Biography[]
Shellfish Mask was the Masked Monster placed in charge of a transport through the ocean across the Pacific to Shikoku in order to deliver a missile developed by the Black Cross that, when fired, would have lead to the island's complete destruction. However, the shellfish crashed before he could reach the mainland and ended up on a beach near Matsuyama, where Peggy and Yoko discovered it. They two tried to find the contents of the creature, only for Yoko to get caught by its tongue before Tsuyoshi saves them. Discovering that the shellfish was potentially associated with the Black Cross Army, they try to bring in a specialist while faking out the enemy, but their spy is discovered and the Black Cross captures him anyway. Kaijo ultimately discovers the enemy trying to send a fake in place of the scientist and rescues him, but as they get the scientist, a Zolder squadron takes the shellfish away and retrieves the missile within.
When Akira and Kenji try to get back the shellfish, it reveals itself and attacks Aorenger, throwing him into the nearby ocean. Shellfish Mask then takes over the full battle to launch the missile and destroy Shikoku, but the Gorengers track it down and using the guidance left by their missing teammate, they are able to stop it before launch. During their battle, the Gorenger try to break through Shellfish Mask's shell, only for Peggy to finally blast it open with her Momo Cards within the crack. The team then uses Gorenger Hurricane, and he at first blocked the attack, the second attempt of this move became a pearl, which the Shellfish Mask put in himself, leading to his destruction.
