Custom Jellar (カスタムジュラー,   Kasutamu Jurā) is an alien mollusk kaiju created by Toho that appeared in the 1973 episode 21 of Zone Fighter, "Invincible! Godzilla Enraged!"

Name

Custom Jellar's name is a combination of "Custom", likely a reference to how he's a clone, and "Jellar" referencing the kaiju who he originated from. Jellar's name is in turn derived from Planet Jellarl.

Origins

Custom Jellar grew from a torn piece of Jellar's tentacle during its battle with Godzilla and Zone Fighter in the suburbs of Tokyo.[2]

History

Showa era

Zone Fighter

"Invincible! Godzilla Enraged!"

While fighting Jellar, Godzilla tore off a part of one of the mollusk's tentacles, throwing it behind him as he continued to maul Jellar. Unbeknownst to him, the discarded tentacle quickly grew into Custom Jellar. Helping its brother, it rushed into combat and tackled Godzilla on sight, knocking the reptilian to the ground. It fought bravely, but in the end its life was short lived, as it was crushed and beaten by both Godzilla and Zone Fighter. Jellar and Custom Jellar were finished off by a combination of Godzilla's atomic breath and Zone's Meteor Proton Beam, reducing both mollusks to smoldering piles of flesh that eventually melted away.

Abilities

Physical abilities

Custom Jellar did not demonstrate any special abilities, simply body-slamming his enemies during combat as well as swinging around his tentacles. Custom Jellar was able to floor Godzilla however, by running into the reptilian while Godzilla was preoccupied with Jellar. He was also shown swiping at Godzilla with tentacles, and was able to briefly grapple against Zone Fighter with his them before being kicked away.

Intelligence

Custom Jellar was smart enough to recognize that Jellar was an ally of his, and promptly rescued his progenitor by ramming into Godzilla, knocking the reptilian over. He encouraged Jellar to keep spraying his acid mist on Godzilla by slamming his tentacles together.

Durability

Custom Jellar was able to withstand numerous physical blows from both Godzilla and Zone Fighter, including kicks, punches, and being thrown to the ground. He was also able to endure a body slam from Godzilla while also having Jellar stuck on top of him. He was floored when attempting to get back up after Jellar fell on top of him after his progenitor was thrown into the air and blasted with Godzilla's atomic breath. Custom Jellar was finally killed alongside Jellar after being hit with a combination of Godzilla's atomic breath and two volleys from Zone's Meteor Missile Might.
