Yonggary Template:Hangugeo is an ancient reptile Template:Kaiju created by Keukdong Entertainment who first appeared in the 1967 tokusatsu Template:Kaiju film, Yonggary.
History
Yonggary
Yonggary was an ancient reptile who was awoken by a bomb going off in the Middle East, and a resultant earthquake which traveled through the Earth to his underground home. He rampaged across South Korea in search of gasoline and oil, his favorite foods. After an attack on a refinery in which Yonggary displays a weakness to ammonia, the South Korean government lure him to a river by covering it in oil, and then covers Yonggary in the ammonia when he arrives. Yonggary dies an excruciating death through bleeding from most of his orifices, leaving South Korea safe once more.
Reptilian
In this incarnation, Yonggary is a 200-million-year-old giant dinosaur, approximately fifty times the size of a tyrannosaurus rex, that is reanimated by aliens set upon taking over the Earth. Upon reanimation, the aliens use Yonggary to attack several cities and cause destruction. When the military find a way to break Yonggary from the aliens' control over him, the aliens send their personal monster, Cykor, to battle Yonggary. Yonggary eventually defeats Cykor and the aliens retreat. The next day, the military transports Yonggary to an island where he may adjust to the new world he was in.
Abilities
Durability
In the film Reptilian, Yonggary was immensely durable, able to shrug off attacks from jet fighters and airborne soldiers. His durability also granted him great strength, enough to even keep a building from collapsing onto the ground below.
Fire Breath
Yonggary can breathe a concentrated stream of fire from his mouth.
Fireball Generation
Yonggary also displayed the ability to produce fireballs from his mouth. It is unknown how many he can fire at any one time, but they possessed enough force to destroy jets and kill Cykor.
Horn Beam
In his debut film, Yonggary was able to fire a thin, yellow beam from his horn that could slice through almost anything. However, it was only used once.
Weaknesses
Despite Yonggary's impressive durability and abilities, he has one major weakness: ammonia. This was shown when Yonggary was having a reaction during an attack on the oil refineries. This causes him to start itching about.
Using a more, refined concentrate of ammonia was enough to kill him through causing him to bleed violently from most of his orifices. Albeit, this was only exploited in the original film.

Trivia
- In Reptilian, Yonggary's height is estimated at "fifty times the size of a T-Rex". As the largest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen currently known is just over 4 meters tall at the hip, this would place Yonggary as being around 200 meters tall.
