History[]

Ultraman[]

Gavadon was once a simple drawing of a Monster by a young boy named Mushiba. Although many other kids found his design lacking and laughable, Mushiba continued to show affection towards his Monster, and one day drew Gavadon on some Clay Pipes with some Chalk. Unknown to Mushiba though, at the same time, the Earth was being pelted by some unusual Cosmic Rays that were causing 2-D drawings to become real-life, and one of them struck his chalk-drawing of Gavadon! Upon being brought to life, Gavadon (who at the time resembled a large white tadpole-like creature) posed no threat to humanity and only wanted to sleep peacefully.^[1] The Science Patrol however feared that Gavadon would be hostile, and so they attacked it with their VTOL. Although his tail was severed by the Science Patrol, Gavadon wandered around in pain only for a brief bit, before eventually returning back to its slumber. Gavadon continued to sleep all day until sundown, where the Monster disappeared into thin air. (Sunlight was the source of Gavadon's existence from the Cosmic Rays, and without it, Gavadon couldn't exist at night.) Meanwhile, Mushiba was given a newfound respect by the other kids from before, and they were soon excited to see Gavadon again that the kids proceeded to re-design Gavadon to be much more colorful and ferocious-looking.

The next morning, the new Gavadon returned and like before, the Monster did no harm to its surroundings.^[2] All it did was sleep until it disappeared once more. Despite the Monster's harmless nature though, the Science Patrol decided it was best to attack Gavadon anyway as the Monster's presence was causing a problem for Japan's economy due to everyone being too scared to come near the Monster. The next day as Gavadon was fast asleep, the Defense Force arrived and they attacked Gavadon with Tanks and Flamethrowers. Instead of fighting though, Gavadon fled to a more quiet location so that it could continue sleeping. As it did so though, the Monster was then confronted by Ultraman! With no other choice, Gavadon tried to fight back against the Hero, but Ultraman was much more stronger than the Monster, and he easily beat down Gavadon with no trouble. As Ultraman fought Gavadon, all the kids who designed Gavadon pleaded Ultraman to stop fighting and not to kill Gavadon. Despite their pleas though, Ultraman ignored them as it was his duty to stop the Monster, and so he took Gavadon and they both flew away without saying a word to the Kids's shock.

Later that night as the kids were lamenting at the loss of Gavadon, they were informed by Ultraman himself that while Gavadon had to go, he made up for the skirmish by turning the Monster into a Constellation that would appear once a year on July 7th.^{[Terrifying Cosmic Rays]}

Ultraman Blazar[]

A kaiju materialized from doodles under the influence of special cosmic rays that rained down to Earth.^[3] When certain unknown elements in the cosmic rays fuse with the sun's rays, the two-dimensional object will transform into a three-dimensional object. When the sun sets, it returns to its original state; therefore, Gavadon disappears and reverts to its original doodle.

Gavadon was a doodle that Gento's son, Jun, drew in his sketchbook in a reserved manner inside the tent of his friend Arata’s secret base under the bridge.That night, a mysterious light from the sky caused the materialization. Gavadon was materialized into several dozen meters in size, coherently to its doodle. Even when Gavadon materializes to such size, what it only does is just sleep. However, the the top brass of the GGF decides that even if Gavadon is merely sleeping, it is a threat to civilian life by interfering with lifelines.

Taking into account the possibility that Gavadon may wake up and start rampaging, the GGF decide to attack Gavadon with guided missiles after the residents have been evacuated. However, the guided missiles bounce off Gavadon's soft body, and the surrounding buildings are hit by the guided missiles.^{[4][Betwixt Morn and Dusk]}
