Gamera (Showa)

Showa Gamera, or simply "Gamera", is a giant turtle kaiju used by Goldn

History
In 1965, an atomic bomb was dropped in the cold arctic of the north, unintentionally releasing an ancient creature from its icy prison. That creature was none other than Gamera, who took to the skies and flew towards Nagoya.

Gyaos, Gamera's arch enemy and rival, was on a rampage in Nagoya. Gamera, having always cared for other creatures, confronted Gyaos and fought him to protect the human population. The battle of the two kaiju eventually ended at the top of Mt. Futago, where both creatures fell into the molten lava and seemingly perished.

Fifty-one years later, Gyaos emerges from a glowing cave, apparently having burrowed underground, and wrecks havoc upon Nagoya again. Almost immediately, Gamera appears from the top of Mt. Futago and, with the help of Neo Titanosaurus, defeats Gyaos again.

Personality
Gamera is notably friendly towards his allies, and is often seen helping out humans.

Abilities

 * Can unleash a stream of fire. Unlike his Heisei counterpart, he cannot create fireballs.
 * Retracting his limbs and head into his shell, he can start spinning and fly. He can reach mach 3 flight.
 * He can absorb fire. Doing so will gradually heal his wounds.
 * Unlike other bestial kaiju, Gamera can understand deeper concepts and has basic communication skills with humans.
 * Can withstand higher temperatures, which is how he was able to survive inside Mt. Futago for five decades.
 * Can breathe in areas where no oxygen is present.
 * Has extremely high defenses.

Weaknesses

 * Lacks speed and mobility. While he can reach mach 3 flight, he cannot instantly change into flight mode at will.
 * His attack power isn't too high, as he is more defensive.
 * Jamming strong, needlelike structures into his limbs will prevent them from retracting into his shell.
