Golza

Golza is a kaiju that first appeared in Ultraman Tiga. He first appeared in Episode 1.

Ultraman Tiga
Golza was an ancient monster from Earth's past than had awoken along with the sky-rending monster, Melba. Appearing first in Mongolia, Golza tunnelled back underground before GUTS could react. He later appeared in Japan and causes destruction until he found the Tiga Pyramid of Light.

Just as Melba arrives, both monsters manage to destroy two of the statues inside the Pyramid. Daigo tries attacking them, but to avail and is shot down. At the last minute, Daigo is transferred into the remaining statue. Fused with the statue, Ultraman Tiga is born and fights both Golza and Melba with little effort. After transforming into Power Mode, Tiga breaks Golza's ankle, forcing the monster to flees into the Earth, while Tiga finishes off Melba.

Fire Golza
Sometime later, Golza was discovered hiding underground beside a volcano which was threatening to erupt. After absorbing so much heat from the lava, He had developed new powers and strength, as well as red markings that covered its body, thus gaining the alias: Fire Golza (ファイヤーゴルザ).

As GUTS went into the volcano to investigate (with the Self Defense Force outside waiting in case a monster was attacking,) Fire Golza was awoken and made his way to the surface rampaging once again, without nothing that the SDF or GUTS could do to stop it. Daigo quickly turned into Ultraman Tiga, however Fire Golza's improved strength and absorption abilities proved to be too much for Tiga to handle. Even in Power Mode was there strength matched, but Fire Golza's absorption abilities were still a problem.

As a result, Tiga then combined his physical attacks with his energy attacks to finally get an advantage over the monster, which worked and allowed Tiga to use the Zepellion Beam and weaken Fire Golza. Realizing that the volcano was about to erupt again, Tiga carried Fire Golza into the air and hurled him into the volcano, preventing the eruption and Fire Golza from returning again for the rest of the series.

Ultraman Dyna
Golza reappears in this series as Hyper Golza

Nine years after Fire Golza's rampage, The volcano he was trapped in erupted without warning. Once Super GUTS arrived, they quickly became preoccupied with the destruction brought about by the eruption. After launching a special laser drill underground that was made to neutralize the epicenter, it was soon revealed that the eruption was caused by Hyper Golza.

Hyper Golza emerged and was again met by the weapons of the SDF and Super GUTS with nothing they could do except annoy Hyper Golza. Shin turned into Ultraman Dyna, but was barely able to hurt of phase Hyper Golza's body, even with the Solgent Beam, leaving Hyper Golza to man-handle the ultra with little effort. However, Dyna refused to give up as he executed a powerful chop that cut open Hyper Golza's skin. Dyna then fired another Solgent Beam directly into the wound, finally ending Golza's life and reign of terror.

Ultra Galaxy Daikaiju Battle
This Monster reappeared in the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle as both Golza and Fire Golza.

In his first appearance, Golza was an ordinary monster that lived on Planet Boris. After the ZAP SPACY members fired at Golza, the provoked monster proceeded to attack them. The situation worsened when the commotion attracted the returning monster Telesdon, whom had managed to escape Red King's assult. As the monsters closed in on the crew, Rei returned to aid ZAP SPACY, releasing Gomora and Litra to battle the monsters, fortunately Gomora manages to destroy them both with his Oscillatory Wave.

In his second appearance, Fire Golza was the first monster that belonged to the series villain, Kate. He was first unleashed one night upon a group of eight Sadora, killing them all with ease. Once Kate had assumed the identity of a lost scientist, Fire Golza was released once again, this time to destroy ZAP SPACY. Rei summoned Gomora, but Fire Golza proved to be superior in strength and dominated Gomora for the majority of the fight. With the assistance of ZAP SPACY, Gomora managed to ambush Fire Golza, turning the battle to his favor and mortally wounding Fire Golza. Kate then confronted Rei, revealing her identity and her second monster; Gan-Q to finish the match. Luckily, Fire Golza takes Gan-Q's attack by surprise and is quickly destroyed.
