Cycor (싸이커 Ssaikeo) is an extraterrestrial reptile kaiju that appears in the 1999 film Reptilian.
Name
The monster's Korean name is Ssaikeo (싸이커), which was translated to Cyker in the marketing for Reptilian's 2001 re-release.[1] In the film, which was shot entirely in English, his name is instead pronounced with an 'o' vowel, and is rendered "Cycor" in the closed captions on home video and streaming. A bonus feature on the American DVD release offers the spelling Cykor. For the film's Japanese release, Cycor's name was changed to Sasorigues (サソリゲス Sasorigesu), likely derived from the Japanese word for "scorpion": sasori (
History
Reptilian
The Galaxions launched Cycor from their ship. Cycor crashed into the Earth like a meteor, causing a large explosion and knocking Yonggary off his feet. Yonggary noticed something approaching him from underground, just before it suddenly stopped and Cycor rose from the ground. Cycor attacked Yonggary, knocking him to the ground. A soldier distracted Cycor, which gave Yonggary enough time to get up. Cycor attempted to crush the soldier with his arm, but Yonggary blew it up with a fireball. Tentacles grew from Cycor's wound and wrapped around Yonggary, then discharged an electrical surge, which made Yonggary fall down. Cycor shot a fireball at Yongarry, but the monster dodged it then fired back and blew up Cycor's head. More tentacles grew from the wound and launched toward Yonggary, but Yonggary dodged the attack and bit them off. Yonggary then shot a fireball into the wound where Cycor's head once was, making him explode into pieces.
Abilities
Snapping claws
Cycor's two uppermost arms are equipped with powerful snapping claws.
Fire beam
Cycor can breathe concentrated beams of fire out of his mouth.
Electric bolts
Cycor can discharge bolts of electricity from its forked tail.
Tendrils and limb loss
If any of Cycor's limbs are removed, electrically-charged tendrils will coil out of the wound to continue fighting.
Animation
Even if Cycor's head is cut off, the body still possesses enough energy to continue on its fight. When Cycor's head was chopped off in Reptillian, long tentacles or tendrills came out the head and wrapped itself around Yonggary.
