Gugalanna

, the , was the greatest of Divine Beasts in and a familiar of Ishtar's. Gugalanna can be manifested during Ishtar's Noble Phantasms, partially in the case of the Archer Pseudo-Servant's Gugalanna Strike and fully in the case of the lingering echo's Gugalanna Strike: Outrage.
==Profile==
===Background===
Gugalanna was released onto the Earth by the god Anu after Ishtar clung to him in tears and asked for its release for her revenge on Gilgamesh, who insulted her and did not respond to her temptations.Fate/Grand Order Profile of Ishtar, translated by Master of Chaos at Beast's Lair.Fate/Grand Order material IV - Ishtar, p.296-309, translated by Clyton at Beast's Lair. The "Bull of Heaven" is a disaster of extreme magnitude that is clad in storms. When it appeared, it brought about a flood and dark clouds that covered the world, causing a seven-year famine and destruction to occur on earth, and in other words, was bringing the downfall of . Against this Divine Beast none could match, Gilgamesh and Enkidu worked together to stand against it and repelled it splendidly, binding it with chains and destroying it with that weapon. The clouds faded and the land was saved from the flood, but naturally, Ishtar's rage had not lessened, and she requested death for either of the two of them from the gods because it was a sin for one with a human body to kill the beast of the gods. Ishtar's wish was granted, and one of the two, Enkidu, who was created by the gods, was unable to defy that decree, slowly weakened, and died.
===Appearance===
Gugalanna is said to be the size of a mountain.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts - Section 19: "Star of the Beginning, We Look Up at the Sky" However, this might be an understatement. It is noted that its length is in the triple digits of kilometers range, and that each bone in the golden and blue beast is the size of a large city. Due to this, just its hoof and leg alone towers above even the tallest Servants.Fate/Grand Order - Dead Heat Summer Race! 
Furthermore, its body is surrounded by a cumulonimbus over 500-kilometers in diameter. In Ishtar's second Interlude, the Protagonist comments that he can't see where the bull ends and the clouds begin, such is the bull's size, and Enkidu states that its legs can easily level mountains. In its Younger form, Gugalanna's appearance is a comically small version of itself no larger than Ishtar's foot. It has blue horns, four spine protrusions, and two golden colored stripes.

