History
Garula was an ancient monster of the same class as Golza and Melba. He first appeared in the middle of a city in Sector D and proceeded to rampage. GUTS was quickly on the scene to counterattack, but Garula's super dense skin was more than enough to protect him from their assults. Once Garula noticed Daigo trying to save a woman who was trapped. Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga to stop the monster himself. Again, Garula's skin protected him from Tiga's attacks, but not from Tiga throwing him around. With GUTS still firing on him, Garula quickly escaped underground, barely missing Tiga's Zepellion Ray.

Later, Garula resurfaced in the K-3 District to resume his rampage. Thanks to the advice of a psychic man whom was playing mind games with Daigo on his identity as Tiga, Daigo (and GUTS) was forced to fight the monster with their weapons, which still did not faze the monster's assults. With no other option and with Rena of GUTS in danger by one of Garula's blasts, Daigo had no choice but to transform into Ultraman Tiga yet again to save Rena. The battle was at a standstill between Tiga and Garula until Tiga's color timer began blinking. Touched by Tiga's heroic actions for saving Rena, the psychic man exploited Garula's weakness in his neck. With the monster's weakness exposed, Tiga fired his Zepellion Ray through Garula's throat, instantly killing the monster.
