Dogora The Space Monster 1964 Blu-Ray English Sub-Titled

Dogora The Space Monster 1964 Blu-Ray English Sub-Titled:

Dogora (ドゴラ Dogora) is a mutant space cell kaiju that first appeared in the 1964 Toho film, Dogora.

A single-celled organism living in Earth's atmosphere, Dogora was mutated after coming into contact with a radiation pocket over Japan. The creature began destroying satellites before descending to Earth to feed on sources of carbon, primarily diamonds and coal. Dogora grew at an accelerated rate as it fed, eventually growing into a colossal tentacled monster. The JSDF were able to blow Dogora apart with their missiles, but this only induced the creature to undergo cellular fission and reproduce into countless more Dogora cells. Fortunately, it was discovered that wasp venom caused a chemical reaction within Dogora's cells which caused them to crystallize, and so chemical plants around the globe worked to synthesize artificial wasp venom. The JSDF attacked Dogora using this compound, crystallizing all of its cells and finally ridding the world of the space monster.

While it debuted outside of the Godzilla series, Dogora began to cross over into Godzilla media beginning with the 1988 video game Godzilla: Monster of Monsters!, in which it appeared as an enemy. Dogora went on to appear in other media such as the 1997 television series Godzilla Island. Dogora made its first appearance in a Godzilla film during the intro of the 2017 film GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters, which briefly depicted Dogora attacking London. Dogora's role in the continuity of the anime trilogy is explored in greater depth in the film's official prequel novel, GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse.
