Subtitle: Invisible Monster (透明怪獣, Tōmei Kaijū)

History

Mirrorman

The Invaders sent out Chamelegon to target a nuclear submarine called the Marina that was stationed close to Tokyo. The monster soon arrived, fighter jets assaulting him before he could emerge from the water. He son emerged, quickly taking out the Self Defense Force fighter jets and disappeared with a combination of invisibility and teleportation. Following this Chamelegon used his tail to ignite fire and explosions around Tokyo Bay, causing intense havoc. Mirrorman soon showed up, having the upper hand until the monster's back fin shocked him. Chamelegon spotted the nuclear submarine stationed and walked toward it while Mirrorman was injured. The hero threw an oil refinery, allowing him to spot Chamelegon even when invisible, and then finished him off with a shot of the Mirror Knife to the back. ^{Mirrorman Entrapped}

Trivia

• Chamelegon shares its name, powers, and certain story beats with another invisible monster created by writer Hiroyasu Yamaura, who was to be the main antagonist monster from the unproduced 1976 script S.O.S. Tokyo! Godzilla's Suicide Strategy.
