M.O.G.U.E.R.A. (Japanese: モゲラ Hepburn: Mogera?) (sometimes spelled as MOGERA) is a mecha who first appeared in Toho's 1957 film The Mysterians. The name is derived from mogura (土竜（もぐら）?) the Japanese word for mole.
In The Mysterians, Moguera is a robot used by the Mysterians to assist in destroying humanity to make them bend to their will and supply them with a sufficient amount of land and women. It attacked a small village with its eye beams, and proved immune to machinegun fire, flamethrowers, and mortar rounds. It was destroyed when the bridge it was standing on collapsed due to the military dynamiting it.
A second Moguera appeared as Markalite beam cannons assaulted the Mysterians' base. This Moguera tried to destroy one of the Markalites by burrowing underneath it, but the weapon fell on top of it, crushing and destroying the short-lived second Moguera.
In Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. (Mobile Operation Godzilla Universal Expert Robot Aero-Type) was a UN-built mecha designed to fight Godzilla following the failure of G-Force's Mechagodzilla. Whilst having similarities to the Mech piloted by the Mysterians, it is a different character under Toho's copyright.
