Monster Profile: GYANGO (Ultraman)

GYANGO

(ギャンゴ, Gyango)

Classification: Brain Wave Monster

A rock from space that can transform into whatever the holder wills ends up in the hands of a gangster. He wills it to become a bizarre giant monster dubbed Gyango. He uses Gyango to terrorize the Japanese suburbs. Unfortunately, when the gangster is put into a coma, Gyango doesn't disappear.

Ultraman is deployed to stop Gyango's wave of destruction. Fighting with a goofy, playful style, Gyango battles with Ultraman until the Science Patrol can find a way to wake the gangster from his coma and sever the mental connection with Gyango that's keeping it in monster form.
