Zandora (ザンドラ Zandora) is a kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 15 of Zone Fighter, Submersion! Godzilla, Save Tokyo!
Name
Zandora's name may be derived from zando (残土), a Japanese word referring to earth dug out from a construction site.
Design
Zandora's skin is a light blue color. His head is a light beige color and is shaped like a drill. He has no eyes, mouth, or any others features of a face. The tip of his drill head is the same color as his claw-like hands which are a dark brown. He has a long tail which is also his skin color. His knee caps and parts of his arms are a darker blue color.
Origins
According to Toho Special Effects: All Kaiju Illustrated Encyclopedia, Zandora was born on Planet Garoga, the same homeworld as the Garogas.[2]
History
Showa era
Zone Fighter
Zandora is being used by the Garogas to dig tunnels, with the intention of creating a huge sinkhole that will cause Tokyo to fall underground. When Zone Fighter finally confronts Zandora, the monster easily defeats Zone Fighter and buries him underground. It looked like all hope was lost for Zone Fighter until Godzilla comes to help him out. Godzilla and Zone Fighter begin to fight Zandora together, who is finished off by Zone Fighter's Meteor Proton Beam.
Abilities
Physical abilities
For melee combat, Zandora sticks to basic hard-hitting punches. He can also use his drill head in battle, and can either use it to bury his opponents like he did Zone Fighter, or simply use it as a weapon. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), Zandora's hands can slice through 5 million tons and are called Shovel Cutters (ショベルカッター Shoberukatta).[2]
Steam
Zandora is also capable of emitting steam from his hands that is strong enough to ward off opponents. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), the temperature reaches 9,000 degrees and is laced with Murderous Microid Drugs (ミクロイド殺人薬入り Mikuroido Satsujin-Yaku-Iri).[2] Zandora is also capable of emitting steam from the tubes on his neck, although this was never used in combat.
Roar
Zandora uses broken Tyrant roars.
