Death Battle Info (Fanon)[]
Magnetum Ray[]
Jiger can emit a high-frequency light ray from her head known as the Magnetum Ray (マグネチューム光線 Magunechūmu Kōsen). This ray can burn anything in its path and reduce humans to bleached skeletons instantly. It is ineffective at burning Gamera, though the high-frequency sound waves damage his eardrums.
Solid Saliva Missiles[]
Jiger can fire needles of solidified saliva, known as Solid Saliva Missiles (唾液固形ミサイル Daeki Kokei Misairu), from the corners of both sides of her nose. She used these missiles to skewer Gamera's limbs and make him unable to retract his limbs into his shell. Gamera learned to counter this attack in their second encounter using his Steel Frame Attack. Jiger's offspring can fire an imperfect form of this attack, which results in a highly adhesive liquid.
Vampiric Tactic[]
Jiger has a stinger attached to her ovipositor in her tail, which can implant her parasitic young into the body of a foe. This larval Jiger parasitizes the host by sucking its blood, and as such this maneuver is called the Vampiric Tactic (吸血戦法 Kyūketsu Senpō). At the time Gamera vs. Jiger was released, this attack was also known as the Transparency Tactic (スケスケ戦法 Sukesuke Senpō), as it rendered Gamera's head and arm transparent.
Magnetic Suckers[]
Jiger is equipped with Magnetic Suckers (マグネチック吸盤 Magunechikku Kyūban) on the palms of her hands and the soles of her feet. These suckers possess one million times the suction power of an electric vacuum cleaner and can be used to pull in objects that are far away. She uses them to grab rocks and throw them at Gamera. By grabbing onto Gamera's shell with these suckers, Jiger can perform a Deadly Airborne Throw (必殺空中回転投げ Hissatsu Kūchū Kaiten'nage).
Agility[]
Jiger can run at high speeds during her first encounter with Gamera when she stunned Gamera with her Solid Saliva Missiles knocking Gamera over
Gill[]
After consuming seawater, Jiger can expel jets of it from the gills (エラ era) located on the sides of her head to propel herself forward at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. This allows her to glide over the sea and smash ships in half, or to fly through the air for a short distance.
Weaknesses[]
As Jiger emits high-frequency waves, she is weakened by low-frequency ones. This weakness is lethal to her offpring, which is killed when a communicator is stuck to its head. Jiger can be kept at bay when low frequencies are played through loudspeakers, and was kept dormant by the Devil's Whistle which emitted such frequencies as wind blew through it for millennia. This weakness was not lethal to the adult Jiger, though Gamera was ultimately able to kill her by simply throwing the Devil's Whistle directly into her skull.
