Dororin (ドロリン Dororin) is a shapeshifting kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1997 television series Godzilla Island. He is the primary antagonist of the show's 16th story arc.
Design
Dororin is a small, glowing blue orb. After absorbing dirt from Matango Island, he is portrayed by an 8-inch figure of the monster Kumasogami, only brown with yellow highlights instead of black with red highlights.
Name
Dororin's name bears a similarity to the Japanese onomatopoeic term Dorodoro (ドロドロ), used to denote the sound of something flowing.[1] This is fitting, given Dororin's primary ability to shapeshift.
History
Godzilla Island
After Landes unsuccessfully tried to persuade Gigan to join her in conquering Godzilla Island, the Giant Dark Emperor provided her with a new kaiju pawn, Dororin. He landed on Matango Island and absorbed dirt from his surroundings to construct a monstrous body. Spotting Gigan, he transformed into Godzilla and smashed a rock over the cyborg's head. He then took on Gigan's form and flew off to Godzilla Island, where he bashed Godzilla with a rock as well.
Now convinced each had attacked the other, Godzilla and Gigan fought it out. Meanwhile, Dororin targeted G-Guard Base with his eye lasers. Beisuke Jinguji, at the controls of Mechagodzilla, managed to blast him to pieces, but the kaiju instantly reformed. As Misato Jinguji analyzed Dororin's composition, Nao Koda used Moguera to convince Godzilla and Gigan to join forces against the real threat. Godzilla arrived first, with Gigan bailing him out as Dororin's teleportation ability proved formidable. Mechagodzilla withdrew and Misato announced their foe's weakness: water. Piloting Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar, she used a giant fire hose to turn the dirt surrounding Dororin to mud. He tried to fly away, only to be shattered by Gigan.
