Gezora

Gezora is a daikaiju, originally a  simple cuttlefish mutated to an enormous size by the rogue alien virus Yog. It was one of the pawns of the alien in the 1970 Toho feature film, Space Amoeba, AKA Yog, Monster From Space.

Yog, Monster From Space
It quickly established a reign of terror to a small island who prior to the monster's appearance, had legends of a similar creature. The grotesque cephalopod rose from the sea but few times, and murdered several people. Leaving only one to live, but forever scarred with horrible frost burns. It wasn't until its final show of power, was the end of the monster carried out. The natives, along with some members of a Japanese expedition, lured the creature into an open field, doused with gasoline. Then, they cast a torch, turning the ground and animal into a blazing inferno. Gezora's screams were more child than adult, as it fled back into the sea. Unfortunately for it, it was far too late, and the animal was mortally wounded. The ocean took back its flesh and blood, swallowing the dead monster with its watery embrace. Yog retreated, casting off its deceased host in order to find another.

Godzilla, Monster Of Monsters
Despite not having actually appeared in a proper Godzilla movie, Gezora is the first boss the Monster King faces in the 1988 NES game, Godzilla, Monster Of Monsters. Since the monsters repeat on each level, with new final planet bosses each time, Gezora is likely the most often-fought boss as well. Its tentacle-sting attack is difficult to get past in close combat, and the AI has the habit of blocking Godzilla and Mothra into a corner, rarely winning but usually enough to make the round time out. Some players have described this as annoying. For the adventurous, a 'Boss Rush' code is available, wherein all the enemy monsters are faced one right after the other, and Gezora is again the first to be fought.

The NES Godzilla Creepypasta, in which the protagonist fights a demonically-possessed version of this game, also features Gezora, in a way appropriate to the grim events it tells of. As always the first boss, Gezora when defeated doesn't 'de-rezz' into the ground as usual. In this case, the sprites break up, turn red and spread around the screen until only of Gezora's eyes, now red as well, can be seen. The player takes this as merely a game glitch on an old dusty used game system and cartridge, and cleans it off before resetting the game. But in fact, it is the first indication that something is very very wrong.
