## Biography

### The Mysterious, Beautiful Runaway

When an underground organization, called Underground Empire Tube, begin their plans to conquer the surface world, one of the members, Anagmas, finds out that one of the spies on the surface, Princess Ial, has betrayed them after she fell in love with a man named Takeru. Upon hearing the news, the leader of the empire, Emperor Zeba, decides to start an all-out attack. So he summons two frozen figures from a room filled with frozen beasts and has them thawed out, reawakening the Chitei Doggler and the Parasite Beast Igua.

As all of Tube’s forces head out, Chitei Doggler and Igua head out on the Ground Imperial Wagon along with Commander Baraba, Ninja Oyobu, Ninja Fumin, and the Ungler Soldiers. During their invasion on the city, a group of Unglermon Fighters chase after Takeru and Princess Ial where a fissure appears before them and the two fall in. Once in the fissure, Igua appears from the ground and grabs Princess Ial with its Long Tongue. Despite Takeru’s attempt to save her, Igua drags her into the ground to bring her back to Tube, but not before she gives Takeru her necklace.

Meanwhile, Tube’s invading forces start attacking the city where Chitei Doggler invaded the subways along with the Ungler Soldiers and Igua arrives as well. Fortunately, four vehicles appear and start fighting back against the invading forces. Commander Baraba and the rest of the Tube members are confronted by the four pilots of the vehicles, revealing themselves to be the Maskmen. Commander Baraba then gets Chitei Doggler and Igua to fight against them where the two beasts merge together with Igua draped over Chitei Doggler, forming into Igua Doggler.

Igua Doggler and the Unglermon Fighters shoot at the four Maskmen, knocking them down, until suddenly they’re ambushed by a red jet shooting at them. The pilot reveals himself to be Takeru as Red Mask and joins with his friends to fight off the Ungler Soldiers. The Tube members attack them with Igua Doggler binding Red Mask with its tongue and shocking him with bolts from Igua’s fingers. The two beasts then separate from each other where Chitei Doggler shocks the rest of the Maskman with its Eye Bolts. As Igua pulls Red Mask in with its tongue, Takeru remembers about how Princess Ial was kidnapped and manages to use his Masky Blade to slice Igua’s tongue, freeing himself. Igua combined back with Chitei Doggler into Igua Doggler and the two-in-one Chitei Beast shoots Fireballs at the Maskman, especially at Red Mask. Red Mask manages to run through the explosions from Igua Doggler’s Fireballs and jumps at the Chitei Beast and impales it with his Masky Blade. With Igua Doggler wounded, the Maskmen use their Laser Magnums to shoot it down and then Red Mask summons the Shot Bomber. Once Igua Doggler is targeted, the Maskman fire the Shot Bomber and blow up Igua Doggler, leaving behind Igua’s arm sticking out of the ground.

### Strange! The Dark Underground Castle

After Emperor Zeba punishes Princess Ial by sending her into an eternal sleep, he plans to turn the surface world into a world of darkness after they defeat the Maskman. Commander Baraba sends out the Unglermon Fighters to get the Maskman’s attention and meets them at the same rock quarry from before, though Red Mask isn’t with them. Once Tube spots Igua Doggler’s arm sticking out of the ground, Emperor Zeba sends out Energy Beast Okelampa. As Okelampa makes it to the surface, he shoots energy from out of its body and showers the dead Igua Doggler with it, reviving the two-in-one Chitei Beast and enlarging it into a giant.

Now as a giant, Igua Doggler chases after and attacks the four Maskmen where it separates into Chitei Doggler and Parasite Beast Igua. Fortunately, Red Mask arrives in the Turbo Ranger and shoots at the two beasts. The two beasts merge back into Igua Doggler as the rest of the Maskman board inside the Turbo Ranger and launch out into their five vehicles, where they then combine them into Great Five.

Igua Doggler and Great Five face off each other where the Chitei Beast separates back into Chitei Doggler and Igua and the two shock Great Five with their Eye Bolts. The two beasts fight Great Five until Red Mask uses Great Gun to shoot at them. After merging back into Igua Doggler, the Chitei Beast shoots Fireballs at Great Five. Great Five shields itself with the Five Shield and pulls out the Photo Electron Riser. Igua Doggler rushes at Great Five but Red Mask uses Photon Cut to have Great Five slice the Chitei Beast two times, causing it to bleed out red energy and making it fall to ground where it blows up.

## Trivia

* Parasite Beast Igua was designed by **Naoki Ogiwara** while Chitei Doggler was designed by **Ichigo House**.
	+ Naoki Ogiwara thought Ichiho House’s design on the Chitei Doggler was amazing, so he desperately drew Parasite Beast Igua’s design in a way that it wouldn’t look inferior when the two are next to each other. Because of this, a motif didn’t come across his mind.
* Naoki heard that Parasite Beast Igua would move around during filming with a dolly underneath its belly, so he tried to design it with no legs and gave it long hair to hide the dolly underneath.
	+ However, the design ended up becoming a humanoid afterwards.
