Monster Profile: RED KING (Ultraman)

RED KING

(レッドキング Reddo Kingu)

Classification: Skull Monster

In the original Ultraman series, Red King appeared twice. First, he was encountered on the remote island of Tatara where he and other monsters had terrorized and killed a team of researchers.

In this episode, Red King is a ferocious monster with a tendency to showboat and use rocks and boulders as weapons. He quarrels with other monsters and is not above ripping off his enemy's limbs, but his bony skin and intimidating size were no match for Ultraman who defeated him without depleting his own energy.

The second time Red King appeared, he was considerably more dangerous because he had swallowed a nuclear device. Again, he quarrels with other monsters before facing down Ultraman, who slices Red King into three pieces.

Height: 45 meters (147 feet)

Weight: 20, 000 Tons
