Isoginjaguar (イソギンジャガー, Isoginjagā; 84) - Isoginjaguar was a sea anemone/jaguar monster created by Gel-Shocker.
Original Isoginjaguar
Yosuke Katsurajo (桂木良助, Katsurajō Yosuke), father of Maki Katsurajo (桂木マキ, Katsurajō Maki), is captured by Gel-Shocker and transformed by them into the monster Isoginjaguar. Unlike most Gel-Shocker monsters, he is actively remote controlled by General Black, while suffering immensely due to the control. After being defeated by Kamen Rider 1's Rider Point Kick, he sees his daughter Maki calling him and reverts to human form, regaining his memories and control over his own self.
Other appearances
Super Hero Taisen
A second Isoginhaguar was part of Dai-Shocker during the "Super Hero Taisen" incident. It's visually similar to the original, but sports Gel-Shocker's standard yellow boots unlike it. Dai-Shocker was led by Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade, rivaling Captain Marvelous
/Gokai Red and Dai-Zangyack. However, Rider Hunter Silva of Dai-Zangyack and Doktor G of Dai-Shocker overthrew their respective leaders and joined forces to destroy the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai, facing off against their combined forces.
In the final battle, Isoginjaguar was seen in several scenes fighting many riders and sentai members, specifically MegaBlack, TimeGreen, ShishiRanger, Battle France, Kamen Rider Black RX, and Kamen Rider J. Isoginjaguar was killed by Kamen Rider OOO's finishing attack with his Medajalibur, the OOO Bash, alongside Hades God Dagon, Scorpion Man, and Ghoster. [Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen]
