Although no concept art for the monster is known to exist, King Balgan is described as having a body which glows a bronze color, golden scales, and dog-like ears which can pin back or perk up.[1]

History

Showdown in Zanpamisaki: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

King Balgan would have participated in a final battle against Mechagodzilla and Gigan, alongside Godzilla and Anguirus. It would have at one point absorbed the "space energy" of Mechagodzilla through its right eye and fired it back from its left eye.[1]

Abilities

Lava stream

King Balgan would have been able to fire a stream of golden lava from its mouth.[1]

Reflective scales

King Balgan would have possessed gold protective scales on its body, which could rebound the attacks of its opponents.[2]

Energy reflection

Similar to King Caesar, King Balgan would have had the ability to absorb enemy laser fire through its right eye and fire it back from its left.[2]
