History
Ultraman Dyna
Bazob is a monster from space that attacked the Super GUTS's Helios Solar Space Station, devouring it and flying towards Earth. As Super GUTS arrived, they encountered the electric field and was slapped aside by Bazob, who was hungry for electricity and decided to pay Earth a visit. After fleeing, Super GUTS discovered that Bazob has not yet digested the space station, but has actually held hostages: Super GUTS's own Captain Gousuke Hibiki, and a worker of the space station.
As Super GUTS tried to formulate a plan, Bazob attacked the Super GUTS base, as it contained the highest amount of electricity. Super GUTS then tried to attack, but their Tornado Thunder laser with easily deflected by Bazob's field. Bazob then began to quickly wade through the defensive lines, destroying machinery, until it finally met the third defense line, where Asuka transformed into Ultraman Dyna to fight the monster. The battle was even at first, but Dyna quickly realized that Bazob had hostages. Bazob then began to beat down the giant of light. As time was running out, Super GUTS prepared another strike with the Tornado Thunder, even though it will be futile.
Suddenly, Toshiyuki Kohda appeared in a motor plane and was then caught by Bazob. Kohda unleashed the XX Blaster on Bazob's horn and destroyed the electrical field and froze Bazob. Dyna then turned into Miracle Type and entered the guns of the GUTS Eagle, becoming a living bullet. As the Tornado Thunder is fired, Dyna flew threw Bazob, saving the humans, and Bazob exploded.
Later, Bazob appeared as a flashback in episode 51. Dyna easily obliterated the hologram with his Flash Cycler.

The Bazob toys
Bazob was released once as a figure in Bandai's Ultra Monster Series. The Bazob toy was the closed-mouth version with great detail paint job, with articulation in the head, arms, and tail. The size, however, was only 5 and 3/4 inches tall, therefore unable to scale with other figures. Bazob was numbered 119 in the series.
