History

Showa era

Zone Fighter

Carnage! Zone and Godzilla vs. the Terror-Beats Allied Forces

Like several other Terror-Beasts, Kabutogirah had shrunk down into a capsule, and was loaded into a Terror-Beast Missile. This missile landed near Mina's house. The Zone Family had been searching for these capsules all day when Kabutogirah's capsule was discovered. Hikaru arrived, but it was too late, and Kabutogirah was released. Hikaru transformed into Zone Fighter, and they clashed! Eventually, Zone was successful, and went off towards the Okutama Mountains to seek out the remaining capsules.

Abilities

  • Kabutogirah can be shrunk down and placed into a capsule to avoid being detected. After three hours, the capsule will explode, and revert him back to normal.
  • Kabutogirah's forearms are a pair of massive swords, which he can use to slice or stab at opponents.
  • Kabutogirah can fire a stream of white mist from his mouth that either melts objects or causes explosions.
