Guarde

Guarde appeared in 1997 TV series called Ultraman Tiga. Guarde (ガーディー Gādī also spelled "Gardi") is a kaiju who was the pet of Evil Tiga.

Long ago, Guarde was the companion of an Ultra who would later become known as Evil Tiga. Much like the rest of the Giants of Light, would find himself solidified in stone with his friend for centuries. In the present day when Keigo Masaki merged himself with Guarde's ally's statue, transforming him into Evil Tiga, Guarde had found himself a host in the form of a nearby dog, who was injured during the scuffle between Daigo and Masaki. Taking the dog's body as a host, Guarde came to life and returned to the surface to confront his tainted companion.

Guarde pleaded for his friend and master to stop his destruction, and was visibly reduced to tears, but Masaki's control over Evil Tiga was too much and the Evil Ultra viciously attacked his enemy. Guarde continued to try and gain some control of his old ally while trying to fend off his attacks, but it was all in vain. Eventually, Ultraman Tiga would also return to the surface after having been weakened by Evil Tiga as well, but he was too late in saving Gardi as Evil Tiga blasted his former companion, killing Guarde in cold blood. After a brutal battle between the Tigas, with Ultraman Tiga emerging victorious, the kindly Ultra took Gardi's body into space to honor the last of his kind. Later Guarde's injured host runs past Daigo and the GUTS team, indicating that it might have not been killed.

Powers and Abilities

 * Durability: Guarde's only demonstrated ability is a resistance to injury akin to most monsters.
 * Fangs: Guarde used his fang to bite Evil Tiga, it is unknown if that actually hurt the mad Ultra, or if it was merely an annoyance.

Weakness
Due to Earth's atmosphere, Guarde can only be active for three minutes, as indicated by his Guarde Timer (ガーディータイマー Gādī Taimā). Once three minutes pass, Guarde will become weakened and vulnerable.
