History

Ultraman Taro

Volkeller was a Kaiju sleeping peacefully beneath a mountain. After repeatedly having a drill bore into his neck in search of water for a hot spring, he awoke and partly emerged to spray gas at Hayashida, the driller in question, before returning to sleep. Later, when Hayashida's son Takeshi reactivated the drill to purposefully smoke out Vokeller under the assumption the Kaiju had eaten his father, it awoke and finally fully emerged. Volkeller walked towards the mountain's legal owner, when he began shouting of how he owned the area and his plans for a hotel, seemingly to run him off, ceasing the chase after the owner fled. Next, Takeshi began hurling rocks at the suprisingly calm giant, provoking it to spray a seemingly harmless gas at the child, who continued throwing stones with barely any issue, before Kotaro dragged him off.

Kotaro Higashi then pole-vaulted onto his horn to find some kind of weak spot, ZAT then tried firing their weapons at him, but that was proved ineffective. Kotaro then used the Ultra Badge to transform into Ultraman Taro and attacked Volkeller. The Kaiju managed to dodge Taro's Strium Beam by flying away and used his gases to weaken him as he pounded him down. Taro then got back up and used an energy shield from his Taro Bracelet to prevent the gases from suffocating him. Under Takeshi's belief that the monster had swallowed his father, Taro then reached down Volkeller's mouth and brutally tore out what seemed to be it's stomach, spilling some "beads" that were in it, before looking right and noticing Hayashida had actually been unconscious off to the side on some rocks the whole time. Now dead, Taro threw Volkeller up into the air until he reached deep space where he blew up.^{Monster's Solo Journey}

Powers and Weapons

• Yellow Gas: Volkeller can emit a blinding yellow gas from his mouth.
• Pain Tolerance: While certainly bothered by it in the moment, Vokeller showed a shocking capacity to tolerate pain after whatever was causing it ceased making it worse, such as seemingly only turning in it's sleep or barely raising it's head with a drill attempting to bore into it's neck and then immediately slumbering again, and even when it fully pierced by and forced to carry it, Volkeller acted with relative calm (when not under direct attack or harassment) for a wounded beast, as opposed to rampaging as one would expect.
• Red Gas: Volkeller can create a red gas that emits from his entire body. However, other than using it to cloud himself from sight, this gas has no side effects.
• Explosive Gas: At first glance, this gas looks the same as his yellow gas. Like the normal yellow gas, it's emitted from the mouth. The biggest difference is that when this gas hits an enemy, they will be covered in small explosions.
