History

Ultra Q

Gomess was a flesh-eating monster that has lived back in the Mesozoic Era along with Litra. One had existed for millions of years hiding underground and it fed on what it could until its home was disturbed. In modern-day Japan, some workers that were working on a Tunnel had disturbed Gomess as he was about to feed on a Litra Egg and it attacked anyone that entered its home. Gomess stalked a male worker and female reporter in particular, hoping to eat them until he was blinded by the flashes of the reporter's camera. This however provoked Gomess even more, who followed them to the surface and attacked the Construction site that was going on in the area. Also having awoken (and hatched out from her egg) was Litra, who battled fiercely with Gomess. Gomess has the size and strength advantage, but Litra managed to hold her own until she fired her Citronella Acid at Gomess, which finally killed the monster after a few hits.^{[Defeat Gomess!]}

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey

Gomess (S) as seen in Ultra Galaxy NEO

Gomess (S) was a monster who had belonged to a Reionyx Alien Guts, and was seen in battle against the monster Magular. Being the superior monster of the two, Gomess easily manhandled Magular until he noticed the stranded Gostar Dragon and prepared to destroy it. Rei however confronted Gomess by releasing his Gomora to fend him off. Despite Gomess receiving some (rather unusual) help from Magular, Gomora was still more powerful than both monsters could handle and in the end, Gomora stabbed Magular and destroyed him with his Super Oscillatory Wave. Gomess however retreated from the fight after being recalled by his master.^{[Reionics Hunter]}

Later while Rei was looking for a Reionics Alien Hook who had ambushed him and Captain Hyuga earlier, Gomess reappeared, looking for Rei to settle the score from earlier. Once again, Rei released Gomora for the two monsters to do battle. It was then revealed that Gomess's master was a Reiblood Alien Guts, who was angry at Rei for interrupting his fight from last time. With Litra assisting Gomora however, Gomess couldn't stand up to both monsters by himself, and like Magular, Gomora stabbed Gomess and destroyed him with his Super Oscillatory Wave. Alien Guts however fled the scene before Rei could target him next.^{[Reionics Battle]}

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend the Movie

Gomess (S) reappeared as one of Ultraman Belial's revived 100 Monster Army. Gomess (S) teamed up with fellow monsters, King Silvergon, King Goldras, King Guesra, Magular, Alien Baltan, Zetton, Arigera, Twin Tail, Antlar, and Gudon to take on Ultraman in the Monster Graveyard. However, he and Alien Baltan were betrayed and murdered by Ultraman Belial when the evil Ultra struck Seven with the "Belial Geno Thunder" attack from the Giga Battle Nizer, killing them in the process.

Later, Gomess (S) joined the rest of Ultraman Belial's Monsters in forming the Conglomerate Monster, Belyudra. Gomess (S) is one of the monsters that makes up the neck.

Ultraman Saga

Gomess (S) was one of the few monsters that was revived by Alien Bat (along with Arstron and Gubila) to serve under his orders. He, along with Gubila, were sent by Alien Bat to battle against Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Zero (whom had been shrunken down to being 5 meters tall due to Taiga's uncooperative participation.) While Cosmos battled Gubila, Zero was left to battle Gomess. Despite Zero's smaller size and weakened strength, Zero's hot temper allowed the Ultra to hold off Gomess just long enough for Cosmos to calm both monsters down with the Full Moon Rect. Just as it seemed both Gomess and Gubila had become more harmless, both monsters were murdered in cold blood by Alien Bat for their failure to kill the Ultras.

Ultraman X

Gomess (S) was one of the many Spark Dolls that were transformed into monsters when an Ultra Flare hit the Earth. Gomess's presence wasn't felt until he had begun attacking Area T4-7 at nights, only to disappear underground just before Xio could do anything to stop him. Eventually Gomess would surface once more, this time in Area S2-6 to attack during the daylight. Luckily, Xio had already deployed and were busy at work to both evacuate people from Gomess's attack, as well as fight back against the monster. However, Gomess proved to be a tough challenge for them as he shrugged off their assaults (including a blast from an Ultlaser) and continued to rampage. During the scuffle, Daichi managed to transform into Ultraman X, and both ultra and monster fought. Gomess continued to prove that he was a difficult opponent by overpowering X physically, but X fought back and eventually managed to take him down with the Bemstar Armor. However just before the ultra could finish him off with the Xanadium Beam, Gomess burrowed away to recover.

