Ultraman, of course, the silver-skinned, oval eyed hero who, with the aid of a special device, is able to grow to tremendous size to do battle with giant monsters. However, the Earth's toxic atmosphere limits his his transformation to only a few minutes!
And of course, the Giant's Mask is a silver, oval eyed device that lets link grow to enormous size to fight a monster, but quickly depletes his mana reserves, limiting his transformation to only a few minutes!
