Description
My entry for 's contest.The end result of a full night's sleep, motivation from , a big lunch, and this tune beating in my head while drawing it: [link] (go on, click it, it won't bite).
As seen in the top right hand corner, Daikeris' head would be controlled by a remote operator, allowing for the actor/actress free use of his/her arms, and the 'skull', if you will, would be attached to a frame that would support itself on the actor/actress' shoulders, as you can see in the top left hand corner, highlighted in blue.
The actor/actress would enter the suit from behind, and a strip of rubber would cover the entry way, as shown in the sketch of the back.
The left claw would close when the actor/actress would pull on a handle trigger, and open back up when said grip was released. The right tentacle/tendril would be free moving and the tail would get support from the guys who work the strings of course.
On to origins I guess...
After Ultraman Mebius' leaving, the Earth enjoyed another period of peace that lasted for many, many years; however, all times of peace sooner or later end up giving way. Daikeris arrived on Earth undetected during a meteor shower and quickly went underground as to avoid the new anti-monster team, CORE (Counter Offensive Response tEam). For days it went undetected as it picked off hikers, campers, and and miners alike.
It wasn't until a volcanic eruption drove the beast above ground in broad daylight was it found out. CORE quickly mobilized and intercepted the monster before it could return underground. Daikeris shrugged off the attack as though it were a mere standard military offensive, and began firing on the anti-monster team, managing to knock one fighter out of the sky before managing to retreat back beneath the Earth's surface.
Daikeris would later reemerge in Nagoya and wreaked havoc on the city: toppling the skyline, and ensaring hordes of fleeing civilians in its grasp before tossing them into its mouth. CORE soon arrived on scene, but for all intents and purposes, it was turning into a repeat of the last battle... sans for the arrival of a new Ultra warrior.
Stats and whatnot-
Height: 50 meters
Mass: 25,000 tons
Burrowing speed: Moderate
Powers and such-
Fireballs: Daikeris can shoot a rapid volley of fireballs from its mouth.
Electric Conductor: Daikeris can discharge a high voltage of electricity from its tail into an opponent.
Editamundo: And I just realized that I already have a monster named Daikeris. Memory Fail.

I'd hate to get caught in that meat-grinder of a mouth. Or that huge tail.
Cool origin story. Do you have a specific Ultra in mind for him to fight?

I had a fanmade Ultra of mine in mind for Daikeris to fight.

Love the tail. Almost looks like an independent creature.

That was actually on my mind when designing this. Of course the 'independent' aspect was written out last minute, I kept the way it looked because it looked cool, and story-wise, if it were ever severed, the tail could be used as a distraction as the Ultra fighting it would be expecting it to become animate under its on power.

An imitation of a well established distraction in the Ultra-verse. Clever.

Oh, this guy looks awesome! Love the way the head works, and the tail is really cool. Also love the bit of non-symmetry in the arms, there.

Thanks! The non-symmetry in the arms was inspired by the Ultraman 80 monster, Raburas who had a normal right hand and a large claw for its left.
