The Mysterians
In the tokusatsu film The Mysterians, Moguera is a robot used by the alien Mysterians to assist in destroying humanity to make them bend to their will and supply them with a sufficient amount of land and women. It attacked a small village with its optic heat blasts, but was destroyed when the bridge it was standing on collapsed due to the military dynamiting it.
A second Moguera appeared as the Markalite beam cannons assaulted the Mysterians' base. This Moguera tried to destroy one of the Markalites by burrowing underneath it, but the weapon fell on top of it, crushing and destroying the short-lived second Moguera.
Name
The name モゲラ is probably derived from the word モグラ (meaning 'mole'), being as the robot has burrowing abilities.
