History: Centuries ago, Jiger was imprisoned beneath the grounds of Wester Island and held beneath the soil by the Devil's Whistle, a large statue that creature whistle like sounds that kept the monster at bay. When a group of exploiters removed the whistle, Jiger rose up from the ground, but was met by Gamera whom appeared to do battle, knowing the monster would revive if the whistle was removed. The great beasts entered combat, and for the duration of the fight, were at a stand still. As the fight raged, Jiger fired her saliva spears into Gamera's arms and legs. The needle like attacks went strait through the turtle's limbs, and as the monster cried in pain, unable to retract its body parts into the shell, Jiger escaped into the ocean.

Jiger made her way to Osaka, smashing through the ships that were docked in the bay. The huge creature leaped into the air and smashed into the buildings, its return to the world of man was complete. The reptile was following the Devil's Whistle that was being transported to a large lab site for study and the military weapons that dared to challenge it did little but enrage the ancient beast. Entire legions of tanks and sections of the city were burnt to ash by the monster's microwave ray, and the creature went on unopposed. As night came upon the city and Jiger continued her devastating rampage, Gamera returned to face the massive reptile one more time.

As the two titans drew battle for a second time, Jiger was flipped onto her back, but used her suction to hold Gamera on her legs as the long, stinger tipped tail stabbed into his shoulder. Gamera lost another battle and fell down at the bay, his skin turning from green to white as the Baby Jiger that was injected into him did its work. Jiger won another battle and moved through the city once again before stopping to rest outside the science expo site. The horned monster once again became active when the whistle began to blare, and using its suction, grabbed the whistle and tossed it into the water.

After the Baby Jiger inside Gamera was killed, it was discovered Jiger can't stand low frequencies and was soon surrounded by massive speakers that blared the noises that kept the horned monster at bay. As Jiger was kept down by the frequencies, Gamera was revived by electric shocks, and the battle between the two was about to rage once again. Gamera was prepared for the fight this time and dodged the horned beast's saliva spears and placed telephone poles in his ears to protect himself from the dangerous ray. Gamera destroyed Jiger's tail by smashing it with the large tip of a building and then began to completely dominated the ancient monster. The turtle dove into the water and retrieved the Devil's Whistle from the sea and then tossed it into Jiger's skull, the tip impaling itself into her head. With Jiger nearing death, Gamera grabbed the monster and flew her back to Wester Island where she died once and for all.

Length: Not Available

Powers:
- Glue: Baby Jiger can fire a stream of sticky glue from its side horns.

Weaknesses: Loud noises will cause Baby Jiger to go crazy and die if exposed long enough.

First Appearance: Gamera vs. Jiger (1970)

Human Kills: Not Available
Fight Record: None

Home World: Earth
Origin: Wester Island
Type: Mystical

History: Hatched from an egg inside Gamera, the Baby Jiger began to feed on the monster's blood stream in its lungs. As Gamera was knocked out cold, two young boys entered the super turtle's body via submarine to kill the intruding monster. Their search didn't take long to find the strange beast, but lucky for them, its spears hadn't fully developed, and instead shot out streams of sticky goo. As the creature followed them, the boys threw their radio onto the creature, the high pitched sounds driving the baby crazy. The Baby Jiger screamed in agony as the sounds made it keel over dead, and also freed the guardian of the Earth from its deadly grasp.
