Design
Mogranda is mostly cybernetic with his entire head, upper body, and tail being made completely of silver colored metal. Mogranda's tail is rather stubby and possesses spikes that lead up to the midsection of his back, right below the drill. He also has added body parts, those being a large drill that's constantly spinning, implanted behind his neck and a long yellow serrated blade replacing his right hand. His left hand appears to be a curved metal yellow hand. Mogranda's organic parts are mainly his lower body and give the impression of a cybernetically modified reptilian bird monster with his beak and brownish-yellow scaled body. However the cyborg monster was actually created by two Silver Garoga fusing together.
Origins
According to Toho Special Effects: All Kaiju Illustrated Encyclopedia, Mogranda was born on Planet Garoga, the same homeworld as the Garogas.[2]

TBA
Abilities
Physical abilities
Mogranda possesses a serrated claw on his right hand. In battle, he initially charged at Zone Fighter and attempted to do both underhand and overhand swipes and slashs at Zone Fighter. After that, he managed to grasp the hero with his claw and threw the hero to the ground afterwards. When Zone was wrestling with Mogranda's claw, Mogranda slammed his fist into Zone's head, causing Zone to loose his footing. Mogranda continued to beat Zone with his hand before throwing the hero to the ground. After Zone Fighter was severely weakened, Mogranda began to kick the hero and slammed the hero back down with both his claw and hand repeatedly.
Fire breath
Mogranda can breathe a stream of fire from his beak, which can cause huge explosions when hitting the ground. Mogranda used these flames to attack a human sized Zone Fighter, with explosions going off wherever the flames had touched. After leaving Zone Fighter on the ground from his mist attack, Mogranda once again used his flames on the fallen hero who made several rolls to get out of the way of the flames, although he was left exhausted. Following that, Mogranda then began to unleash his flames on a neighboring town, setting fire to and blowing up numerous buildings. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), the temperature of the flames reach 2,000 degrees Celsius.[2]
Diamond Drill
Mogranda possesses a huge back drill, which according to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume) can spin 10,000 times a minute.[2] Mogranda used the drill in an attempt to gore Zone Fighter multiple times, but never managed to land a hit. Mogranda drill was however, able to send large chunks of rock and dirt flying hundreds of meters up after falling face first onto the ground.
Burrowing
Mogranda is able to burrow through the ground at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, as noted in All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume).[2]
Eye lightning
Mogranda can fire white bolts of lightning from his eyes. While never used in battle, they were employed to crack open a meteorite that came from space, allowing him to empower himself with the cosmic radiation.
Suction
After breaking open the meteorite, Mogranda began to suck up all the cosmic radiation from it with his beak
Explosive mist
After obtaining enough cosmic radiation from the meteorite, Mogranda was able to breathe an explosive red mist from his beak. This mist was able to obscure Zone Fighter's vision, but also created explosions that varied in size from small to large.[3] The initial explosion from when Mogranda first used his mist blew Zone Fighter backwards, and as more mist kept pouring on Zone, explosions went off across the hero's body pushing him back more, eventually leaving Zone Fighter on the ground in pain. After hearing Zone Fighter groan in pain, Mogranda ceased his efforts of destroying a town and focused back on Zone, spewing more of his explosive mist at the hero, which ended up flooring him.
Durability
Mogranda was shot by Zone Fighter's Maser Shot and was only briefly halted by it. Mogranda was sent to the ground by a Meteor Kick, although did not seemed to be harmed by it. Mogranda had trouble getting up after falling face first into the ground after attempting to gore Zone Fighter with his drill. After the control base that was controlling Hiroshi was destroyed, Mogranda froze up and began to thrash around before falling on the ground. Despite this, Mogranda survived a Meteor Proton Beam to the head and was finally killed after being shot with 2 volleys from Zone's Meteor Missile Might, which caused the mechanical terror-beast to explode.
Roar
Mogranda's roars appear to be derived from some of Keylla's roars, only to be slowed down.[4]
Trivia
