- ―Ginoga curses at Kuuga before his first death[src]
Me·Ginoga·De[src] (メ・ギノガ・デ)[1][2], also known as Unidentified Lifeform #26A (未確認生命体第２６号Ａ, Mikakunin Seimeitai Dai Nijūrokugō Ē), is a mushroom Gurongi who assumes the form of an effeminate man with a white hat and long bleached hair. He prefers hot environments like Shinjuku. Ginoga's special ability is to regenerate at a cellular level, becoming stronger as a result with resistance to the infliction he receives from a fight.
History[]
When his turn came, Ginoga starts killing two people with his spores being delivered in the form of a kiss or as a spore cloud. However, he unexpectedly attacked Yuusuke without realizing that he's Kuuga, fighting him in a battle where he poisons Kuuga while being wounded. Confident that nothing will get in his way, room goes off to kill the remaining 125 to fill his quota. But when hit by Modified Bullets, Ginoga escapes the police and makes his way outside Shinjuku, regenerating with a reddish tint and able to kill people by using his spore clouds to penetrate the gasmasks.
After a showdown with the entire police force, Kuuga arrives in Growing Form to battle the Gurongi with the police supporting him, using a stronger version of the Growing Kick to kill him. However, only Ginoga's arm remained, which regenerated into a mindless Mutant (変異体, Hen'itai). But as the clone was not fully matured, it lacked the ability to regenerate or poison its victims.
Kuuga arrives to fight the Gurongi in Mighty Form, managing to use his Mighty Kick to disrupt the Mutant's cellular structure as it melts into a puddle of ooze, finally ending Ginoga's existance.

World of Kuuga[]
At least one Me·Ginoga·De was part of a group of human-turned Gurongi created when they were exposed to N·Gamio·Zeda's miasma. Some were later absorbed by him in a last effort to defeat Kuuga and Decade. The remaining Gurongi died after Gamio was defeated. [Transcendence]
