History[]
Ultraman Taro[]
Tyrant was born from the grudges of the collective souls of monsters who were defeated by the Ultra Brothers in the past, having culminated and combined to create a new form. Born on Neptune. Tyrant immediately prepared to head for Earth to exact its revenge, only to be stopped by every ultra his past selves had face, one-by-one:
- Zoffy on Neptune.
- Ultraman on Uranus.
- Ultraseven on Saturn.
- Ultraman Jack on Jupiter.
- Ultraman Ace on Mars.
However, none of the ultras that faced Tyrant stood a chance against the chimera monster, and they were blasted and beaten into submission before they could send out a distress signal to one another.
Sure enough, Tyrant made its way to Earth, and upon arriving, the chimera monster immediately carried out its vengeance by destroying everything it could. ZAT was deployed to deal with the abomination (after learning of its presence during its battle on Jupiter), but the team was kept at bay by the monster fending them off with its flames. Luckily, Kotaro was on the scene (spending most of the day teaching Takeshi how to ride a bike), and he transformed into Ultraman Taro to face Tyrant instead. Unlike the Ultra Brothers from earlier, Taro was an ultra that none of Tyrant's pieces had faced before, and the new ultra easily stood up to the chimera monster with little effort. Finally after severing the monster's hooked whip, Taro energized the monster's weapon with the King Bracelet, turning it into his Taro Lance attack, and hurled it at Tyrant, obliterating the chimera monster.[1][Surpass the Ultra Brothers!]
Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey[]
Tyrant was the first monster that belonged to a Reionic Alien Keel named "Grande," who was on Planet Hammer.[2] Tyrant was first used against Rei when Grande first encountered him, initially believing he would be fun to fight against. Rei summoned his Gomora and the two monsters did battle. Gomora tried his best, but Grande, having already had his Battle Nizer upgraded into a Neo Battle Nizer, proved his superiority over Rei and Gomora as Tyrant easily pummeled Gomora without showing any signs of difficulty. Realizing that Gomora was losing badly, Rei was forced to call him back and summoned Eleking to fight instead. Like Gomora though, nothing Eleking did could harm Tyrant due to the Chimera Monster's superior strength and after Grande decided it would be more fun to fight to the death, he ordered Tyrant to fight more seriously. Almost immediately, Tyrant's assaults on Eleking turned vicious, all while Rei was left to take hit-after-hit, unable to fight back. Even worse during their torture, Rei lost his Battle Nizer and was unable to retrieve it as Tyrant continued to pummel Eleking. Even with the ZAP SPACY arriving to try and weaken Tyrant by firing their missiles at it. Tyrant continued to show no signs of damage taken. Finally in one sick attack, Tyrant sliced Eleking's neck, and Rei's monster died from his injuries, leaving Rei comatose and Grande victorious, who took his leave by recalling Tyrant and taunting Rei for his inexperience.[The Strongest Reionyx]
Sometime after Rei awoken from his coma, Grande was seen having summoned Tyrant once more to fight off a fleet of Alien Pedan ships who were looking for Rei (and Grande as well.) When Rei now awake and had his Battle Nizer now upgraded into a Neo Battle Nizer, the two Reibloods did battle once more. This time though, Gomora was now on the same level of strength as Tyrant was, thus the two monsters' battle came to a Standstill. Finally during a beam battle between Tyrant's Death Fire and Gomora's Super Oscillatory Ray, Gomora overpowered Tyrant's attack and the battle shifted to Gomora's favor from that point on. Gomora pummeled Tyrant to a pulp, and using the same tactic they used on Bemstar on Boris, Litra transformed into Fire Litra and discharged a huge burst of Fire from its body towards Tyrant. Tyrant absorbed the attack and left himself wide open for Gomora to stab Grande's Monster with his horn, charging Tyrant's innards with his Super Oscillatory Ray from the inside, destroying him.[The Second Awakening]

Ultraman Saga[]
Tyrant was one of the many monsters revived by Hyper Zetton with the use of Spheres (along with Antlar, King Pandon, Black King, and Verokron) to assist him in battling against the newly-formed Ultraman Saga. Fortunately the fusion ultra received some backup as well in the form of the Ultra Brothers (whom were earlier notified of the disturbance in Dyna's universe,) and they battled against Hyper Zetton's monsters while Saga resumed his battle with Hyper Zetton. Ultraman Leo fought with Tyrant for a short period of time and eventually, Tyrant was killed after being struck by Ultraman Leo's Leo Kick.
Ultra Zero Fight[]
Tyrant served as the "newest" member of Kaiser Darkness's servants known as the "Darkness Five".[3] After Jatar's failure in stopping Ultraman Zero, the ultra was confronted by the next member of the Darkness Five, an Alien Temperor known as "Villanius". To assist him in battling Zero, Villanius revived Tyrant and together they formed a pairing known as the "Ominous Duo". While Zero found their name humorous, Villanius and Tyrant together formed a much more threatening pair than Jathar alone was, and both monster and alien proceeded to double-team Zero in battle. Worse still, just as Zero was managing to overcome their assaults, he learned from the Darkness Five's (then) Leader, an Armored Mefilas named "Sly" had taken a hostage in the form of Zero's friend, Pigmon. Taking advantage of the distraction, the rest of the Darkness Five appeared (excluding Sly) assisted Villanius and Tyrant in overwhelming Zero with no mercy.
