that is strong enough to resist some energy attacks, like Ultraman 80's energy attacks and the Mebium Shoot, and can stand up to multiple finisher beams before finally going down, allowing him to survive energy based attacks. However, the area under his jaw isn't protected and if struck, can stun Saramandora greatly.
  • Saramander Tail (サラマンダーテイル, Saramandā Teiru): The end of Saramandora's tail is flattened and has spikes protruding from it. He can whip foes with great force.
Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie
  • Burrowing: Saramandora is able to burrow underground.
ULTRA MONSTERS
  • Burning Rain (バーニングレイン, Bāningu Rein): Saramandora charges and launch a fireball to the sky as it disperses and rains on the opponent.
