History
Ultraman Dyna
Darambia
Darambia was created when the Spheres began to hail an assault on the TPC Mars Base. Darambia was their main power source and appeared to destroy many wear houses. Super GUTS came to the scene and opened fire on the abomination, but Darambia's barrier shielded all the attacks. Darambia then successfully downed the GUTS Eagle Alpha and stunned the co-pilot Toshiyuki Kohda into making him unconscious. Super GUTS' newbie Shin Asuka then fired upon Darambia's weakness: his underside. Darambia raged and shot an energy beam at Asuka, missing but flinging the him over a ridge. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared and blasted Darambia into pieces. But eventually, Darambia's pieces reconstituted into a more powerful figure: Neo Darambia . A New Light (Part 1)
Neo Darambia vs Ultraman Dyna
Quickly appearing after Ultraman Dyna killed Darambia, it and Dyna fought evenly until it caught Dyna with its arm and began to electrocute and attack him with his energy beam. However, Dyna quickly shook it off and attacked Neo Darambia with his Beam Slicer. But Neo Darambia's barrier quickly jammed the attack. Dyna then destroyed the barrier with his Flash Cycler and right before the barrier reappeared, Dyna unleashed his Solgent Beam and destroyed Neo Darambia easily. A New Light (Part 2)
Appearing quickly after Asuka shot down the Sphere that was chasing him, Neo Darambia II appeared and downed Asuka's GUTS Eagle Alpha-Superior. Ultraman Dyna then appeared and the two began to battle. Dyna put his Flash Cycler to play but was neglected by the beast. The beast then charged towards the giant and bulldozed him. Dyna got back up and completely destroyed the barrier with his Solgent Beam. After that, another Solgent Beam followed and destroyed Neo Darambia II. Final Chapter I: A New Shadow
Trivia
- The difference between the original and Neo Darambia II is that he is black, while the original one is light brown.
- An apparition of Neo Darambia was created by Gran-Sphere as part of the past enemies Dyna fought. All of them ultimately destroyed by Dyna's Flash Cycler.
- In Ultraman Zero & All Star Ultraman Transcendence!! Ultra League, Neo Darambia fought alongside Apatee, Kaiser Dobishi, Zeluganoid and King Goldras against Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna and Ultraman Gaia.
Ultraman Ginga
Thunder Darambia
Neo Darambia reappeared in Ultraman Ginga. This time, Neo Darambia appeared as Thunder Darambia .
Thunder Darambia is one of the Dark Spark War competitors where he fights along with other villains. However, during in the middle of the battle, Dark Lugiel, the mastermind itself turns all competitors into Spark Dolls as they fell into the Earth as meteorites and with Thunder Darambia becoming one of Dark Lugiel's collection.
A group of men who Hikaru and Misuzu found littering in a lake fought and soon left, they are then encountered by Alien Valky (in a comedic way as he dances to get there attention) and then takes control of them and gives them a Dark Dummy Spark and a Spark Doll. It soon encounters Black King (Hikaru Raido) and the two fight. Black King is soon swapped out and Ultraman Ginga takes battle and used Ginga Thunderbolt to take out Thunder Darambia and turn him into a Spark Doll and the men only being fried survived.
Thunder Darambia's rise
Later on during Kemur's attack, Hikaru uses Thunder Darambia to fight him. In a comedic fight Kemur farts in his face and shoves a tree in his mouth but trips him with one of the whips. Thunder Darambia is then sprayed with acidic goo and so Hikaru swapped to Ultraman Ginga.
Trivia
- Voice actor: Kenta Matsumoto
- The idea of Thunder Darambia was created when the producers went into the warehouse to find a monster suit. Surprisingly, an intact Neo Darambia II suit was accidentally discovered in a good condition and they modified it into Thunder Darambia. Designer Masayuki Gotoh describe this variation as a subtstation-carrying monster.
- The use of a tree in Thunder Darambia's fight with Kemur may be a reference to King Kong vs. Godzilla, as there is a scene in the film in which King Kong grabs a tree and shoves it down Godzilla's throat.
Ultraman X
Thunder Darambia appeared as a Cyber Card in the final episode of Ultraman X, after speaking out to Gomora and striking Greeza right in the center of his chest, Thunder Darambia, along with all of the other Cyber Cards, traveled to X and united with him. Cyber Thunder Darambia's power was used to help form the Hybrid Armor and power up the Ultimate Xanadium to defeat Greeza once and for all. Thunder Darambia, along with the numerous other Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls, then appeared and thanked Daichi as he thanked them. The Rainbow Land

His Spark doll was kept in Dark Lugiel's collection, and was given to Alien Valky to give to evil-hearted people, and was Darklived by two trash dumpers. He fought Black King, and won, but Black King was swapped out for Ultraman Ginga, who beat Thunder Darambia with Ginga Thunderbolt.
