Concept of Angara
Angara was a hero character who mainly fought with evil enemies who possessed supernatural powers like himself. Dr. Kunal, a research scientist on fictional Angara Island, was the inventor of Angara. He had taught the wild animals that were present in the island to communicate and talk with humans. At a certain, terrorist nations attacked the island and Dr. Kunal and the animals were cornered and had no place to escape. Death at the hands of the criminal elements had become imminent for them. Dr. Kunal, upon the request of the all the animals, decided to unite the animals and transform them into a highly intelligent being which will be more powerful than any other human being. He implanted the a gorilla with the brain of a fox, skin of a Rhino, strength of an elephant, heart of a lion and eyes of vulture and created a super intelligent creature and named him Angara, as the name of the island.
Angara fought and defeated the evil and other criminal elements with his supernatural abilities and his intelligence. He had various friends who helped him in his numerous missions and adventures. Jatayu and Whale Rani were his closest friends and allies. Jatayu was a large eagle and Whale Rani was a whale who helped Angara whenever he needed them. Angara defeated his rivals with strength from elephant, intellect from fox and his own wisdom.
