Tyrant

is a chimera-like Kaiju that debuted in Ultraman Taro, created from the spirits of the Ultra Brother's fallen foes. After fulfilling its vengeance on the previous Ultra Brothers, Tyrant arrived on Earth to fight Taro. Arguably the most popular chimeric monster in the Ultraman Series, numerous incarnations of Tyrant have appeared since the original's debut.

==History==
===Ultraman Taro===
Tyrant was created by the combined spirits of several Kaiju that were defeated in the past by the Ultra Brothers. After leaving Neptune and heading towards Earth, Zoffy was the first to attempt to stop Tyrant only to be easily defeated by the chimera Kaiju's combined strength. From then on, Tyrant would face off against the other Ultra Brothers on the other planets that were to come after Neptune - Ultraman on Uranus, Seven on Saturn, Jack on Jupiter, and Ace on Mars, and like Zoffy they were all met by Tyrant's superior strength and were beaten down with ease by the behemoth all while ZAT was tracking the Kaiju's movements from their base.
Fortunately, while Tyrant had erased each of the Ultra Brothers' Ultra Signs on the route to Mars to stop them from contacting Earth, he was unable to stop Ace from using his to warn ZAT and Taro of Tyrant's presence. Finally, Tyrant arrived in Japan and immediately began attacking, wreaking havoc across the city. ZAT was quick to attack but was not enough to match Tyrant's strength. Kotaro turned into Ultraman Taro shortly after and the two fought. Whether it was from exhaustion from fighting the other Brothers, or Taro's natural strength, Tyrant was of little match for the hero and was destroyed after his grappling hook was energized and thrown back at him. 
====Trivia====
*Seagorath, Baraba, and Bemstar were the only components of Tyrant to be mentioned during his debut appearance.
**A picture book states Tyrant's legs are from Red King II.
**An article written in a children’s magazine shows a picture of Astromons as one of Tyrant’s components.
**The episode's script called for Black King to be a component but this was cut. It is likely Tyrant's crest was designed as Black King's horn facing backwards.
*Tyrant is one of a few Kaiju who defeated more than one Ultra: five in total.
*Tyrant has a sadistic personality. When he fought the brothers he appears to "laugh" when the brothers are weakened by his strength. Also, before battling Ultraman, Tyrant shows boredom while waiting for the Ultra to arrive on Uranus.
*Tyrant uses the roars of Tagarl, Enmargo, Grost, and Guron.
*While Baraba's hook was on his left arm and the mace on the right, these weapons were swapped over in Tyrant's case.
*Interestingly, Tyrant died in a similar fashion to one of his components, Baraba, in that he met his end at the hands of his own weapons.
*Tyrant's suit appears in Ultraman Leo episode 9 as part of the Monster Corps Show.
*Tyrant was originally set to appear in the film Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers, along with Vakishim, Twin Tail, Astromons, Eleking and Gomora. They were replaced for unknown reasons.
*None of Tyrant's on-screen appearances explain his origin as a Kaiju created from deceased Kaiju.
*In Ultraman All-Star Chronicle, Tyrant possessed his EX Tyrant roars.
*Tyrant's components cover most of the preceding shows with the exception of Ultra Q.
*In Ultraman 80, Tyrant's soul was seen in the Monster Graveyard alongside Alien Icarus, indicating Tyrant has a different soul to his components.
===The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. The Monster Army===
Tyrant reappeared in the movie The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. The Monster Army.
Awoken by a mad scientist's experiments in Thailand, Tyrant (as well as the Kaiju: Astromons, Dorobon, and Dustpan) went on a rampage until they faced Hanuman. Hanuman, having been recently revived following the end of his previous life as a human thanks to the efforts of the Ultra Brothers, was able to hold off Tyrant and his allies until Super Gomora appeared and attacked him as well. Hanuman was overpowered by the five monsters and encased in a crystal sphere by Gomora until the Ultra Brothers arrived to even the odds. Unlike the other Kaiju whom were killed in battle, Tyrant was killed when the scientist's facilities blew up, catching the Kaiju on fire before exploding.
====Trivia====
*The Tyrant suit from Ultraman Taro was reused for its appearance in this film.
*In the Japanese version of the film, Tyrant's roar is reused from the Toho Kaiju, Ganimes. In the original Thai version, he possesses Takkong's roar.
===Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure NEO===
Prior to fighting Rei, Grande's Tyrant was summoned to challenge Ai Asama and Kanegon's Red King in a duel. When Red King used Earth Crusher to sink Tyrant into a crevice, the despot monster hooked to the skull monster as a form of taking down both of them, but their fight were interrupted by the arrival of Reionics Hunter. Tyrant escaped and became worried that Grande seemed to grow interest on Red King, despite the alien reassured the despot monster otherwise.
