Ookondru (also known as "Gai," "The Giant Condor,""Oowashi", or Daikondru) is a monster featured very briefly in the film Ebirah, Horror of the Deep. It has not appeared outside the Showa series despite being considered for Godzilla Final Wars.

History

In Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, the Giant Condor briefly grapples with Godzilla, but it proves to be nothing more then a nuisance for the King of the Monsters, who roasts it with his atomic breath. Its charred corpse plummets into the ocean, the Giant Condor disappearing as suddenly as it appeared. This brawl is one of Godzilla's shortest battles.

The Giant Condor appears once more in All Monsters Attack which Godzilla destroyed with his atomic ray, it's body then proceeds to fall in the ocean.

Abilities

The Giant Condor has the abilities of what a large bird of prey would have: sharp talons, a piercing beak and the power of flight.

Trivia

• The Giant Condor was another mutant creature on the island that the terrorist group seemed to use it as a defense, like Ebirah.
• The Giant Condor was considered for Godzilla: Final Wars.
• The Giant Condor was meant to be an opponent for King Kong, who was originally featured in the script for Ebirah Horror Of The Deep. King Kong was replaced with Godzilla during production due to problems with Rankin-Bass, the current owners of the Kong rights.
• The Giant Condor's shrieking screech was utilized for the monster Minilla in the next three Showa films: Son of Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters, and All Monsters Attack.
