History

Ultraman Geed

Skull Gomora was the first of Belial's Fusion Beasts used by the Alien Sturm, Kei Fukuide. It was created from the Monster Capsules of Red King and Gomora. Six years prior to Ultraman Geed's appearance, Kei had detected a Little Star that was in the possession of Toba Laiha, and trying to seize it for his master, Kei took the form of Skull Gomora, and attacked Laiha and her family while they were camping in the Mitsuse Foothills. Skull Gomora crushed Laiha's parents beneath a landslide and intimidated her into giving Kei the Little Star, but because Laiha feared the monster, the Little Star disappeared, knowing that Kei did not deserve its power. Foiled for now, Skull Gomora left the scene.^{[The Sword of an Oath]}

Six years later, Skull Gomora was used again to attack japan, during which it destroyed the home of Riku Asakura and Pega. The monster continued its rampage well into the afternoon until it eventually disappeared. Later than night though, Kei fused with his Monster Capsules and Skull Gomora returned, this time to attack Hoshiyama. Riku learned of the monster's reappearance, and realizing that Haruo and his family were in the city as well, Riku immediately went to confront the beast, and with REM's assistance, he transformed into the ultra known as Ultraman Geed. Dragging their battle to a nearby pond so the two of them could battle more safely, Geed tried to do his best, but due to Riku's inexperience in his new transformed state, Skull Gomora's brute strength allowed the monster to pummel the ultra into submission. However once his color timer began to blink, Riku's skills suddenly began to come naturally to him and after intercepting the monster from attacking the city again, the ultra destroyed Skull Gomora with his Wrecking Burst.^{[Welcome to the Secret Base]}

Later, Kei took the form of Skull Gomora once more upon detecting that another Little Star was in the vicinity (in the possession of Haruo's niece, Eri.) Skull Gomora sought out and attempted to attack Eri by attacking her family, but was once again confronted by Ultraman Geed. At first, Geed had difficulties battling the Fusion Beast again due to Skull Gomora's newly revealed abilities, but the ultra would not give up so easily, and Geed continued to wrestle with Skull Gomora. Realizing that Geed was trying to protect her and her family, Eri tried to help him by praying to the ultra and with her additional strength, Geed once again destroyed Skull Gomora with his Wrecking Burst. Afterwards, Eri's Little Star presented itself to Geed/Riku, taking the form of a new Ultra Capsule: Ultraman Leo.^{[The Girl Who Cuts Monsters]}

Kei would use Skull Gomora one last time during Ultraman Geed and Ultraman Zero's battle with the monster, Tyrant, where he again tried to seize another Little Star. One that was in the possession of Leito's daughter, Mayu. Knowing that he can stop the monster, Geed left Zero with Tyrant while he went off to confront the Fusion Beast in the Mitsuse Foothills. Transforming into his Solid Burning form, the battle was slightly hindered by Mayu appearing on the scene and distracting Geed, but the ultra managed to regain his composure and Geed managed to destroy the monster once again, this time with the Corkscrew Jamming attack.^{[The Sword of an Oath]}

Ultraman Z

Celebro, possessing Shinya Kaburagi, transformed into Skull Gomora in order to face the duo of Ultraman Geed and Ultraman Z. Taking the form of Skull Gomora first, the duo ultras managed to hold off the fusion beast well enough together, but after Celebro took the form of Thunder Killer and Pedanium Zetton, Geed and Z were quickly put at the mercy of the heinous life-form's monsters. It wasn't until the arrival of Ultraman Zero himself that both ultras managed to finally regain control of the battle. Celebro tried his best, but the might of three ultras were too much for Skull Gomora and the other fusion beasts to handle, and all three monsters were soon destroyed by the combination of Zero's Wide Zero Shot, Geed's Wrecking Phoenix, and Z's Zestium Ray.^{[His Majesty's Medal]}

Notes

• Skull Gomora's roar is a combination of several roars from the monsters: Red King, Gomora, Zumbolar, and the original 1954 roars of the Toho Monster, Godzilla.
• Skull Gomora's rampage in his debut episode features cinematography that parallels that of the film, Shin Godzilla.
• Skull Gomora's first two battles with Ultraman Geed are meant to pay homage to Ultraman Leo's battles with Alien Magma and the Gillas Brothers in that show's debut 2-part episodes, Their first battle in a lake is a tribute to Seven's battle in "The Death of Seven! Tokyo Is Sinking!" and their second battle in the city is a tribute to Leo's battle in "The Great Sinking! Twilight of the Japanese Archipelago".
• Skull Gomora's costume would later be used and modified to become the Sphere-Gomora suit.
