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.
