Description

Within the depths of space, the Garoga race encountered a glowing space organism named Jellar. With bulbous jelly-like flesh, the small monster was naturally resistant to sunlight and proton beams. Additionally, it was learned the jelly creature was capable of growing in size tremendously when exposed to oxygen. Armed with this knowledge, the Garoga quickly dispatched the creature in a hyperbolic capsule to Earth. However, the carrying ship was intercepted by the Zone Family before it could be activated. Greatly angered by their misgotten plans, the aliens captured Akira. Offering a trade, they sought to regain the blob monster and fulfill its mission. Yet the trade was not as planned, and in the confusion, Jellar was unleashed. Now massive in size and howling in a banshee-like manner, the genetic freak stood posed to fight the newly arrived Zone Fighter. The resulting battle soon revealed to the Earthly savior the uselessness of his Meteor Proton Beam. It seemed as if defeat would befall the hero, until the sudden arrival of the summoned Godzilla.

Running into the fray, the leviathan managed to tear free one of Jellar's limbs. The severed appendage wormed from his grasp and exploded, showing to the world another ability programmed into the Garoga weapon's DNA. Walking through the smoke, a smaller version of the Jellar, dubbed Custom-Jellar, immediately joined the ranks of its kin. Attacking Godzilla and Zone Fighter, an enlarged brawl was witnessed, but even the combined strength of the Terror-Beasts could not stand up to Earth's protectors. With the combination of Meteor Missile Might and atomic breath, Zone Fighter and Godzilla reduced the twin horrors into pools of sappy slime which proceeded to dissolve into nothing.


Powers / Weapons
Mist attack

Mist attack

From the tip of its large tentacles, Jellar can release a thick cloud of green gas, which it uses to melt its opponents. Upon touching its targets, namely Godzilla and Zone Fighter, this mist was capable of covering them in a series of small explosions.

   
Flight

Flight

A surprise tactic employed by the bizarre Terror-Beast, Jellar is capable of launching itself off of the ground like a missile. Instead of being used to travel long distance, this ability was put to use in repeatedly ramming Zone Fighter and keeping him off of his feet in battle.

   
Custom-Jellar formation

Custom-Jellar formation

Should a piece of Jellar be removed, it can immediately regrow into a Custom-Jellar and aid its parent in battle.

   
Growth in oxygen

Growth in oxygen

When exposed to high concentrations of oxygen while in its original form, Jellar swells in size. When it was set free from its frozen capsule, the jelly monster reacted to Earth's atmosphere and grew 50 times in size.

   
Sunlight/Proton Beam immunity

Sunlight/Proton Beam immunity

Jellar's body is naturally immune to both sunlight and Zone Fighter’s Meteor Proton Beam, an attack usually capable of dealing crippling damage to its targets.

   
Infrared rays

Infrared Rays

Though not used in combat, Jellar can release infrared rays from its eyes.


Background and Trivia
  • In Toho Special Effects: All Kaiju Illustrated Encyclopedia, its place of birth is the Planet Jellarl (ジュラール星 - Juraru Hoshi). Its original form is also simply referred to as "space creature" (宇宙生物 - Uchu Seibutsu).

    While its subtitle is listed as being "Soft Body Terror-Beast" (軟体恐獣 - Nantai Kyoju), Jellar is merely referred to as "Terror-Beast" (恐獣 - Kyoju) during its entrance in the show.
  • The mention of its unused eye rays can be found in All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume) (ISBN: 4766909623).

Description

Hidden within the hellish genes of the mutant Jellar, a code of spawning broods dwelled. Having the cunning ability to recreate a miniature version of its being from just a piece of torn flesh, the monster landed on Earth. During its battle with Zone Fighter and Godzilla, the reptilian behemoth managed to pull free one of Jellar's corpulent arms, unknowing of the effects of such an action could come to bear. Following an explosion of the sprawling arm, the new Custom-Jellar joined the fray alongside its "parent". But once again, the plans of the Garogas were unfruitful, and the Terror-Beasts were destroyed by the combined powers of Godzilla's oral beam and Zone Fighter's Meteor Missile Might.


Powers / Weapons
None

None

Custom-Jellar displayed no overly extravagant powers like its parent did. However, it could be theorized it could spawn more Custom-Jellars from its own flesh and be immune to Zone Fighter’s Proton Beam.
