The flying horse of the evil sister Belvera. The winged dragon is just as evil as the beautiful imp's own soul, reflecting not one moment of remorse when it helped its master blast her sisters from the air on their fairy Mothra. Transporting Belvera to the sights of battle that were marked from Desghidorah's passing, the two laughed. Until finally, summoning its new power, Fairy Mothra blasted Garu-Garu from the air. Revealing to the twin sisters of light, that the animal was a robot, nothing more than a machine.

Description

Repairing her chariot, Belvera created a new and more powerful Garu-Garu. Adding to its already powerful violet oral flame, a pair of mounted cannons were attached to the replaced bionic wings. Seeing their chance to eliminate mankind, the pair sought to capture Ghogo, the true treasure of the undersea kingdom Nilai-Kanai. Controlling a pair of fortune hunters, she traveled to the temple to seek the treasure, not realizing it was the living fur ball like animal Ghogo. When finally the truth was told from the last remaining survivor of the Nilai-Kanai kingdom, Princess Yuna, the end was too near. Sinking into the ocean, Belvera, along with the rest of the humans, fled, leaving the centuries old stone temple to rest in the peace it knew not long ago.

Description

Not satisfied with her previous modifications, Belvera continued to tinker with her winged dragon, casting a more machine like appearance on the beast while fitting its face with an eyesight of precise accuracy, Garu-Garu was no longer a manor of transportation. Now the creature was a weapon, carrying its black shroud rider to anyplace she saw fit. Yet the new Garu-Garu III could not avoid being ripped into the gelatin dome of the golden dragon Ghidorah. Even Belvera's black magic could not piece the veil that surrounded her and a few dozen screaming children. All had to wait, wait to see if Mothra could prevail in the ancient past of Earth, to destroy the omnipotent force of Grand King Ghidorah.
