Appearance[]

Stegojiras resembles a golem in physiology, although he appears to wear several pieces of armor. His legs are protected by dual leg guards, and he wears a gauntlet on one of his arms. He also wears a helmet with two ear-like protrusions on top of it. Finally, he carries a blow-pipe wherever he goes, which he uses in combat. However, these armor pieces are not present in Go! Godman. Instead, Stegojiras wears a brown and red garment on his body which has a white spider web-like pattern over the front of it. He also wears a green cape, black pants, black boots, and green and red gloves. Similarly, Stegojiras also did not possess a blow gun in his original appearance, but rather threw darts which he could secrete from his hands.

Roar[]

Stegojiras reuses Gezora's roars.

History[]

Go! Godman[]

Stegojiras was the thirty-seventh monster to battle Godman, and fought alongside Akumon. The two monsters had been commanded by a sentient volcano named ??? to sacrifice a young girl, when Godman intervened, cutting off their communication to ??? by clearing the smoke. He then fought both monsters, and was eventually successful.

Go! Greenman[]

Stegojiras was the thirty-sixth monster to battle Greenman.

Abilities[]

Stegojiras is strong and can beat on his enemies. In Go! Godman, he is capable of secreting darts from his hands which he used to attatch Kaito to a tree. However, in Go! Greenman this ability was adapted into a blowpipe that he could expel his darts from.
