Gazort

Gazort's History

Gazort is a Kaiju that appeared in Ultraman Tiga. Originally tadpole-like harmless creatures, however, due to exposure of overdose radio waves, they cannibalized each other and took on the said monstrous form to attack the outside world for more food.

Gazort was originally life forms that lived and drifted in Earth's Ionosphere. They were peaceful in nature, but when mankind created unnatural electromagnetic waves, the Clitters mutated into strange animals, allowing them to combine into Gazorts and cannibalized hundreds of them. Gazort proceeded to pilot the nest (in the form of a giant storm cloud) towards Tokyo, transforming the storm into a more solid form that resembled a cocoon. As GUTS was in pursuit of the cocoon, it crashed outside of a city and thus released Gazort. GUTS was quick to retaliate by firing on Gazort with their weapons, but Gazort fought back by attack the nearby city it was heading towards.

Horii of GUTS soon learned that Gazort and the life forms were originally born on Earth due to Electromagnetic Waves mutating them, and so tried to communicate directly through the Gazort to try and reason with the alien, stating that they (humans) are their friends. Gazort however, being a wild creature, interpreted this statement as the name of their food source and attempted try and eat Horii, leading GUTS to the fact that Gazort ate all the nest and now craves fresh meat. Luckily, Daigo had transformed into Ultraman Tiga and took the threat under his wing. Gazort was able to stand its ground with the Ultra by using some sneaky tactics, as well as using his sharp teeth to pierce Tiga's skin, causing him to bleed light, but Tiga took the battle into the sky by transforming into his Sky Type to distract Gazort. Once Gazort left in opening in its attack, Tiga threw it to the ground and finished it off with the Runboldt Beam Shell. Even though Gazort was destroyed, the life forms lived on and returned back into the Earth's atmosphere.

Sometime later, a satellite was created to draw electricity from sunlight to power Earth was launched into the atmosphere. When it was, it brought forth another swarm and a more powerful Gazort was created. Once Gazort II appeared nearby land, GUTS arrived to attack the alien with a microwave-based gun. While the plan was working at first, a scuffle involving Shinjoh's sister and her boyfriend caused the plan to become temporarily disorganized. After the intervention was resolved, Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga yet again and battled with Gazort II. Despite Gazort II's enhanced abilities Tiga was able to power through, and after transforming into his Power Type, Tiga caught one of Gazort II's plasma bomb and hurled it back at the alien, destroying it in a massive explosion.

Gazort was summoned by Hudram, as part of a plan to further awaken Yuzare from Yuna Shizuma's body. The GUTS Falcon was sent to counter attack the beast, and would soon to be joined by Ultraman Trigger who displayed his Sky Type. Trigger was able to defeat the Gazort using his Circle Arms after a battle in the skies, and destroyed it with the Runboldt Arrow Strike.

A Gazort suddenly appeared when GUTS-Select and Haruki Natsukawa went to track down the GUTS Hyper Keys that Kengo Manaka lost when he was displaced from the Eternity Core. Kengo transformed into Ultraman Trigger after Haruki passed his Multi Type Key back to him, obtaining it from a Leyrah cultist. GUTS-Select's analysis found the Sky Type Key inside Gazort, and the monster was forced by Trigger to cough it out with the GUTS Falcon's help. Trigger then changed into Sky Type and destroyed Gazort using the Sky Arrow.

As GUTS-Select transported Terraphaser to a testing site, a Gazort attacked it mid-transport. After being grabbed by the robot and slammed into the ground, the Gazort flew away, letting the Raibasser and Hinabasser attempt to stop the robot from activating. Taiji Murahoshi speculated that Gazort's attempt at attacking Terraphaser is due to the monster sensing the robot as a threat to Earth itself.
