In all of its incarnations, the Gyaos species are agile fliers.
Supersonic Scalpel
The Gyaos' most iconic signature ability is the Supersonic Scalpel it fires from its mouth. This attack takes the form of a thin yellow beam which can slice apart objects with incredible precision.
History
Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys
The Gyaos returned in a new, evolved form known as the Gyaos Hyper, after Gamera's Ultimate Plasma, used to destroy Legion in Gamera 2: Advent of Legion, drained the earth's energy, creating the right conditions for more Gyaos to hatch in different locations throughout the world, such as the Philippines. Early in the film, Gamera battles a pair of Hyper Gyaos in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, killing them but also killing and injuring as many as fifteen to twenty thousand civilians. After Gamera defeated Irys (itself theorised to be a Gyaos mutation or evolution) in Kyoto, thousands of Gyaos swarmed towards Japan, intent on killing Gamera once and for all.
Gamera 4: Truth
Although being NOT considered as a fully canonical production, Gyaos Hyper also appeared in the independent sequel.
Gamera used the Ultimate Plasma to defeat majority of the swarm that attacked Japan, however survived individuals and Albino Gyaos slaughtered Gamera with Supersonic Scalpel.However, the mutant individual suddenly attacked its kins, slaughtering them all and fed on their corpses.
