- Aboras
Aboras ( _ja. アボラス "Aborasu") was one of two ancient monsters that appeared in an
Ultraman episode known in English as "The Red and the Blue." Aboras's counterpart wasBanila . Aboras appears as a blue-skinnedtheropod -like creature with a largetyrannosaur -like head, a singleceratosaur -like horn, and a jagged-tooth mouth. Aboras has a breath weapon, exhaling a fog that condenses into an acidic, sticky foam on the target area. Given sufficient time, the foam will dissolve all organic and even some inorganic material. The suit used for Aboras itself is a modification of the Red King suit from a previous episode titled "The Monster Lawless Zone".Ultraman
When a containment capsule buried by ancient visitors to Earth was accidentally triggered to release its contents, Aboras materialized. Similar circumstances unleashed Banila, and the two monsters, wandering across the city causing destruction, ultimately battled each other. Aboras defeated Banila, coating his rival with his sticky acid foam. Banila was pinned to the adjacent buildings, and dissolved within minutes.
Ultraman narrowly avoided a similar fate, but ostensibly shook the foam off, and destroyed Aboras using his
specium ray . (Unfortunately, in one of the poorer special effects moments in the series, it is evident that an off-camera fan or blower was used to whisk away the foam as Ultraman shook himself.)The Ultraman

This monster re-appeared in the series , again alongside Banila. This re-imagining had Aboras spray his acid as a blue liquid. This was the monster's only re-appearance so far.
