Mons-Ahgar (モンスアーガー, Monsuaga) is a monster that first appeared in Ultraman Dyna.

History[]
Background[]
As hypothesized by Nakajima, Ryo, and Kariya, the Mons-Ahgar are a type of biological weapons created by a race of extinct aliens. Mons-Ahgars were kept in capsules on a large number of Meranie Comets, which were produced and sent out by said aliens. During a galactic civil war that was presumed to have occurred, the comets could create artificial atmospheres to resemble the particular combatant's home world. Mons-Ahgar would then be unleashed to destroy the spaceships on the comet, and kill the passengers. As the war ended, the creators of Mons-Ahgar went extinct for reasons unknown, and the variety of Mons-Ahgars were left unattended as their comets drifted through space.

Mons-Ahgar[]
One particular Meranie Comet drifted towards Neptune, and was caught by the radar of Super GUTS. Since the team and their science teams were unaware of the comet's capability of generating artificial atmospheres, SGUTS was sent to investigate the celestial body as a possible place for human colonization. Once there, SGUTS split into 3 teams, comprised of Kouda guarding the GUTS Eagle, and two exploration units of Asuka-Nakajima and Ryo-Kariya respectively. Traversing the landscape, Asuka was taken to a cave like area by a small alien creature, while Ryo and Kariya discovered the destroyed spaceships that were presumably left behind by the war.
Asuka and Nakajima were led a strange cavern, which contained a screen showing Mons-Ahgar in its capsule, and the strange alien creature revealed itself as Hanejiro. The duo was then contacted by Kouda to leave the planet as the cavern began to collapse. The virtual reality of the forest faded into jagged rock spires as Mons-Ahgar emerged, destroying the cavern and trapping Asuka within, and causing the hero to be separated from his transformation device: the Reflasher. However, Hanejiro was able to push the device towards Asuka, allowing him to transform into Ultraman Dyna.
Above ground, Kouda attempted to halt Mons-Ahgar's advance, but to no avail, since the heat beams simply bounced off of Mons-Ahgar's body. Ultraman Dyna appeared, but was also unable to damage the beast in the slightest, due to Mons-Ahgar's protective skin. However, Hanejiro was able to show Dyna through a hologram that the blue dome atop of Mons-Ahgar's head is the weakness. Learning so, Dyna quickly Type-Changed into Strong-Type, reflecting a Destructive Light Bomb from Mons-Ahgar before jumping into space, then crashing down upon Mons-Ahgar's head with the Strong Bomb drop kick attack. The attack shattered Mons-Ahgar's dome, causing the defeat of the weapon. The Meranie Comet vaporized along with Mons-Ahgar.[The Phantom Shooting Star]
Mons-Ahgar Ⅱ[]
Mons-Ahgar II (モンスアーガーII, Monsuāgā Tsu) is a monster captured by Gregorl-Man on the 4th Meranie Comet, and used to challenge Ultraman Dyna.
Mons-Ahgar II was summoned to Earth to rampage within the "professional wrestling ring" created by Gregorl-Man's swords. SGUTS was deployed immediately, though they could not do anything against Mons-Ahgar due to its extra covering over its blue dome. As Asuka was about to transform, another Dyna appeared and began to fight Mons-Ahgar II, keeping the monster at a disadvantage with ease. Finally, "Dyna" put Mons-Ahgar II's head in a choke hold, and broke its neck, causing its defeat. Mons-Ahgar II's defeat would have caused the vaporization of the 4th Meranie Comet as well.[Fight! Dyna vs. Dyna]

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Mons-Ahgar was portrayed by suit actor, Toshio Miyake (三宅 敏夫, Miyake Toshio), who played the majority of Ultraman monsters from Ultraman Tiga to Ultraman Gaia.
Notes[]
- Mons-Ahgar II's suit was modified from the original Mons-Ahgar suit.
- When Mons-Ahgar II appeared, Hanejiro called it "Ahgar" (アーガーĀgā) However, the remainder of SGUTS still calls it "Mons-Ahgar".
- Mons-Ahgar II's defeat could be a reference to Ultraman's defeat of Red King, as Imitation Ultraman Dyna snapped Mons-Ahgar II's neck in the same fashion as Ultraman to Red King. However, Imitation Dyna did so in a headlock, while Ultraman did so in a neck throw.
