Doragory

is a moth Terrible-Monster created by Yapool that debuted in episode 7 of Ultraman Ace. He was created by Yapool by combining a moth with a space monster using the Terrible-Monster Creating Machine. Renowned for his sheer strength and brutal fighting style, the original Doragory posed a significant challenge for Ace, and could only be defeated by the hero accessing his Ace Blade to slice him to pieces. Since then, numerous other Doragory have appeared in the Ultraman Series, and remain prominent threats for the respective Ultras they fight.

==History==
===Ultraman Ace===
Appearing mysteriously in a forest while Alien Metron Jr. planned to destroy TAC. Doragory made its way towards TAC's HQ, and easily withstood most of TAC's attacks. Hokuto and Minami transformed into Ultraman Ace and fought with the Terrible-Monster while Metron Jr. attacked the main control center of TAC. The fight lasted a long time until Ace used the Ultra Barrier, an attack which took up a lot of energy, but managed to incapacitate Doragory by sending him into another dimension.
Once Metron Jr.'s identity was exposed to the others, Yapool brought Doragory back to Earth to assist Metron Jr., who was revealed to be working alongside Yapool. Minami and Hokuto transformed back into Ultraman Ace again and fought both Doragory and Alien Metron Jr. but was quickly overpowered, Things only worsened when the monster Muruchi II suddenly appeared, joining in on the fray, and attacking Ace as well. Muruchi's appearance, however, did not last long after he accidentally rammed into Doragory angering the Terrible-Monster into viciously killing Muruchi by tearing off his jaw and left leg. Ace resumed attacking Doragory from behind, but it was pointless as Metron Jr. and Doragory soon double-teamed Ace once again. Ace had no choice but to use the Ace Barrier again, sending both Metron Jr. and Doragory to another dimension by splitting in two.
Doragory and Alien Metron Jr. later reappeared to stop a missile that was sent to destroy a meteor that was threatening Earth was nearing its launch. TAC attacked them both until Minami and Hokuto transformed into Ultraman Ace once again. Ace managed to hold both at bay until the missile launched. Ace managed to kill Metron Jr. by slicing him in half with the Vertical Ultra Guillotine, but Doragory remained active, and brutally beat Ace until his Color Timer stopped. Ace fell to the ground, unconscious and near death. 
Miraculously, at the same time, the missile finally struck the meteor, blowing it to pieces and ending the threat it posed to Earth. Sunlight struck Ace's head fin, and his power and life was completely restored! Ace started fighting Doragory with ease until he punched a hole straight through Doragory's belly. As the monster cried out in pain, Ace then created the Ace Blade to slice off Doragory's head. He then destroyed the remaining body with his Metalium Beam, ensuring that it stayed dead. 
====Trivia====

===Ultraman Mebius===
Doragory reappeared in episode 25 of the series Ultraman Mebius.
The second Terrible-Monster to return to Earth, Doragory appeared out of the sky from the same dimension that Vakishim emerged from and instantly began attacking the surrounding area. GUYS quickly flew into action, attacking the monster until Doragory fled back to his dimension without warning. In reality, GUYS learned that this Doragory was the original, revived by Yapool, and was still trying to destroy the missile base from thirty-three years prior. Taking the form of a large moth, Doragory attacked a dimensional expert Professor Fujisawa, the professor who invented a special weapon, entering her body and possessing her in order to destroy the weapon believing it was the original. After failing to destroy it, Doragory left her body and manifested itself into its normal form outside, with Yapool intact. In no time flat, Mirai was able to turn into Ultraman Mebius and the two titans fought hard. Mebius seemed to have the upper hand at first until Doragory managed to knock down Mebius, grabbing his face with his hand. GUYS knew that Doragory was trying to tear Mebius apart like Muruchi II in the past so they knew they had to act fast, and so teamed up with Mebius to attack the Terrible-Monster. Doragory then tried to escape using his dimension breaking powers, but Mebius transformed into Mebius Brave and ultimately destroyed Doragory with the Passi-Blade Attack. 
====Trivia====

Verokron then duplicated himself and fired his missiles at the defenseless kaiju, the latter then transforming into a Spark Doll. Both Verokron and Doragory were defeated when Ginga fired his Ginga Spark Lance at them and then Victory slashed them with his new Shepherdon Saber.

Doragory, along with Vakishim and Verokron, was summoned by Yapool to deal with Leo and Astra, who were sent by Ultraman King to stop the reviving Space Emperor on Planet Gua.
