Description
Multi-Colored Sand Lizard is a Destructroid that appears in the 1973 theatrical 3-D film Tobidasu Jinzō Ningen Kikaidā. This character was created by the villainous Professor Gill and serves as one of the android monsters deployed by the criminal organization DARK. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard was designed to command the resurrected Destructroid army that Professor Gill brings back using an all-powerful device capable of restoring any destroyed robot. In the film, this character is tasked with overseeing the Five Major Cities Annihilation Plan, a scheme aimed at destroying major urban centers.
In terms of personality and motivation, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard is a loyal and aggressive servant of DARK, driven by a desire to eliminate Kikaider and complete the organization's destructive objectives. The character shows initiative in pursuing key targets, including the young woman Yuka, who possesses the key to the underground factory where the restoration device is located. When confronted by Kikaider, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard demonstrates a ruthless combat style and a willingness to fight until seriously damaged.
The role of Multi-Colored Sand Lizard in the story is that of a primary antagonist and field commander. After Professor Gill reactivates previously defeated Destructroids, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard leads these forces in battle against Kikaider. The character engages Kikaider directly, first attacking the hero after he rescues Yuka, and later pursuing her to her workplace at Dream Land. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard's actions force Kikaider into multiple confrontations, ultimately contributing to the hero being severely wounded and requiring repairs from the amnesiac Dr. Kohmyoji.
Key relationships are defined by the character's allegiance to Professor Gill and DARK, as well as its opposition to Kikaider. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard also interacts with other resurrected Destructroids as part of the command structure, coordinating their attacks. The character's relationship with Yuka and Hiroshi is adversarial, as it pursues them to retrieve the key needed to activate the factory's self-destruct mechanism.
Notable abilities include a coiling tongue used to ensnare opponents, a detachable tail that can be used as a weapon or projectile, launchable head spikes that release acid upon contact, and the capacity to burrow underground for surprise attacks. The character also possesses dual pectoral fans that may assist in mobility or combat, and is able to assume a human disguise to move among people undetected. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard's primary offensive technique is the Tokage Poison Fang, which inflicts severe damage on Kikaider during their first encounter, leaving the hero critically injured and unable to continue fighting. Despite these formidable powers, the character ultimately meets defeat when its tail is destroyed in battle, leading to its final elimination by Kikaider after his repair and return to full capability.
