Gezora's History
Gezora was a cuttlefish mutated into a kaiju by the Space Amoeba.
Gezora was created when the Space Amoeba, which had been taking refuge on the spaceship Helios-7, possessed and mutated a cuttlefish in the waters off Sergio Island, where the ship had previously crash landed. The natives of the island regarded the monster as akin to a creature of legend, and the island's elder Onbo warned of the beast's wrath. Two foreigners, an engineer named Yokoyama and his friend Sakura, decided against heeding the warnings of the native people, believing it to be mere superstition, and sneaked off to a beach near the ocean to fish. Although Sakura warned that the air and water felt unusually cool, Yokoyama reassured him that it was nothing more than a temperature drop due to the time of day and a current of cold water, and cast his line into the waters. Immediately, to their shock, the water lit up with a blinding streak of blue light before none other than Gezora emerged. Fearing for their lives, the men attempted to flee from the kraken-like sea monster, but Sakura stumbled on the rocky terrain and fell to the ground. Realizing this, Yokoyama turned back and attempted to help his companion, but it was too late. Gezora ensnared Sakura in his giant tentacle and dragged the man under the water, drowning and presumably consuming him. As the monster descended back under the murky depths, Yokoyama continued to frantically flee but was met by Onbo and a number of his followers, to whom he dejectedly recounted the experience.
Later, after being confronted about the incident by the recently-arrived Taro Kudo, Kyoichi Mida, Ayako Hoshino, and Makoto Obata, Yokoyama agreed to transport the group to an underground cavern which they intended to survey. There, they discovered a large reservoir of water which came in from the sea at high tide. Not long after, the water lit up with a blue glow not unlike that previously experienced by Yokoyama and Sakura, the former warning the rest of the group that it was a sign of the monster. As the water churned and several waves crashed against the cave floor, the light disappeared and it was concluded that the monster had left. One of the waves created washed up a Japanese wristwatch which Yokoyama recognized as Sakura's, sending him into a panic and prompting him to speed off in his vehicle, stranding the rest of the group. As Yokoyama and an islander named Rico who had tagged along in the jeep arrived at the hut which Yokoyama had been temporarily taking residence in, Gezora emerged from the ocean and came on land. The monster wasted no time in making his attack, arriving at the building and bursting through the ceiling and window with its tentacles to terrorize the men inside. Gezora quickly constricted Yokoyama with one of the tentacles and ripped him from the shack, before doing the same with Rico, tossing the latter to the ground outside. After further dismantling the building, Gezora prepared to finish Rico off, but was suddenly driven off by a colony of bats flying overhead, due to the ultrasonic waves which they had been emitting. Although Rico managed to keep his life, he was left in a near-comatose state, responding only to light shined in his eyes, and with a number of frostbitten wounds on his body, both of which concluded by Dr. Kyoichi Mida to be the doing of Gezora.
Gezora was again encountered the following morning as Taro and the doctor were diving in the ocean to search for the crashed Helios-7. Immediately after catching sight of the men, Gezora outstretched his tentacles and managed to entrap Taro in one of them. Frantically, Taro attempted to stab at the tentacle with a knife and Dr. Mida assisted by firing a harpoon at it, however neither object was able to pierce it. In their time of distraction, Gezora was able to further trap Dr. Mida in its other tentacle, seemingly sealing the fates of both men. Fortunately, Gezora's attention was diverted by a group of dolphins swimming nearby, allowing for the two to free themselves. Gezora then released a cloud of ink to disperse the dolphins, but also inadvertently allowed for Taro and Dr. Mida to make their escape in the process. As the men arrived at shore, Gezora also emerged and made his way to a native encampment. There, the monster began to terrorize its inhabitants and decimate several buildings, even killing the elder Onbo by picking up and tossing him with his tentacle.
Conspiring against the beast, Taro, Dr. Mida, and Ayako concluded that using fire against Gezora may prove effective, as Ayako noticed that at one point his tentacle was scalded by a small fire in the village. With help from a number of natives, Taro and the doctor began to fire at Gezora with rifles to catch his attention and lure him into a clearing. Once there, the field was drenched in gasoline from an old munitions dump and lit with torches, setting Gezora ablaze. With massive burns and sores covering his body, the giant cuttlefish ran back to the ocean and began to attempt to swim away, but ultimately perished on the seafloor. The Space Amoeba then escaped from the monster's corpse, only to travel back to the island to continue his attack.
