He has 4 fingers on each hand and 4 toes on each foot. His feet, hands, and head look very small in proportion to his body.
History
Assault! Human!!
What is the Human
Jairock fought Junichiro Iwaki but was ultimately defeated.
Go! Greenman
Greenman vs. Jairock
Jairock was the seventh monster to battle Greenman. Jairock and Tonchiki went to a road seeking out the children. After receiving instructions from Tonchiki, Jairock chased the kids until one of the Green Calls was used, attracting Greenman into the fight. Greenman and Jairock clashed, but Greenman was quickly overpowered. But, Greenman didn't admit defeat, but rather grew to giant size in an effort to destroy the monster. Jairock grew as well, and the two fought on the side of a cliff. Again, Greenman was beat by Jairock's attacks. Luckily, Greenman was able to grab a hold of Jairock's tail and threw the monster to the ground, killing him. But, Maoh revived the monster who used a supersonic wave attack to weaken Greenman. Although greatly affected by the attack, Greenman still pressed on and was able to destroy Jairock with the Breaster attack.

Trivia
- Jairock strongly resembles Red King, a monster from Ultraman. This is likely due to creature designer Toru Narita working on both shows.
- Jairock also vaguely resembles Hoe, a negativity monster from Ultraman 80. However, since Assault! Human!! and Go! Greenman both aired long before these two series, it is likely that this is just a coincidence.
