History
Past
Long ago, before the creation of the universe itself, "Grimdo" existed as the form of primordial chaos gods, who were sealed away in the graveyard ruins of Planet Borges to maintain the balance of the universe, though ancient cosmic runes were left behind. There was similar ancient writing in a cave on Planet Tika-Du, where Ultraman Tregear and Ultraman Taro ventured to during their youth. After Tregear's fall to the darkness, he managed to decipher the ancient runes on Planet Borges and unsealed the ancient chaos gods, who were absorbed into his Color Timer, granting him great power. Tregear covered his Color Timer with strong restraints to prevent Grimdo from escaping. Ultraman Taiga Novel: Tregear's Story/Blue Shadow
In an alternate timeline created through Absolute Tartarus' manipulation of the timeline, Tregear was taken into Tartarus' ranks as a Parallel Isotope, preventing him from unsealing Grimdo and gaining the ancient god's power. The Divergence
Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax
A part of Grimdo was freed from Tregear's body when the seal was loosened after the battle between Tregear and Ultraman Taiga. The monster is sealed by the New Generation Heroes for a short time at the cost of their transformation abilities, and made its way to Earth. It escapes its seal and wreaks havoc on Earth, with Taiga, Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu unable to contend with it. As part of Tregear's plan, Taro showed up to help his son and used the Ultra Dynamite on Grimdo, though the monster possesses him in the process. Taro, under the influence of Grimdo, fought against Taiga and forced him and the brothers to retreat.
Grimdo leaves Taro after he is saved by Hiroyuki Kudo and the Tri-Squad, who clash into him using the Ultra Dynamite. Their combined power managed to drive out Grimdo from Taro's body and restore him to his usual self.[1][2] Having lost everything, Tregear decided to offer himself to Grimdo. His body broke down and was absorbed into the beast, restoring it to its full power. His consciousness was within the monster and controlled it, with a desire to destroy everything.
The Tregear-Grimdo fusion overwhelmed Taro and the New Generation Heroes, even in their strongest forms. Taro advised them to fuse via Taiga's Ultra Horns while he distracted Grimdo, allowing them to have the opportunity to fuse into Ultraman Reiga, who was strong enough to deflect all of Grimdo's attacks. At the climax of the battle, Reiga shot through Grimdo's central eye with the Reiga Ultimate Blaster. With a sorrowful voice, Tregear called out to Taro before he is destroyed along with Grimdo.
