Gogola is a reptilian kaiju that first appeared in the 1966 kaiju film, Gogola.
Design
Gogola's design is reminiscent of those from Gorgo and Godzilla, being a reptilian kaiju that stands upright on its hind legs. It features long, almost humanoid arms with four fingers on each hand.It posseses a short and stumpy tail, and it's head is bulky, with two small black eyes and long, sharph teeth, reminiscent of those from goblin sharks.
History
Gogola
In his first appearance, the giant reptile rises from the ocean, terrorizing some tourists on one of Mumbai's beaches. The autorities at first deny the kaiju's existence, and later, when compelled to take action, chase Gogola all the way to the sea-shore. The kaiju retreats to Bombay's Wellington Pier, and starts attacking the city, flooding it's streets with water. The military tries to defeat the reptilian monster, but Gogola destroys most of it.
Finally, in a last confrontation, the military kills Gogola.
Abilities
Great Strength
Due to it's great size and weight, Gogola, much like any other giant monster, posseses great strength and power.
Fire Breath
According to the film’s censor script, Gogola was able to shoot a "fiery breath" from it's mouth. This can also be seen in the movie's poster, although the beam comes from Gogola's nostrils.
Amphibiousness
Gogola is amphibious, meaning that it can transport itself both in water and land.
Weaknesses
Gogola is not inmune to fire arms, and this eventually causes it's death on the hands of the military.
