Gandal

General Gandal is a major antagonist in Grendizer. He is the leader of the Vegan Empire attack on Earth, having his subordinate Blaki do most of the dirty work.

Appearance
Gandal occasionally appears to be a man wearing a suit that conceals his body. During certain times, Gandal's face splits open to reveal Lady Gandal. At first Lady Gandal appeared as a small female entity with long red hair and wearing a red outfit with a rod. When Lady Gandal's body was destroyed, she began to take full control over Gandal's body. She appears as a more feminine appearing version of Gandal with makeup, larger eyebrows, and a diamond decoration on her forehead.

History
With Blaki failing at every attempt to destroy the Grendizer, Gandal became heavily annoyed at his subordinate's simple-mindedness. He then made his own attempts to destroy the robot, but with little success with King Vega forcing Gandal to pair him up with Zuril after Blaki's death. Lady Gandal's body was also destroyed in battle and had to share Gandal's in order to discuss strategies.

In episodes 73 and 74, Lady Gandal used Vega Beast Gragra to destroy Grendizer. Tired of everyone deciding her fate, she contacts the Space Science Laboratory and tells she will kill King Vega so that she can live in peace. At Skull Moon, she almost shot Vega until Gandal took control of the body and killed Lady Gandal by shooting himself in the eye. After that he went to destroy the Grendizer with the Mothership, he made the mecha fall in the sea with him following but Grendizer pulls up and Gandal dies along Mothership in boiling water.
