First Appearance: Episode 14 "The Pearl Defense Directive"
Gamakujira (ガマクジラ Gamakujira) literally translates into English "pearl-eater" from the original Japanese, and this monster from the Ultraman television series did exactly that. Gamakujira resembled a bloated crocodile with eyes that seemed to constantly peer skyward. His tongue was a hollow tube with a suction cup funnel at the tip, designed to sweep up any mass quantity of pearls the creature could find. Never ones to let a creature stand in the way of economic prosperity, the Science Patrol fought this creature as it terrorized the Japanese coast searching for any source of pearls available. Eventually, the creature was forcibly inflated with hydrogen, and was destroyed upon impact by Ultraman while in flight.
