[edit] Stats

Bemular is from Nebula M35. He is 50 meters (164 feet) tall and weighs 15,000 tons. He resembles a bipedal dinosaur with a spiky back, flat face, long body/neck and short arms. He shoots a blue heat ray from his mouth, similar to that of Godzilla's

[edit] Trivia

-Bemular's name was taken from one of the proposed series concepts for Ultraman, Bemular (ベムラー - Bemurā), which was subsequently renamed Scientific Special Search Party: Bemular (科学特捜隊 ベムラー - Kagaku Tokusō Tai - Bemurā). The proposed Bemular was completely different from the one that resulted - A bird-like humanoid monster with wings. The rights to the creature design were eventually sold to Nikkatsu, and the monster became Gappa.

-The Bemular suit was later modified into that of the monster Gyango in Episode 11, "The Ruffian from Outer Space."

-Bemular has the distinction of being the very first Ultraman Kaiju, and the first destroyed by the Specium Ray.