====Trivia====
*As a nod to how Red King also formed the despot monster, Grande sarcastically labeled Ai and Kanegon's Red King as "Tyrant's legs".
===Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey===
Tyrant reappears in episodes 6 and 7 of the series, Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey.
Tyrant was Grande's first Kaiju to appear in the show, and the first he used to challenge Rei. Initially, Gomora and Tyrant were evenly matched, but Tyrant eventually overpowered Gomora with his superior size and strength. Gomora used his Ultra Oscillation Wave against the chimera-like Kaiju, but it was absorbed into his chest mouth, leaving Tyrant unharmed. Rei recalled Gomora and summoned another of his Kaiju, Eleking. Even with the assistance of the ZAP SPACY, Eleking was no match for Tyrant. Tyrant eventually cut Eleking's throat with his axe hand, killing him and seriously wounding Rei in the process.
After Rei's recovery, and his Battlenizer had upgraded to the Neo Battlenizer (thanks to the assistance of his sister, Kate). Rei challenged Grande to a rematch with Gomora, and the duel was in Rei's favor. With the additional assistance from Litra slowing Tyrant down with its Fire Attack, Gomora defeated Tyrant by impaling him with his nasal horn and firing his Ultra Oscillation Wave into his gorge, killing Grande's Kaiju.
====Trivia====
*Tyrant's color scheme in this series is paler and grey rather than the vibrant colors in his original appearance.
*Tyrant's death in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle Neo was the same as Bemstar's death in the previous series; allowing him to absorb energy and use that moment to strike at his gorge.
===Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie===
Tyrant reappeared in the film Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie as one of Ultraman Belial's 100 Monster Army. He was first seen rising out of the ground along with Hoe, Banpira, Gudon, Eleking, King Guesra, and Red King. He was then seen teaming up with Hoe, Vakishim, Sadola, Alien Reflect, and Galberos to take down Litra. Tyrant was recalled back by Belial along with the surviving monster to watch Reionic Burst Gomora fight the Ultras and was sent back out to fight Ultraman Zero. He was the last monster killed by Zero's Zero Slugger Attack in the final battle behind Alien Valky, Fire Golza, Alien Guts, King Joe Black, and Zetton, as well as the last monster to die in Belial's 100 Monster Army.
====Trivia====
*The Tyrant suit from Ultra Galaxy NEO was reused for Tyrant's appearance in the series.
===Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure===
50 years after the destruction of Planet Hammer, EX Tyrant was created by the joint collaboration between Alien Nackle and Yapool in their effort to fight off the Alien Pedan army and killing Io Mikura. The group of Nackle send down EX Tyrant despite not having any real method of controlling it, even less so when the same device used to control Black Kings didn't work. Dorothy controlled the gestalt using her artificial Battlenizer, killing Nackle's forces but once the control wear off, EX Tyrant wipe out the King Joe army too, driving Planet Pedan to destruction. Io summoned Gomora, but realizes that fighting the monster is too much for the former to handle. Seeing EX Tyrant restraining Gomora mid-digging, Io instructed Gomora to use the Ultra Oscillation Wave and vibrate the ground beneath EX Tyrant. Sure enough, its own massive weight sent it plummeted to the lava.
However EX Tyrant emerged as EX Tyrant (Deathborn), hellbent on killing Io no matter what as it try to capture the King Joe Scarlet. An injured Dorothy took the full brunt of the attack and uses Sacarlet's Pedanium Lancer to stab the cranial skull, permanently killing the monster for good. Despite its death, EX Tyrant's role in the destruction of Planet Pedan convinced its population to blame the Reionics for their loss, setting forth the foundation of Reionics Hunter.
EX Tyrant's role is more or less the same in Mega Monster Battle: ULTRA MONSTERS, despite the lack of Dorothy and King Joe Scarlet. In addition, Yapool also sent Ace Killer and a normal Tyrant instead of an army of Terrible Monsters.
====Trivia====
*As revealed on the picture, EX Tyrant is portrayed bigger than the Ultraman Fighting Evolution Rebirth, its foot is enough to trample a King Joe Black.
*When EX Tyrant (Deathborn) appeared, the nasal horn from Seagorath was snapped in half, as a result of the previous EX Tyrant having injured from King Joe Scarlet's attack.
===Ultraman Saga===
In Ultraman Saga, Tyrant is seen as one of the many Kaiju revived by Alien Bat via Hyper Zetton to battle against the Ultra Brothers, with Tyrant battling with Ultraman Leo. Tyrant fought with Leo for a short period of time, but was eventually killed by Leo's Leo Kick, blowing Tyrant to pieces.
