Design

Gelderah bears resemblance to a beaked dragon, and also has features of an insect such as the large antennae protruding from his forehead. He also has pointed, elf-like ears for hearing and his brain is visible in between them which glows red and orange. His scales are yellow and blue.

History

Zone Fighter

"Defeat the Invader of Fear!"

After a Garoga Terror-Missile had crashed into a lake and Zone Fighter had stopped the activity of the Garoga agents nearby, the missile exploded and released the Red Headed Terror-Beast Gelderah. Zone Fighter grew to giant size and engaged Gelderah in an epic battle, concluding with Zone Fighter cutting the monster's head off with a level 2 Arrow Beam.

Geldarah can breath a corrosive mist from his mouth that can cause explosions or set anything it contacts ablaze. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), this attack is called a White-Hot Ray (白熱光線,   Hakunetsu Kosen).[3]

Teeth

Gelderah possesses sharp teeth which he can utilize to grip an opponent, albeit painfully.
