Overview

Gomora is an ancient dinosaur about 40 metres (130 ft) tall and weighing 20,000 metric tons from the Shōwa period.[3]

Name

Gomora's name likely comes from a combination of Godzilla and Mothra's Japanese names.

Shōwa period

Gomora debuts in episode 26 of the original Ultraman series, in which it is a descendant of the Gomorasaurus species and escapes Scientists that attempt to display him at the Osaka Expo.[2] It was one of the few creatures to defeat Ultraman. It would lose to Ultraman in a second fight.

Development

Gomora was designed by Tohl Narita, who based the monster's head on the helmet of the Kuroda Nagamasa.
