Gororin (ゴロリン is a cactus ball Gororin)kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 180 of Godzilla Island, "I Must Know The Secret." It is the primary antagonist of the show's 17th story arc.
Origins
Before Landes deployed it to Godzilla Island, Gororin was a small potted Gymnocalyium, or chin cactus.
History
Godzilla Island
- Godzilla Island (TV 1997-1998) [episodes 180-188]
Landes sends Gororin to Godzilla Island to spread terror. At first the island's residents are fascinated by it, with Mechagodzilla even putting up a sign to recognize the new landmark. A suspicious Anguirus visits it at night, and is promptly attacking by a hail of spines which glance off his carapace. As Anguirus counters, Gororin goes dormant again, and the noise wakes up the rest of the island. The G-Guard Commander scolds Anguirus for menacing a plant, and the monster withdraws, humiliated.
The next day, Gororin turns on the other monsters, rolling around the island and firing off more spines. Godzilla's atomic ray is only able to stop it for a few seconds; it even bowls over a six-monster defensive formation. When it reaches a sleeping Anguirus, however, it just bounces off. The G-Guard Commander arrives in Mechagodzilla to deliver an apology to Anguirus in person, only for Gororin to attempt to flatten him. Anguirus intervenes, pinning the cactus against a mountain. Godzilla, Gorosaurus, Baragon, and King Caesar try to help, but Gororin's spines keep them at bay. Fortunately, Lao arrives in Moguera with a special type of weed killer smeared on one of the robot's hands. Upon injection, all of Gororin's spines fall off. Anguirus passes it to Godzilla, who tail-whips it into Landes' ship, destroying the cactus and forcing her to retreat.