====Trivia====
*The Tyrant suit from Ultra Galaxy NEO was reused and modified for Tyrant's appearance in the film.
*The pre-battle part of the episode described Ultraman Taro fighting Tyrant, but instead Ultraman Leo fought Tyrant. This was done for creative purposes to give Leo more importance as he was the mentor of Ultraman Zero.
===Ultra Zero Fight===
Tyrant reappeared in season 2 of Ultra Zero Fight. Tyrant teams up with Villainous as the Fiendish Tag Team to fight Ultraman Zero. After all of the Ultimate Force Zero's members are killed, Zero Darkness (Ultraman Belial) invites Tyrant and the rest of the Darkness Five to conquer the universe. After Zero used his new Shining form to defeat Belial, Zero used the Shining Star Drive to emit a light too bright for the Darkness Five to handle forcing them all to retreat.
====Trivia====
*The Tyrant suit from Ultra Galaxy NEO was reused for Ultra Zero Fight.
*After Jatar died, Tyrant took his place in the Darkness Five.
*Tyrant also makes an appearance in the Darkness Five biography special.
===Ultraman Ginga Theater Special===
Tyrant was Darklived by Alien Icarus on himself and the other Spark Dolls of the monsters that make up him. Tyrant then fought Ultraman Tiga and eventually Jean-Nine. He ended up in defeat by Ultraman Tiga kicking Tyrant's energized Baraba Whip right at him and Jean-Nine using Jean Stardust on him, blowing him up. All of the Spark Dolls ended up being turned back to their form of state and being recovered by Hikaru Raido. 
====Trivia====
*Unlike most of the Darklived monsters, Tyrant has a special designation, given as (SDU), standing for Spark Dolls United.
*Tyrant was defeated by Ultraman Tiga (aside from Jean-Nine) in a similar way to its first incarnation.
===New Ultraman Retsuden===
In New Ultraman Retsuden episode 9, his battle against Jean-Bot and Jean-Nine alongside his master Villainous was referenced by Ultraman Zero and Glenfire to demonstrate the Jean Brothers' teamwork. He was also the subject of topic for episodes 12-13 as well as the monsters that make up him. In episode 13, his battle against Ultraman Zero along with Alien Temperor and his battle against the Ultra Brothers including Ultraman Taro was referenced by the same Ultraman that defeated him.
Tyrant was referenced by Exceller to Vorst as the inspiration for Five King after watching Alien Icarus did so to himself.
===Ultraman X===
A Cyber Card of Tyrant was created by Xio, after his Spark Doll was salvaged by the team.
===Ultra Fight Orb===
Tyrant reappeared in this miniseries where he was revived by Reibatos via combining seven monster souls from the Giga Battlenizer to deal with Ultraman Jack and Zoffy, who planned on stopping the chimera monster's new master at the Monster Graveyard. Zoffy and Jack fought against the beast as Reibatos left for a quieter location to revive his monsters.
Jack and Zoffy fought valiantly against Tyrant, but the injuries they had sustained in the fight were starting to bring them down. Ultraseven, Ultraman Zero, and Ultraman Orb, with his newly acquired Emerium Slugger form, arrived to aid their fellow Ultras in the battle, successfully regaining the upper hand. Due to their years of experience and know-how in combat, it didn't take long for Tyrant to be overpowered by the Ultras. After being weakened by Orb's Orb Kick and Zero's Ultra Zero Kick, Tyrant got destroyed once again by a combination of Ultraseven's Wide Shot, Zero's Wide Zero Shot, and Orb's Wide Slugger Shot.
===Ultraman Geed===
Tyrant reappeared in episode 9 of the series where he attacked the underground base from above ground in search of Mayu's Little Star. He was then met with opposition by Riku Asakura, who transformed into Ultraman Geed to stop him. While Tyrant proved to be a tough opponent, Geed managed to hold his own against him by blocking his attacks, fighting back with own, and deflecting his Energy Ear Needle Darts.
Tyrant then breathed fire at Geed until Ultraman Zero appeared and dispelled the flames. The two Ultras then double-teamed the chimera Kaiju by kicking him simultaneously, dodging his ax swing, then grabbed him and threw him down. Tyrant then took on Zero alone as Geed went to take on Skull Gomora. Zero later transformed into his Beyond form and kicked away the Kaiju's grappling hook with his feet in midair. After dodging and blocking his flames, Zero merged the Quattro Sluggers into his Beyond Twin Edge and used them to slash at Tyrant multiple times and finally finished him off with his Wide Beyond Shot, destroying him as a result.
====Trivia====
*Suit actor: Yoshiki Kuwabara
**The Tyrant suit from Ultra Galaxy NEO was reused for his said appearance.
