Uobouzu of the Nessie (ネッシーのウオボ
History[]
Uobouzu is a veteran Yuumajuu that was part of the Yuumajuu army that attacked Earth thousands of years ago. His main power is his ability to steal shadows with his extending tongue, causing his victims to become paralyzed. He proved to be a very dangerous foe and the Gosei Angels of that time had difficulty fighting him off. He is famous for almost killing the Groundion Headder and weakening it to the point where it got separated from the rest of the Angels and became buried underneath a glacier. After Uobouzu was defeated, he was banished into a foggy lake where he was unable to prey on innocent victims.
In the present, Uobouzu is recruited by Makuin who asks for his aid to finish what he started ages ago. He proved to be just as powerful a foe as he was in the past and the Goseiger's have trouble stopping him. Uobouzu eventually meets his end against Ground Gosei Great.
Personality[]
He talks in riddles and in an ominous manner about how he hates cloudy weather, because it prevents him from stealing shadows when there is no sun.
