Woo (Ultra monster)

is a fictional, yeti-like, supernatural monster from the 1966-1967 television series Ultraman(Urutoraman,1966). Although the character itself was an original creation for the show, the name however, was a holdover from an earlier, unproduced concept, AbOUT a corporal alien visitor. The unmade concept would ultimately become a fully realized program in 2006's Bio Planet WoO, while the same-named monster of this article would return in other entries of the Ultraman franchise.

Woo's character subtitle is Legend Monster (DENSETSU KAIJUH), and made its depute in episode 30 of Ultraman, The Phantom Snow Mountain (February 5th, 1967). Outside its own natural strength, Woo has the ability to cause great blizzards.

Despite a strong resemblance to a long-haired yeti, Woo is actually the manifestation of a human spirit; particularly the mother of girl named Yuki. Hiding in the mountains of Ihda-yama in Niigata Prefecture, Woo only emerges when called by her daughter Yuki, usually to protect her from the hostile locals, who superstitiously refer to the girl as Yukinko (Showy Child, as in child-like snow-spirit).

The sightings of Woo attracts the Science Patrol, who come to the scene to investigate, but are constantly obstructed by Yuki herself. Unfortunately, an unrelated and accidental death of some random tourist, leads the locals to lay the blame on Yuki, and chase her down as a mob. This foolish action causes Woo to appear, and because Yuki is in danger, retaliates against the villagers in a vicious manner never before seen.

Science Patrol member Hayata transforms into his giant alter ego of Ultraman, to battle the monster. Ultimately though, Woo calms down from rampaging, after a desperate plea from Yuki, and fades away, likely to find peace in the hereafter. Ironically, if not fittingly so, the nearby ski resort, the main score of income for the cruel locals, is destroyed in Woo and Ultraman's final fight.

Woo's height is around 40 Meters tall, and weighs strangely enough, 0 tons, perhaps due to the monster's ghostly backgrond.
