Dragon King (ドラゴンキング,   Doragon Kingu) is a kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 7 of the 1973 tokusatsu kaiju series Zone Fighter, titled "The Zone Family's Critical Moment!"

Design

Despite his name, Dragon King is more avian in appearance than what his name suggests. He has a large, feathered head with a beak and mandibles similar to Gigan's. He also has pincers for hands.

History

Zone Fighter

"The Zone Family's Critical Moment!"

Dragon King was deployed by the Garogas to destroy a dam and flood the city. His mission was short-lived though, as we was stopped in his tracks by Zone Fighter. After a short battle, the monster was defeated.

"The Terror-Beast Base: Invade the Earth!"

Dragon King appears via flashback as the Garogas contemplate the many defeats they have suffered at the hands of Zone Fighter. The two battle surrounded by red mist, with Dragon King offering no resistance as Zone Fighter pummels him. An unseen attack causes him to explode.

Abilities

Physical abilities

Dragon King possesses immense strength, he was able to move a large hill and stick in next to another in an attempt to squish and trap Zone Fighter after the hero was trapped underneath rubble. Even after the hero started to push it back he was able to meet the hero's strength. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), one of Dragon King's battle tactics is to run his enemies through the horns covering his body.

Pincers

Dragon King can use his sharp pincers in battle and just one backhand from one of his claws was able to send Zone Fighter falling backwards and daze him for a bit. When he combines his strength with his pincers he can punch through metal. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), Dragon King could sever a giant tanker in half.

Fire breath

Dragon King can emit a stream of flames from his mouth with the temperature being able to reach 10,000 degrees according to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume). The flames not only ignited objects but also caused large boulders and buildings to explode upon making contact. Despite its destructive properties it did not appear to harm Zone Fighter at all with the hero simply turning his back to prevent Dragon King from destroying a dam with his flames.
