Gomora[3][4] (ゴモラ Gomora) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, that first appeared in episode 26 of Tsuburaya Productions' 1966 series Ultraman.
Overview[edit]
Name[edit]
Gomora's name likely comes from a combination of Godzilla and Mothra's Japanese names. It is also derived from the city of Gomorrah from the Bible.
Shōwa period[edit]
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 first creature to defeat Ultraman, but would lose to Ultraman in its second fight.
Development[edit]
Gomora was designed by Tohl Narita, who based the monster's head on the helmet of the Kuroda Nagamasa.
