Rinar

Rinar appeared in 2001 OVA called Ultraman Gaia: Once Again Gaia. Rinar (リナール Rināru) were a species of small sea creatures, the first appeared in the Tsuburaya Productions OVA, Ultraman Gaia: Once Again Gaia.

Rinars were undersea organisms, they a sort of intelligent/advanced plankton-like species. One day, their city were under attack by Gakuzom, a remnant of Zogu's servants. The monster successfully took over their city forcing them to send out a distress message to the surface which took about two weeks for help to arrive.

One of them, Melissa (メリッサ) emerged from the sea and ventured onto the surface, taking on the form of a human girl and met Hiroya Fujimiya, the former human host of Ultraman Agul who was now on the run from GUARD when he was mistakenly believed to responsible for setting Zonnel to rampage, the beast had already predicted of Gakuzom's arrival. In an abandoned warehouse she healed Fujimiya's injuries and talked to him. When the GUARD forces arrived and surround them, a GUARD detective appeared with the powerless Agulater now in his possession after Fujimiya thrown it and mistakenly assuming Fujimiya to used the little girl as a hostage during his attempt to escape. But when the Baiakuhe surfaced, Melissa donated some of her energy to the powerless Agulater to restore Agul's light and returned to her people, entrusting him in his duty. Knowing what to do, Fujimiya transformed into Agul again and battled several Baiakuhes before dealing their leader.

At the same time, Gamu Takayama and Team Marlin rode the Siren 7500 and dove undersea where they discovered the Rinar city. Witnessing Gakuzom, they fired with everything they had but Gakuzom shrugged it off and went to the surface, attacking Tokyo. Gamu, the only one still conscious from the beast's counterattack, witnessed Rinars entering their submarine and donated their light to his Esplender, restoring Gaia's light and enabling Gamu to transform into Ultraman Gaia again and battle Gakuzom.

Despite this however, the monster was proven a challenge as he merged with his minions and overpowered the duo Ultra. While all seemed lost the Rinar charged the Ultras again and finally able to eliminate Gakuzom, finally saving both surface and underwater world.
