Viras

Viras's History

Viras originated as the Boss, the leader of an expedition force of Virasians, set upon conquering the Earth who chose not to disguise himself. An earlier attempt by his kind was easily thwarted by Gamera, so the Boss employed a mind probe to discover Gamera's weaknesses. The Virasians discovered Gamera's kindness to children, and exploited it by kidnapping two Boy Scouts and using them as hostages, coercing Gamera to get into perfect position for the launching of the Brainwave Control Device. Gamera was then made to rampage through Japan, with the targets being the Okumusashi Dam and eventually Tokyo.

After the children managed to reverse the polarity of the Brainwave Control Device, Gamera disobeyed his controllers, and began attacking. The Virasians attempted to escape, but Gamera completely incapacitated the UFO, preventing this from taking place. Realising that his kind could not invade Earth unless Gamera was killed, the Boss fused with the other Virasians to become the giant Viras and faced Gamera in combat. After a fierce battle, Viras was defeated when Gamera flew with him up into the atmosphere, where he froze solid. Gamera then dropped Viras, and he exploded violently after colliding with the ocean.
