Gabora (ガボラ Gabora) is a Kaiju that first appeared in episode nine of the 1966 television series Ultraman.
Development[]
Concept of Gabora
With Tsuburaya Productions on a tight schedule for the production of Ultraman, the production team decided to reuse the Baragon suit once more, which was previously used to portray the monster Neronga from episode three. Tohl Narita drew the monster's concept art, designing the head, which had six large, armor-like plates and a rounded face.
Unlike Neronga, Gabora's body had the fins from Neronga removed and a new head modeled after Tohl Narita's concept art. Shortly after its portrayal as Gabora, the suit was modified back to Neronga for promotional photos. Afterwards, the Baragon suit was returned back to Toho.

A variety of subterranean Kaiju that feeds on Uranium-235 and fires a Uranium Beam from its mouth to attack.
After the Izu Peninsula was damaged by Typhoon 13, Gabora came above ground at the national highway restoration site located near uUranium mines in Unari Ttown. It attacked the town and then began heading towards the uranium storage facility in neighboring Abe Ttown. The SSSP and Self Defense Force heold a joint defensive line and attacked Gabora with flamethrowers, at which point it changeds direction and beganins heading for a scout troop camp facility.
Hayata pilots a helicopter loaded with a uranium capsule to lead Gabora 30km away from the camp to the mountains and save the children, only for Gabora to crash down the helicopter with its front legs. Ultraman arrives on the scene for a fierce battle against Gabora where our hero tears off its dorsal fins and throws Gabora aside after which it takes its last breath.
