History

Ancient Times

30 million years ago, Hudra existed as one of the Ultra-Ancient Giants of Light that existed during the time of the Ultra-Ancient Civilization at R'lyeh. However, he, Camearra, Darramb and Tiga found a great power of "darkness" within their hearts and became Giants of Darkness, who used their powers for evil and began to destroy the world amidst a civil war between the Ultra-Ancient Giants. Eventually, Yuzare somehow convinced Tiga to follow the path of light again, betraying his former comrades. Tiga defeated the three Giants of Darkness and took their powers, gaining his Type Changes, and sealed them as stone statues in the R'lyeh ruins. From Hudra's dark energy converted to light, Tiga gained his Sky Type.

Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey

"I must hurry and fill my body with the terrified screams of humans!"

―Hudra

But fate would deal a cruel hand as the final showdown with the sinister Gatanothor 30 million years later would reveal the ancient tomb to mankind's attention. Soon, Hudra and his allies awakened from their ancient slumber and began terrorizing the excavation site, Hudra taking great pleasure in the chaos and death he brought. Afterwards, Hudra and Darramb plunged their fists into the walls of the cave, releasing a horde of Shibito-Zoiger on the humans. However, Hudra's psychotic passion for destruction would have to wait, as a spirit from the ancient civilization, Yuzare, sealed the island under a field of light, stopping the evil forces within from escaping. Afterwards, the two males would continue to accompany their leader as she went about her evil work, both in human and Ultra form. Hudra and Darramb couldn't handle their confinement much longer and tried to break free, only to be sent crashing to the ground. The duo accompanied their leader, Camearra, into Daigo's dreams, allowing them to pummel the hero shortly before she gave him the Black Sparklence and the trio took their leave to wait for Daigo on R'lyeh. They didn't wait long, and soon Daigo arrived, using the Black Sparklence and becoming Tiga Dark, breaking the barrier as Hudra and Darramb transformed to confront him. He refused to join them and Hudra rushed to fight him, only to be cut off by Darramb, who wanted first go at the hero. However, Darramb underestimated the hero and was soon killed by Tiga's Deracium Beam Torrent.

After the hero escaped the Dark Water, Hudra quickly flew in and grabbed him, squeezing his scissor blade around his neck and dragging him into Lumagion, a dimension full of floating rocks. The two began to fight amongst meteors, Hudra calling Tiga a traitor before unleashing his Hugust, Tiga barely escaping before the asteroid he was standing on exploded. As the two kept up their battle, Hudra sent Tiga plummeting to a meteor below and kept up his assault, Tiga having a hard time keeping up with Hudra's speed. However, Megumi Iruma managed to detonate a cache of explosions in the cave as Hudra charged his Hugust, blasting Tiga and Hudra out of Lumagion. Furious, Hudra fired his Hugust once again, scoring a direct hit. But as with Darramb, this would be his undoing, as Tiga began absorbing the attack and turned into Tiga Blast. Before Hudra could react, Tiga charged and fired the Runboldt Beam Shell, striking Hudra in the chest and completely obliterating him. Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey
