Biography

Magular (マグラー, Magurā)[1] is a thorny devil-like kaiju that lived on Tatara Island from the original Ultraman TV series. Unlike most Kaiju in the series, it was destroyed by the SSSP instead of an Ultra Warrior. Another Magular appeared on the Planet Hammer, only to be destroyed by Rei's Gomora. It first appeared in episode 8 of the original series.

History

Ultraman

A monstrous subterranean behemoth thriving in the Monster Lawless Zone, Magular kept to himself, only poking his head out on occasion to witness the colossal clashes between the island's inhabitants. Magular was first seen emerging from the ground during a fight between Red King and Chandlar. Frightened off by Red King, it burrowed away again and later ran into Hayata and the Captain. The monster attacked and managed to injure Hayata by knocking him down a hill and causing him to lose the Beta Capsule, but was killed by grenades that the SSSP threw at it. The Lawless Monster Zone

Trivia

  • Suit actor: Umenosuke Izumi
  • Magular is the third monster that was created from the Baragon suit, after Pagos and Neronga.
    • Originally, the Anguirus suit would have been modified to be Magular.
  • Magular's roar is a higher-pitch Baragon roar.
    • The roar itself actually debuted in 1956's Rodan for the titular monster.
  • In some pictures, Magular and Red King are shown fighting Ultraman, although Magular never fought Ultraman (as well as each other).
  • Magular was originally planned to appear in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero in the same episode with Red King and Chandlar (much like his original counterpart did), but ultimately never appeared.
  • In Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, Magular's roar makes cameos in episode 3.
  • Magular's roar was reused for most of the monsters in Ultraman ZOFFY: Ultra Warriors vs. the Giant Monster Army for unknown reasons.
  • Concept art of Magular can be seen in sillouhette in the opening of Ultraman.

Magular NEO

Magular, as seen in Ultra Galaxy NEO

After Rei and the Pendragon's captain, Hyuga, escaped Dale's detonated explosions at a ZAP SPACY space station using a spare fighter plane, a black hole came out of nowhere and sucked them both in, while the Pendragon was incapable of saving them. The black hole was really a wormhole that sent them crashing onto a desert planet much like Boris. The first monster to appear was Gomess (S), alongside the monster Magular. The two battled, but it was seemingly one sided as Gomess was easily defeating Magular, until it tossed the underground monster aside and aimed for Rei and Hyuga. Rei summoned Gomora to due battle against Gomess, who could do little to save itself from Gomora's onslaughts, until Magular joined the fray. Even with two against one, Gomora easily knocked them around and destroyed Magular with the Ultra Oscillation Wave, after stabbing it with its nasal horn. Reionics Hunter (episode)

Trivia

  • In akin to its original creation, the Neronga suit from the original Ultra Galaxy was reused for Magular's appearance in the series.
  • During the opening credits to the series, Magular is seen battling Eleking, even though neither monster fought nor met each other in the series.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie

Magular appeared as one of Ultraman Belial's 100 Monster Army. He teamed up with King Silvergon, King Goldras, King Guesra, Gomess (S), Alien Baltan, Zetton, Arigera, Twin Tail, Antlar, and Gudon to take on Ultraman. He was Ultraman's first explosive kill as he flipped it over and caused it to crash to the ground and explode. Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie

Trivia

  • The Magular suit from the Ultra Galaxy NEO was reused for Magular's appearance in the film.

Ultraman X

MAGULAR-X

Magular is one of the Spark Dolls that were awakened by the Ultra Flare. In episode 1, it was seen attacking Paris, France, specifically near the Arc de Triomphe. A Voice From the Starry Sky

Trivia

  • Magular's attack on the Arc de Triomphe could be seen as a tribute to Baragon as the monster was meant to destroy the Paris' landmark in 1968's Destroy All Monsters. Ironically its attack was given to Gorosaurus, due to the Baragon suit being damaged from being Magular.
  • Originally, one of the series' writers Kiyotaka Taguchi was hoping for Gabora to attack said place instead but was forced to use Magular since said suit was available.

Ultraman Blazar

While not physically making an appearance in the series, Magular was one of the many monsters the GGF battled against, and was the main subject of professor Kazunori Yokomine's 1986 thesis "Reflections on Magular Countermeasures on Tatara Island and the Necessity of its Understanding."

The remains of another Magular were also found in the burrow of Mogusion according to the weekly Chroyu News article. Terror from the Underground
