Abilities[]
Flight[]
In all of its incarnations, the Gyaos species are agile fliers.
Supersonic Scalpel[]
The Gyaos' most iconic signature ability is the Supersonic Scalpel it fires from its mouth. This attack takes the form of a thin yellow beam which can slice apart objects with incredible precision.
History[]
Gyaos attacks the city.
In Gamera vs. Gyaos, appeared in Japan from a large cavern, and feasted on blood - principally that of livestock and human beings. Soon, Gamera confronted Gyaos, and after a battle, Gyaos was forced to flee and Gamera was forced into the ocean to recover. It is soon learned that light causes Gyaos' skin to shrink, so the light of the city stadium of Nagoya kept Gyaos at bay. Gamera soon returned to finish Gyaos off and, after a battle in the air, Gyaos cut off his own foot to escape from the sun.
The protagonists developed a plan to place artificial blood on a rooftop in Nagoya. The plan was to keep Gyaos drinking the blood for so long that the sun would come up and kill him. But Gyaos proved more cunning than originally thought and used a strange fog attack to protect himself from the sun. The next plan was to lure Gamera to Gyaos' lair in the forest by setting the forest alight. Gyaos used his fog attack to put out the flames, but Gamera arrived and eventually defeated Gyaos by throwing the beast into a volcano.
Trivia[]
- In several anatomical illustrations, Showa Gyaos was described to possess biological radars in ears and claws on wings, "psi liquid" in its brain to keep its stamina, and emit jets from its legs, and emit poisnous liquids from its claws, and poisonous powders from its chest, and its fog to stun foes.
