Overview

Tsunojiras (ツノジラス,   Tsunojirasu?) is a reptile kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 22 of the 1972 tokusatsu kaiju series, Go! Godman titled Godman vs. Tsunojiras and Elephantar.

Design[]

Appearance[]

Tsunojiras bares a close resemblance to the popular Ultraman series kaiju, Gomora. Tsunojiras has brown, rough skin with beige-colored horns, and dull orange eyes. In the 2008 Go! Godman film, Tsunojiras' eyes were colored in a brighter shade of orange, and his horns were made a metallic gold.

Roar[]

In Go! Godman, Tsunojiras' roars are borrowed from the Ultra Kaiju Zambolar, whose roars are in turn made from combined Godzilla and Gamera roars. In the Godman film, Tsunojiras shared his roar with Varan and the Showa Baragon. In Go! Greenman, Tsunojiras reuses Arstron roars. Concidentally, Arstron is another monster who bears a vague similarity to both Godzilla and Tsunojiras.
