Tigris

Tigris appeared in 1999 TV series called Ultraman Gaia. Tigris (ティグリス Tigurisu), or fully known as Alboom Tigris (アルブームティグリス Arubumu Tigurisu), was a kaiju that appeared in Ultraman Gaia. Tigris is one of the kaiju that fought Zogu.

Long ago two monsters, Tigris and Mizunoeno Dragon ruled the earth the dragon took the water and the monster took the land and slumbered underground. Many years later a member of GUARD launched a nuclear bomb underground but, it hit something. Shortly after rose the monster Tigris! Though it was soon clear the horned beast was badly damaged and spewing stomach fluids. Still a threat Gamu transformed into Ultraman Gaia, he tried to fight but, couldn't bring himself to fight the dying monster and went to go destroy the base. The GUARD, however, kept launching missiles on Tigris. Everyone who watched, screamed and pleaded them to stop firing, however, ignoring them, they eventually kill the monster. Hiroya tells Gaia to take Tigris into space so that he may rest in peace. Though it was not the end of him.

Months later, the monster Blitz Blots attacked the earth and out of the ground came a second Tigris, reborn from the first and he took on the monster and with the help of XIG fighters, but he was to much for him and soon Ultraman Gaia came to fight Blitz Blots. After he was defeated, Tigris, who was also injured in fighting, died. His death was honored by XIG members later on.

Later on, the Dobishi assaulted earth and a third Tigris rose again, reborn and ready to fight the alien insects along with other monsters. But with the attacks a Kaiser Dobishi came down to fight Tigris. Sadly like the many Tigris before him, the insect unleashed thousands of Sobishi's on him. In agony, he falls over the side dead, like Geel III.
