Zanjioh (ザンジオー, Zanjiō): A salamander monster. He was the leader of Shocker's operation to acquire an artificial gravity device. He had great combat potential, fire breathing abilities and was also able to turn into a foam to move through small spaces. He captured Tamami, daughter of the lead researcher of the gravity device, and attempted to steal the formula hidden inside a teddy bear. He was tracked down and destroyed by Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2's Rider Double Kick.
Revival[]
He was eventually revived by a sacrifice from Jigoku Taishi in episode 66 of the TV series, going on to work under Kamikirikid. In that role, Zanjioh easily lost to the improved Kamen Rider 1. He was destroyed by Kamen Rider 1's Rider Nage and was thrown into Harinezras.
Kamen Rider vs. Jigoku Taishi[]
Zanjioh would return to life yet again in Kamen Rider vs. Jigoku Taishi. Zanjioh led a group of other revived monsters in another ambush to Takeshi Hongo and Taki. He fought against Kamen Rider 1 for a while, standing in a stalemate, only to reveal that his forces were just a distraction while Shocker prepared their new weapon. Kamen Rider 1 left without finishing his battle with him.

Zanjioh was revived as part of the Dai-Shocker remnant, Super Shocker. He was part of Super Shocker's forces in the final battle, surviving even up to Doras' arrival and siding with it alongside other monsters.