===Personality===
==Role==
===Fate/strange Fake===
Gugalanna is summoned by the existence that has possessed Fillia. It has been brought forth from a Parallel World that appears to "not connect to anywhere."Fate/strange Fake Volume 4 - Bridge Chapter: "One Day, Above the Sky" It is implied to have been taken from the Ishtar of the world of Fate/Grand Order.
It appears surrounded by a massive hurricane that conceals its true nature and appearance from outside observers. This hurricane was coincidentally named Hurricane Inanna by TV networks and the internet, in reference to an alternate name of Ishtar.Fate/strange Fake Volume 7 - Chapter 22: "The First and Last Breather Day" When False Lancer deflects a satellite sent falling towards Snowfield by Thia Escardos during their battle, Gugalanna briefly emerges from the hurricane to devour it.Fate/strange Fake Volume 7 - Chapter 21: Day 3 "Beings Created in Man's Own Image" Recognizing the threat it poses, Faldeus' organization plan to destroy both it and Thia with a nuclear weapon in a plan codenamed Aurora Fall.Fate/strange Fake Volume 7 - Intro Chapter: "-----"
===Fate/Grand Order===
====Seventh Singularity: Babylonia====
When everyone comes up with the plan to use Gugalanna against Tiamat, Ishtar shamefully admits that she somehow lost him. It was implied to have been taken by Fillia into the world of Fate/strange Fake.
====Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue====
Ereshkigal Alter summons the legs of Gugalanna to fight ORT.
====Dead Heat Summer Race! The Ishtar Cup of Hopes and Dreams====
Unable to summon Gugalanna due to the end of the Age of Gods, Ishtar decides to create a new one from scratch. She does this by planting Venus textures in a singularity located in Connacht. She then convinces her master and several servants to hold a race under the belief that it is a ritual that will erase the singularity. In actuality the racers, carrying parts of Gugalanna are tracing a sigil while carving magical energy into the land, combined with Ishtar’s divine wealth via her Quantum Power System will allow her to recreate the Bull of Heaven. Upon completion of the race, Gugalanna begins to reassemble into Gugalanna Mark II, but before it is complete Quetzalcoatl destroys it.
====Interlude: Return of Ishtar====
Undaunted by this past failure, she attempts to make a Gugalanna Mark III within the Mesopotamian Singularity in her second interlude so she can win a rematch against Gilgamesh and Enkidu, only this time using knowledge from Chaldea to modify chronology and nexus according to her will to have the Goddess Singularity be under her "Venus regulations", granted her as much power as she had in the original Epic. She also recruits Mash and the Protagonist, even temporarily restoring the former's pre-Lostbelt Galahad powers, under the promise that the Singularity will not interfere with the Human History. However, the Mark III goes berserk and start attacking her because she didn't notice that the lapis lazuli horn needed to turn on and control it that she stole from Uruk's temple were replicas. She is ultimately forced to destroy it with the aid of Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Mash and the Protagonist.Fate/Grand Order - Ishtar Interlude 2: Return of Ishtar
==Abilities==
Gugalanna is said to be the strongest Divine Beast of . It was such that the gods could not tame it, so only Ishtar was able to control it as she wills. Having required the combined might of Gilgamesh and Enkidu to defeat it, Gilgamesh holds it in high regard, originally hinging on it as a final safeguard in the battle against Gorgon and later as a key component in defeating Tiamat. Although he has no personal faith in Ishtar, Gilgamesh is wiling to side with her for the very reason of having Gugalanna as their battle power. Simply summoning it can cause great damage to the environment. It can raze a city within moments of activation, and it can burn the dry. 
Ishtar directly compares 8000 Bel Laḫmu clumped together and body-slamming at the ziggurat's rooftop to Gugalanna's hoof.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts - Section 21: "Absolute Demonic Front Mesopotamia (II)" Gugalanna's divine aura also crushes and swallow space, breaking the concepts of range and direction. Ishtar manifests its power with the Noble Phantasm Gugalanna Strike.
===Hurricane===
Gugalanna is clad in a massive storm, appearing in the center of a large hurricane 800 kilometers in diameter when summoned by Fillia. When Gugalanna was approaching Snowfield City, its feet were compared to four huge tornadoes that strode across the land, shrouded in flashes of lightning.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Chapter 17: "Breaking Dawn and Wakeless Dreams II" After Thia Escardos witnessed Gugalanna block the largest and most powerful meteor in A Clockwork Abaddon with one of its horns, he deduced that Gugalanna itself might be even stronger than the hurricane that surrounds it. Obviously, comparing different forms of calamities is comparing apples and oranges, and cataclysmic earthquakes are inherently more damaging to the world than giant tornados, but looking only at their energy numbers, the bulky hurricane has the power of a hundred magnitude 9 earthquakes. After swallowing Thia's meteor, gold and azure light shone in the hurricane’s interior, explosively increasing its energy level without changing its size. The 50m/s winds became 80 m/s, momentarily approaching the historical wind speed world record of 100 m/s. Gugallana could easily break the record if it dedicated all of its power to raise the wind speeds, however, it avoided doing so.

===Noble Phantasm===
Gugalanna's Noble Phantasm is .
==Forms and Alternate Versions==
===Mark II===
When Ishtar creates Mark II, the storm has gale winds and the storm clouds surrounding it emit lightning capable of damaging and destroying Saint Graphs. Its manifestation caused earthquakes that were beyond ordinary earthquakes, said to be the earth itself crying in pain as it was sacrificed to form the Mark II. Ishtar claims that Mark II would easily able to destroy the Singularity it was in just be stomping on the distortion, though Mash and Da Vinci both objected to; Mash believing it to be equivalent to using a bomb to get rid of a stain, while Da Vinci noted that, although it would get rid of the Singularity, it would also destroy the land, Connacht, that the Singularity is on. Ishtar says its "divine radiance might be so intense that it crushes all sorts of tangible and intangible things.", and that with it complete, she will regain her Authority over the Heavens and return to being Inanna, her true self; a Ruler Ishtar that is the highest Goddess among goddesses who collects Authority from every other God to use as ornamentation. While the group of fourteen Servants present in the "Dead Heat Summer Race!" are able to put up a fight against the partially summoned Mark II, they are unable to bring forth the power to defeat a single foreleg by themselves themselves, the Bull being practically invulnerable to them due to an incarnated Divine Beast being law in this world. Only Quetzalcoatl is able to defeat partial-manifested Gugalanna due to her being beyond the capacity of humanity.
The Mark II's Saint Graph Designation is Rider in Fate/Grand Order.
===Mark III===
The Mark III was able to cause Earthquakes with its steps, and casually crush Mt. Ebih along with the Temple of Ishtar by stepping on it with its hooves, its massive size stepping so thoroughly that even the hardest gems get turned to dust. However, due to being activated with a replica of the original Lapis Lazuli horn, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Mash, Ishtar and the Protagonist are able to defeat it before it reaches Uruk, with Gilgamesh commenting that the Bull was past its prime and that he didn't even need to be here for the Bull to be defeated.
It's Saint Graph Designation is Alter Ego.
