Night Fang

Night Fang is a kaiju in the fictional universe of the Ultraman Taiga television series by Tsuburaya Productions. The character appears to be at least partially inspired by Cyäegha.
==Background==
Long ago, on a day with a total solar eclipse, Night Fang descended from outer space and arrived at Kuzuryu Village, causing all sorts of natural disasters. Despite this, the locals were able to protect themselves by offering visitors as human sacrifices. However, other travelers began to hear about this, causing no one to ever visit the village again. The locals had to resort to using themselves as human sacrifices, until the village became empty and off the grid. Night Fang was sealed away in a mountain by a shrine maiden, who wielded a shining sword with the power of Earth. The evil spirits of the locals remained in the village, hoping to free Night Fang from its prison so that they can finally be at peace.
In the present day, the evil spirits eventually succeeded with that goal during another solar eclipse. With the help of Alien Babarue, Night Fang was freed using the psychic powers of the net idol Ai Tennoji, who is the reincarnation of the shrine maiden that originally sealed it away. (: "To the Demon's Mountain!!")
Night Fang headed towards a populated city in order to unleash nightmare-inducing sound waves, feeding off the suffering of the people. Fortunately, the effects were negated by some noise-cancelling waves, freeing all of the victims including Hiroyuki Kudo, who transformed into Ultraman Taiga to fight off Night Fang. Taiga was unable to defeat Night Fang, until Ai Tennoji summoned the shining sword again and transfered Earth's power to him. Gaining a new form called "Photon-Earth", Taiga destroyed Night Fang with the Aurum Strium beam, reducing the evil kaiju's remains to a small ring that contained its power. (: "Defeat the Demon!")
==Mythos Connections==
In an interview with director Makoto Kamiya, it was stated that Night Fang is a homage to the Cthulhu Mythos."Ultraman TAIGA" episode 7 To the Demon’s Mountain!!
