How Can We Help?
Gomora[3][4] (ゴモラ, Gomora) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, that first appeared in episode 26 of Tsuburaya Productions' 1966 series Ultraman.
Overview
Name
Gomora's name likely comes from a combination of Godzilla and Mothra's Japanese names. It is also derived from the city of Gomorrah from the Bible.
Shōwa period
Gomora debuts in episode 26 of the original Ultraman series, in which it is a descendant of the Gomorasaurus species and escapes Scientists that attempt to display him at the Osaka Expo.[2] It was one of the first creature to defeat Ultraman, but would lose to Ultraman in its second fight.
Development
Gomora was designed by Tohl Narita, who based the monster's head on the helmet of the Kuroda Nagamasa.