The next day while Gomess was still recovering, Dark Thunder Energy rained down from the sky and struck the monster while it was deep underground. Gomess re-emerged in Area K-3 to resume his rampage, now with new dark powers at his disposal. Xio was deployed again, but even though they hit the monster with everything they had, the power boost from the Dark Thunder Energy allowed Gomess to withstand everything that they threw at him. Once again, Daichi transformed into Ultraman X to fight back, but Gomess's new abilities allowed the monster to easily beat down X until the ultra was unable to fight back. Just as Gomess was about to finish off the ultra, Cyber Gomora was summoned by Captain Kamiki, who took control of the Cyber Monster himself. Cyber Gomora laid a fierce beating on Gomess, and although both monsters' fight was at a standstill, the assistance of X and Xio allowed the team to hit Gomess with another assault, and for X to transform into his Exceed X form. With Cyber Gomora assisting him, Exceed X turned the tables on Gomess and purified the monster with the Exceed X Slash attack, turning the monster back to normal, and Gomess was quickly destroyed by a combination of Cyber Gomora's Cyber Super Oscillation Wave, and Ultraman X's Xanadium Beam, reducing him back into a Spark Doll.^{[A Soldier's Back]}

Ultraman Orb

Gomess was a stray monster who surfaced to attack a city, along with Telesdon and Demaaga. All three monsters were quickly confronted by Ultraman Orb Hurricane Slash, who was prepared to do battle. Suddenly all three monsters suddenly collapsed and after checking their pulses, Orb was shocked to learn that they have all died, leaving the confused ultra to briefly mourn their unsettling deaths and leave. The next day, it was revealed that the three monsters had died from an over-exposure to a poisonous smoke that was emitting deep within the earth, a sign of the coming arrival of Magata No Orochi.^{[The Giga Lord Monster Strikes Back]}

Ultraman R/B

Gomess was seen locked in battle against the ultra brothers, Rosso and Blu. Rosso had already switched to Rosso Wind, and Gomess had already beaten both ultras to the point where Rosso's color timer was now blinking, and was able to keep the battle to his own advantage. Despite the monster's brute strength overpowering them, the brothers continued fighting and after Blu received a second wind, Blu shifted the battle back to their favor by switching to Blu Ground and he struck Gomess with his Earth Bringer attack. With Gomess dazed, Rosso destroyed the monster by striking him with the Sparion Beam from Makoto Aizen's confiscated Orb Ring NEO.^{[The Minatos' Day Off]}

Ultraman Z

Gomess was seen attacking a city and terrorizing its populace until the monster was confronted by Sevenger, piloted by Yoko of STORAGE. Being only half the size of the robot, Gomess fled from the fight, only to spot Haruki saving a puppy that was caught in crossfire of the monster's rampage. Gomess tried to kill both Haruki and the puppy, but luckily both of them were noticed by Yoko, who used Sevenger to knock the monster into a nearby building, only to lose her footing and collapse into the building as well, crushing the monster in the process.^{[Chant My Name!]}

Sometime later, a much larger Gomess appeared in Mt. Kuzuha, awakened by Ultroid Zero's first field test and having come to the surface to assist fellow monsters, Demaaga and Pagos, against STORAGE's new robot. Even with the numbers in the monsters' favor, Ultroid Zero still managed to fend off all three monsters with ease. However once Director Kuriyama ordered Yoko to destroy them with the robot's D4 ray, Yoko hesitated from being shocked by his orders, allowing Demaaga, Gomess, and Pagos to overpower the robot. Things only worsened when Takkong and King Guesra (two monsters whom Ultraman Z was engaged in battle with) arrived to assist the three monsters in attendance, putting Ultroid Zero in a tight situation.

Luckily, Ultraman Z arrived on the scene to deal with the two newcomers in his Delta Rise Claw form, allowing Ultroid Zero to regain control of the battle once more. Takkong and King Guesra eventually fled the scene once Ultroid Zero overpowered the three monsters, and Kuriyama again demanded that Yoko destroy the monsters with the D4 ray. After much hesitation and pressuring, Yoko reluctantly fired the ray, which vaporized Demaaga, Gomess, and Pagos in an enormous explosion.^{[Prelude to a Nightmare]}
