History
Metamorga was a monkey who was mutated into a monster by the Evolu experiment of Ryosuke Sanada. After his master died at the hands of Ultraman Tiga, Metamorga hid in the sewers, feeding on electricity to stay alive. Once he was found by GUTS, Metamorga rampaged wildly, destroying a power plant both to consume its electricity and out of bitterness towards humanity to turning him into a monster. Shortly after GUTS fire a flamethrower at him, Metamorga retreated.
Metamorga vs. Ultraman Tiga
Metamorga later appeared at the site of his and Evolu's origin, The Stellar Development Center. There Metamorga began to consume the chemicals that the Center was producing. When GUTS arrived they tried to freeze Metamorga with Liquid Nitrogen, but Metamorga's Evlou cells allowed him to increase his temperature into quickly melting the ice that surrounded. Freed from the ice, Metamorga proceeded to attack the Center. Learning with Horri that friends of Horii were trapped inside the center, Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga and battled Metamorga himself. Metamorga's energy absorbtion abilities and wild inheretance was enough for the mutant monkey to overwhelm Tiga in battle and so overpowered Tiga. Suddenly, just as Metamorga was about to endanger Sanada, one of Horii's friends, a spirit-like entity of Evolu suddenly appeared and held Metamorga in place from harming Tiga or Sanada. With the opporitunity, Tiga transformed into Sky Type and froze Metamorga with his Tiga Freezer and carried the mutant into space, allowing Metamorga to explode safely without harming anyone.
