The Science Patrol somehow seemed familiar with the creature, or the type of creature, from some unexplained prior experience, and they quickly reasoned that it had an appetite for uranium. The creature was lured away from the coastline to a more secluded area using a uranium capsule suspended from a helicopter as bait. Gabora opened his armor mask, presumably to more easily consume the radioactive delicacy, but his attempt to dine on the uranium rattled Shin Hayata and his helicopter, leading to Ultraman's appearance (Hayata is Ultraman's host), and Gabora's fairly routine demise.
