Gabara

Gabara is a fictional kaiju (giant monster) featured in the 1969 Japanese tokusatsu film All Monsters Attack, the tenth Godzilla film to be produced by Toho. Gabara is the primary antagonist of the film.

Overview
Just as All Monsters Attack is one of the more distinctive entries in the Godzilla canon &mdash; existing, as Gabara does, entirely inside the dreams of a small child &mdash; Gabara is very unique. Not obviously based on any real animal or mythological creature, Gabara's costume is similar to an ogre or troll, mixing the turquois scales of a reptile with orange, cat-like fur. He also has three horns on his head. Its roar sounds like mocking laughter. Gabara has the power to electrocute things on contact, as seen with Minilla, and later, Godzilla.

Within the context of the film, Gabara is a representation within the dreams of Ichiro, the main character, of a schoolyard bully of the same name. Similarly, Ichiro is represented by Minya, Godzilla's son. After Godzilla defends his offspring in Ichiro's dreams, Ichiro is able to overcome his fears and confront the real Gabara.

The character did not make any further appearances in Godzilla films, but the name and costume were reused in the fourteenth episode of the short Kyodai Hero television series Ike! Greenman. It is unclear if this means Gabara exists outside of Ichiro's dreams, that Greenman's adventures take place within them, of if the two are unrelated.
