Design
Wargilgar is a long-necked, spiny creature which vaguely resembles crustaceans and insects. He has a grey-brown body with flaps of skin above his legs, and fronds above his arms which look somewhat like seaweed. Like Spyler, he has two-toed feet and claws for hands. His belly and neck are dark orange, and he has an orange, crescent-shaped head. Wargilgar's neck is covered in spines, and he has two orange antennae at the back of his head. His eyes are bright green and supported on stalks.
History
Zone Fighter
"Invasion! Garoga's Grand Army: Godzilla Appears"
One day, a strange object fell from the sky during a meteor shower. The Zone Family came to investigate, and encounter a ghost from their past. Sachio, a childhood friend of Hotaru, appears to have survived the destruction of Planet Peaceland. While returning home that night, Wargilgar first appears, and Hikaru transforms into Zone Fighter to fight Wargilgar. Wargilgar at first keeps Zone at bay by firing his double barrel chest cannon, but Zone gets the upper hand and starts throwing Wargilgar around. At the last second, before Wargilgar is destroyed by Zone's Meteor Missile Might, Sachio captures the kaiju in a strange device. Eventually, Sachio is revealed as a Garoga assassin, and releases Wargilgar once more. Zone launches himself into a TV and arrives in the danger zone. Zone is badly injured from a failed trap perpetuated by the Garogas. Wargilgar at first fought Zone on his own, until another Garoga transformed into his ally, Spyler. The two dastardly monsters fought relentlessly against Zone, with Wargilgar almost killing him, until Godzilla arrived. The timely intervention of Godzilla's heat ray quickly burnt Wargilgar to a crisp.
