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 stand 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