Fortunately for Zero, backup had arrived in the form of his own team: The Ultimate Force Zero. Arriving to ward off the Darkness Five while Zero went off to face Sly and rescue Pigmon, each member of each faction faced off with one another, with Tyrant facing Jean-Nine specifically. Afterwards, Tyrant and the rest of the Darkness Five were left to watch from afar once Zero returned as Zero Darkness to fight and kill the members of the Ultimate Force Zero members (Zero had been possessed by Ultraman Belial's ghost.) However, once Zero Darkness transformed into Shining Zero after Zero expelled Belial from his body, Tyrant and the rest of the Darkness Five were forced to retreat in fear of being attacked. The Darkness Five was last seen together, having regrouped with a revived Ultraman Belial, and waiting for the next time they would fight Zero again.[4]
Ultraman Ginga Theater Special[]
Tyrant was brought to life after Alien Icarus, an agent of Dark Lugiel, threatened to kill Misuzu unless Hikaru and his friends agreed to give up the spark dolls of the monster's other components (Red King II, Baraba, Seagorath, Bemstar, Hanazagiran, and King Crab). Not willing to let their friend get hurt, the teens complied, and with the six spark dolls in his possession, Alien Icarus DarkLived them, along with himself, to merge into the chimera monster. Knowing that Tyrant needed to be stopped, Hikaru transformed into Ultraman Tiga by UltraLiving with its spark doll to face the chimera monster. For most of the battle, Tiga and Tyrant's strength was evenly matched. However when Hikaru tried to finish off the monster with the Zepellion Ray, Tyrant absorbed the beam into its gorge, allowing the monster to overpower the weakened Tiga due to how much power Hikaru had put into the attack. Before Tyrant could finish him off though, the chimera monster was confronted by Jean-Nine, who assisted Tiga in fending of the abomination. Tyrant was no match for the combined might of Tiga and Jean-Nine, and after the ultra severed the chimera monster's whip, Tiga stabbed Tyrant with its own anchor, while Jean-Nine destroyed it with his Jean-Stardust attack.[Ultraman Ginga Theater Special]
Ultra Fight Orb[]
Tyrant was revived by Reibatos when the Ghost Sorcerer combined the souls of the monsters that made up Tyrant's body in the Monster Graveyard. Tyrant was then unleashed to stall Zoffy and Ultraman Jack while Reibatos left to prepares the revival of Belial's former Monster Army. The two ultras were barely able to hold off Tyrant just long enough for backup to arrive in the form of Seven, Zero, and the newly transformed Ultraman Orb Emerium Slugger. Tyrant was no match for the combined might of 2 fresh ultras and a fusion ultra, and was eventually destroyed by a combination of Seven's Wide Shot, Zero's Wide Zero Shot, and Orb's Wide Slugger Shot.[Ultra Fight Orb]
Ultraman Geed[]
Tyrant was one of the many Monster Capsules that was in the possession of the Alien Storm, Kei Fukuide.[5] Learning of a recently appeared Little Star that was in the possession of Leito's daughter, Mayu, Kei unleashed Tyrant to find the girl and kill her so as to acquire said Little Star. Appearing directly above REM's Obsevatory, Tyrant was confronted by Riku, Laiha, and Leito, knowing that the monster was looking for Mayu. Riku immediately transformed into Ultraman Geed, and the ultra did battle with Tyrant to fend off the Monster. Meanwhile as the two battled one another, Laiha and Leito learned that another monster has appeared in Mitsuse Foothills: Skull Gomora. Leito transformed into Ultraman Zero to assist Geed and both ultras briefly tangled with Tyrant. However, believing that Kei might be with Skull Gomora, Geed left to confront the Fusion Beast while Zero was left to deal with Tyrant himself. Fortunately, the seasoned ultra managed to deal with Tyrant with no trouble after turning into his Zero Beyond form, and after slicing up the Monster with a pair of duel wielding Zero Twin Swords, Tyrant was immediately destroyed by the Wide Beyond Shot.[The Sword of an Oath]

Notes[]
- The only part of Tyrant's body that is not confirmed to be made from are his feet.
- Originally, Tyrant's Body Parts were chosen for different parts of his body:
- Tyrant's Tail was to originally come from Hanazagiran.
- Tyrant's Feet were to originally come from Baraba.
- Tyrant's Arms were to originally come from Red King II.
- One Monster that has played an unusually part in the creation of Tyrant is the monster, Black King (from Return of Ultraman.) A few magazine articles in the past have stated that Tyrant's second horn on his head was to have come from Black King's own horn, but as of Tyrant's newest appearance in Ultraman Ginga, Black King's inclusion has been proven false (or at the very least, retconned out.) Another possible theory to Black King's involvement in Tyrant's creation is possibly Tyrant's Feet. In the episode's original script, Two monsters were to be placed on Tyrant's head, one being Black King, and the other being a placeholder known as "XXX". In said script, Tyrant's feet was also labelled as "XXX".
