==History==
===Ultraman Arc===
An alien lifeform that parasitizes space Kaiju and ingests calcium carbonate as a source of nutrition, Oo-ze latched onto Monogelos and made its way to Earth. It is unknown how events transpired, but the Oo-ze presumably multiplied in numbers across the globe and fell into inactivity after the events of K-Day. One such Oo-ze remained in suspended animation in the Monohorn with small, sporadic signs of biological activity. 
In the present day, the SKIP's Hoshimoto City branch responded to alerts of biological activity in the Monohorn, which awakened and revealed itself to be a . With Yuma Hize in pursuit, it dug underground and took control of a Shagong, leading the Kaiju to feed on cavern limestones and grow rapidly in size due to the mother Oo-ze's hormone secretions. Craving for sustenance, it led Shagong to a chemical plant and began multiplying into smaller Oo-ze that threatened nearby workers.
With the situation getting out of hand, Yuma transformed into Ultraman Arc and dealt with Shagong. After the Kaiju was taken down by Arc's Arc Finalize, the Mother Oo-ze attempted to flee but was ultimately stopped short with one swing of the Arc Eye Sword. With the mother dead, its spawn ceased all activity.
