Unlike his “brother” Sanda, the Brown Gargantua, Gaila was a vicious kaiju that actually fed upon human flesh. However, Gaila dwelled in the sea, where humans were in short supply, so Gaila soon began to attack ships and devouring the crews. He later turned to attacking cities along Japan’s coast, but disliking the sun, attacked only when it was cloudy, retreating to the sea whenever the sun emerged. Tired of the Green Gargantuas attacks on their country, the JSDF decided to lure Gaila into a trap, nearly killing the monster with an electrified lake and Maser Cannons. However, Sanda, the Brown Gargantua, surprisingly arrived and saved Gaila, but when the human-liking Sanda discovered that Gaila had been eating humans as his main diet, the Brown Gargantua attacked him, forcing the Green Gargantua to retreat to Tokyo. Now in Tokyo, Gaila began to attack the city, but Sanda soon arrived and the two engaged in a fierce battle in the city streets. The battle eventually moved out to the sea, where a volcano engulfed both Gargantuas.
