History
Shiela was an average cockatiel in the possession of a young girl named "Asami." However once the highly dangerous and powerful Zelda Gas was accidentally knocked over, Asami freed Shiela before she was tragically killed in a massive explosion, which also mutated Shiela into a giant monster. Taking residence inside of the Asama Mountains, Shiela grieved constantly over the death of her young owner and so sought out to avenage her death by destroying the Zelda Gas once and for all, which was located inside of a research facility known as "Zelda Point." Shiela's first attempt however was thwarted by GUTS's arrival and assult and so was forced to retreat.

Continuously haunted by Asami's death, Shiela emerged from the volcano again to try and reach Zelda Point. However, she was once again opposed by GUTS, who refused to let the mutant go through with her plan. Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga in order to help GUTS in holding off Shiela, however the mass quantities of Zelda Gas in the air caused the ultra to choke. Shiela too felt the effects of the Zelda Gas choking her, but she wouldn't give up on destroying it, even while bleeding internally from the gas's effect. With the help of the dying Dr. Nezu (the father of Asami,) Shiela absorbed the last bit of Zelda Gas. With Shiela's deed done, Tiga and GUTS carried her dying body into space where she and Dr. Nezu took the form of light, purifyed from the horrible fate they carried. Thus Shiela shift into a phoenix-like bird with GUTS saw in amazement. Tiga then releases a trail of light for the newly formed Shiela to follow, along with the spirit of Asami happily riding on Shiela's back.
