Shipdraw (シップドロー,   Shippudorō) is a kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 10 of the 1973 tokusatsu kaiju series Zone Fighter, titled "Zone Fighter Annihilated."

Design

Shipdraw resembles a cross between an octopus and a starfish. He has a large head with three eyes on the top of it, and long sucker-covered tendrils extending from it, obscuring his bulbous body. He has relatively fat legs, and thin arms. He also has red armor plating on his torso.

History

Showa era

Zone Fighter

"Zone Fighter Annihilated"

Shipdraw was sent by the Garogas as a distraction to make Zone Fighter grow giant. They battled and Shipdraw was left injured on the ground.

Right when Zone was about to leave, Shadorah's energy caused him to collapse. This bought the two monsters some time to escape and recover.

Abilities

Physical abilities

Shipdraw destroyed buildings by stomping on them. Shipdraw has a very soft body, which enabled him to withstand any blunt attacks from Zone Fighter. During their fight, Shipdraw used his tentacles to smack and slap around the hero.

Electricity

According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), Shipdraw can electrify the tentacles on his head and hands.[3]

Needles

According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), Shipdraw has poisonous needles on his tentacles.[3]

Trivia

  • Shipdraw is one of the few Terror-Beasts to survive combat with Zone Fighter, as Shadorah led him away after he was injured during the fight and he was not seen again.
