Gamera/Characters


This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable.

Some or all of these characters need descriptions. A list of tropes is not a description.

There aren't as many Kaiju in this series of films as Godzilla, but they are certainty memorable, so let's learn about them. The main page is here.

Kaiju

Gamera

Guardian of the Universe

Toto

Guardian of the Universe Jr.

Barugon

TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHERFUCKAA-!

Gyaos

I appeared in more films than you did!
  • Arch Enemy: To Gamera. At least in the Heisei series.
  • Breakout Villain: Appeared in more than one Showa film, which led to their revival in the Heisei era and further cemented their iconic image. They even cameo in Gamera The Brave!
  • Giant Flyer:
  • I'm a Humanitarian: In the Showa era, Gyaos ate humans and livestock for their blood. In the Heisei era, he just likes munching on them.
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Their cuttings beams are actually super sonic screams.
  • One-Gender Race: In the Heisei series, reproducing asexually.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Became the most frequent monster in the Heisei series.
  • Vampire Bites Suck: In the Showa era, the bites suck since you could be killed by a single chomp.
  • Weakened by the Light: The Showa version doesn't like the sun, and in fact would die if exposed to the ultraviolet rays for too long. The Heisei ones also preferred night at first but after growing protective eye plates they could fly during the day without much hassle.

Viras

Invading Squid FROM SPACE

Guiron

Angry Guard Guillotine

Jiger

"Gamera...you're pregnant. And I'm the mother."
  • Beware My Stinger Tail: Has a deadly stinger hidden in her tail she can use to implant her offspring in other monsters.
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy: Spends the entire film trying to destroy the one weapon capable of defeating her, impales Gamera's arms and knocks him on his back to disable him, and generally proved to be one of the most cunning foes Gamera has faced. In fact, she's the Gamera foe who came the closest to killing him in the Showa Era!
  • Disintegrator Ray: Her heat ray vaporizes flesh and entire city blocks. Doesn't have the same affect on Gamera, but still damaging nonetheless.
  • Female Monster Surprise: Her gender is discovered when she implanted an egg in Gamera's lung. And it hatched.
  • Face Full of Alien Wingwong: Implanted an egg into Gamera's lung, stunning him. It hatched in his lung and would have probably made its insides a meal if the heroes hadn't killed it.
  • Hell Is That Noise: In-Universe, her main weakness is an idol that makes a sound that's able to both weaken her and cause severe illness in humans. White noise is also discovered to be this to her. Her Disintegrator Ray also opperates on this.
  • Monster Is a Mommy: And she will use the nearest monster as the incubator for that egg. Gamera is free.
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast: In-Universe, her name is described as a Mu word meaning Devil.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Was sealed away under the earth by the Devil Whistle thanks to it making a special sound which weakens her, keeping her in suspended animation.
  • Superpower Lottery: Can shoot quills that keep Gamera in place and take down jets, a massively destructive heat ray, the ability to suck opponents toward her, and impregnate opponents with her stinger tail.

Zigra

Invading Shark FROM SPACE

Garasharp

THIS IS FOR CANCELING MY MOVIE!
  • Breath Weapon: She could have possibly breathed fire or let out poisonous smoke.
  • Monster Is a Mommy: Upon dying, two babies wriggled out and Gamera rescued them from the military, since he's the friend of monster children as well!
  • Multiple Head Case: One plan for her was to have two heads.
  • Poisonous Person: One of her proposed powers was unleash a poisonous smog.
  • What Could Have Been: Her entire story. Her movie was being planned when Daei fell into bankruptcy. One of her powers was a Sonic Rattler.

Legion

Queen of the Swarm
  • Alien Invasion: Though the conflict comes from the fact the conditions perfect for the Legion are negligable to the humans and the human technology interferes with Legion communication.
  • Bee People: Her soldiers are this. They even seem to reside in a Honeycomb-like part of her body.
  • Giant Flyer: Played straight with the soldiers, but the queen gets her wings destroyed soon after her appearance and relies on burrowing thereafter.
  • Hive Queen
  • I Am Legion: One of the characters quotes from the bible passage and that's the creatures' name from then on.
  • Not So Stoic: Upon her horns being ripped off, she goes ballistic and starts using red energy whips!
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Upon her horns being ripped off which reveals she's Not So Stoic.
  • Tunnel King: Her ability after being dewinged.
