History

Golza was an ancient monster from Earth's past than had awoken along with the sky-rending monster, Melba. Appearing first in Mongolia, Golza tunnelled back underground before GUTS could react. He later appeared in Japan and causes destruction until he found the Tiga Pyramid of Light.

Just as Melba arrives, both monsters manage to destroy two of the statues inside the Pyramid. Daigo tries attacking them, but to avail and is shot down. At the last minute, Daigo is transferred into the remaining statue. Fused with the statue, Ultraman Tiga is born and fights both Golza and Melba with little effort. After transforming into Power Mode, Tiga breaks Golza's ankle, forcing the monster to flees into the Earth, while Tiga finishes off Melba.

Fire Golza

Sometime later, Golza was discovered hiding underground beside a volcano which was threatening to erupt. After absorbing so much heat from the lava, He had developed new powers and strength, as well as red markings that covered its body, thus gaining the alias: .

As GUTS went into the volcano to investigate (with the Self Defense Force outside waiting in case a monster was attacking,) Fire Golza was awoken and made his way to the surface rampaging once again, without nothing that the SDF or GUTS could do to stop it. Daigo quickly turned into Ultraman Tiga, however Fire Golza's improved strength and absorption abilities proved to be too much for Tiga to handle. Even in Power Mode was there strength matched, but Fire Golza's absorption abilities were still a problem.

As a result, Tiga then combined his physical attacks with his energy attacks to finally get an advantage over the monster, which worked and allowed Tiga to use the Zepellion Beam and weaken Fire Golza. Realizing that the volcano was about to erupt again, Tiga carried Fire Golza into the air and hurled him into the volcano, preventing the eruption and Fire Golza from returning again for the rest of the series.

Nine years after Fire Golza's rampage, The volcano he was trapped in erupted without warning. Once Super GUTS arrived, they quickly became preoccupied with the destruction brought about by the eruption. After launching a special laser drill underground that was made to neutralize the epicenter, it was soon revealed that the eruption was caused by Hyper Golza.

Hyper Golza emerged and was again met by the weapons of the SDF and Super GUTS with nothing they could do except annoy Hyper Golza. Asuka turned into Ultraman Dyna, but was barely able to hurt Hyper Golza's body, even with the Solgent Beam, leaving Hyper Golza to man-handle the Ultra with little effort. However, Dyna refused to give up as he executed a powerful chop that cut open Hyper Golza's skin. Dyna then fired another Solgent Beam directly into the wound, finally ending Golza's life and reign of terror.
