Mogranda (モグランダ,   Moguranda) is a drill kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 16 of the 1973 tokusatsu kaiju series, Zone Fighter titled Terrifying Attack! The Garoga Robot.

Design

Mogranda is mostly cybernetic with his entire head, upper body, and tail being made completely of metal. He also has added body parts, those being a large drill implanted behind his neck and a long blade replacing his right hand. Mogranda's organic parts give the impression of a cybernetically modified reptilian bird monster with his beak and 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]

Abilities

Physical capabilites

Mogranda possesses a serrated claw on his right hand. In battle, he uses it to swipe, slash, and even grasp Zone Fighter.

Fire breath

Mogranda can breathe a stream of fire from his beak, which can cause huge explosions when hitting the ground. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), the temperature of the flames reach 2,000 degrees.[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 but never managed to land a hit, although it was 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]

Explosive mist

After obtaining enough cosmic radiation from the meteorite, Mogranda can breathe an explosive red mist which was able to obscure Zone Fighter's vision, but also created explosions that varied in size from small to large.[3]

Eye lightning

Moguranda can fire white bolts of lightning from his eyes. While never used in battle, they were employed to crack open a meteorite he came from, allowing him to empower himself with the cosmic radiation.

Roar

Mogranda's roars appear to be derived from some of Kiyla's roars, Only to be slowed down.[4]
