History

Showa era

Daigoro vs. Goliath

Goliath crashed on Earth in an asteroid and was attacked by Daigoro. Daigoro put up a fight, but Goliath used his horn and nearly killed him. Goliath attacked a few cities, and he stopped to rest on an island. During his rest, the humans put a parachute over Goliath's horn, which stopped it from using electrical powers. He attacked Daigoro, but he was knocked out by Daigoro's flame breath. Goliath was then sent back to space when he was tied to rockets.

Abilities

  • Goliath has a Nasal Horn which he uses to attack.
  • Goliath can inflict electric shocks with his horn. However, if his horn is covered by material, it becomes useless.
  • Goliath is an extraordinary jumper.

Trivia
