Description
Zigra (ジグラ Jigura) is an alien fish kaiju who first appeared in the 1971 Daiei Gamera film Gamera vs. Zigra .

An alien hailing from a planet where his fish-like race preyed on human-like land creatures, Zigra traveled to Earth in his spaceship with the intent of enslaving the human race and raising them as cattle. He took mental control of a woman named Chikako Sugawara, forcing her to act as his agent, X1. When Chikako was freed from his hypnosis and Gamera continuously interfered with his plans, Zigra emerged from his UFO and attempted to battle the heroic turtle kaiju. While Zigra had an advantage over Gamera underwater, he was outmatched once the battle moved to land and was ultimately destroyed. Zigra returned, though depicted entirely through stock footage, in the 1980 film Gamera Super Monster , this time as a pawn of the crew of the pirate spaceship Zanon . Though he has not reappeared in a film since, Zigra has made appearances in various non-film media, including Dark Horse 's Gamera comic series. He is also one of the five kaiju Gamera faced in the animated Netflix series GAMERA -Rebirth- .
