MOTW- Gabora

One of the few ultra monsters that got named in the US dub, Gabora menaced a bunch of Boy Scouts.  It had been awakened by a hurricane.  The beast needed uranium for food, which made it dangerous to everyone. It was a pretty tough creature, and Ultraman needed the Science Patrol's help to finish it all.  I do have to wonder why Japan had uranium mines, since the country tended to eschew nuclear power, but perhaps that had changed by 1993.  This world of ours may never know, which is quite alright.
It was another redress of the Baragon suit, which is why Baragon only had a cameo in Destroy All Monsters a few years later.  That was one durable suit.  It is pretty easy to see which ones were reused, since the body shape was generally the same.
