Subtitle: King Demon Beast of Wind (風ノ魔王獣)

Ultraman Orb
One peaceful day in Kitchitachi, Tokyo, an ancient bird-like monster who slept in the ionosphere suddenly woke up and wreaked havoc on the city with its powers of aerokinesis to create a Maga-Storm. According to the SSP, it occurred every few days and vanished just as suddenly. The team went into the open to investigate the strange phenomenon when suddenly, the monster got riled up and created the storm again. They decided to go inside the storm to get some answers and, when they were lifted by one of the tornados, what they found was the "King Demon Beast of Wind", Maga-Basser and a giant of light who quickly dispatched the monster for the moment.

Not only did the monster cause a lot of trouble in all of Tokyo with its storms, but, in accordance to the butterfly effect, it also created seven typhoons that popped up all over the Pacific. Maga-Basser eventually created his storm again and, when the storm cleared, he decided to reveal himself to all of Tokyo. The giant of light, who introduced himself as Ultraman Orb, also revealed himself in his Spacium Zeperion form and the two giants fought each other again.

They kept their fight evenly matched with their combat prowess and aerial advantages respectively. After Maga-Basser unleashed his Maga-Shockwave at him, Orb summoned his Sparion Slash at him and tried to redirect it when the monster flew away, but the attack only managed to get rid of several feathers. After brawling it out in the sky, Orb's color timer began to blink and seeing that his Fusion Up was starting to break up, Orb knew he had to wrap it up fast, so he unleashed his Sparion Ray at Maga-Basser and the monster exploded soon afterwards, ending his threat on Earth.

Afterwards, Orb's human form, Gai Kurenai, discovered the beast's Maga Crystal and thanks to his Orb Ring, turned it into the Ultraman Mebius's Fusion Card, the Ultra who sealed away the monster in the first place. Meanwhile, the rest of the monster turned into a Kaiju Card recovered by the true perpetrator, Jugglus Juggler.

Trivia

 * Maga-Basser's first design, is to have his entire fur all dark green, while having a long tail and a different design of his wings.
 * Although it seemed that Maga-Basser had no relation to Ultraman Mebius and neither his titular series, its closest equivalent may be Arigera.
 * Two Maga-Basser suits were created: the first one is the series version and the second suit is a cheaper version with smaller wings used for stage show. In both suits, the suit actor places their arms on their wings while Maga-Basser's smaller arms moved in conjunction with said wings' movements.
 * Maga-Basser slightly resembles Dexador from Ultraman Dyna.
 * Maga-Basser was originally designed to more closely resemble various birds of prey. Ultimately, his design was finalized being a combination of a dragon and the Fenghuang of Eastern Asian mythology.
 * His design was also meant to resemble that of Bemstar's silhouette in the opening credits of Ultraman Ace.
 * In early production, Maga-Basser was going to be called King Basser (キングバッサー). However, due to Grand King already approved for use in the series, associate producer Okamoto Yuzo proposed the use of the phrase Maga as a common term across all kaiju that would be used as King Demon Beasts.

Powers and Weapons

 * Flight : Being a bird-like monster, Maga-Basser can fly at an incredible speed.
 * Sharp Beak : Maga-Basser's beak has a sharp tip that can used for combat.
 * Sharp Talons : Also, Maga-Basser's toes have sharp talons protruding from them, also for combat use.
 * Aerokinesis : True to its title, Maga-Basser can manipulate wind to its liking, creating vortex and miniature cyclones.
 * Maga-Storm (マガ嵐): Referred to by Gai as "The Devil's Wind", by flying in a circle, Maga-Basser can create an enormous black cloud that releases several tornadoes with enough magnitude to rip off and pull up parts of buildings. One of these tornadoes is big enough for Maga-Basser himself to fit into. The use of this storm has a domino effect to weather patterns around the globe, causing world wide storms and erratic weather patterns such as snowstorms in Egypt.
 * Maga-Shockwave (マガ衝撃波): by flapping its wings, Maga-Basser can build up air pressure to release a large shockwave.
