History

Ultraman Ace

Unitang appeared one day to destroy TAC's radar. She brought down two TAC planes and totaled a radar dish. After she disappeared, 10 cycling women suddenly appeared. TAC wanted to watch over their leader, Aya.

One night, Seiji Hokuto discovered that the 10 women were the Terrible-Monster. They controlled Hokuto's mind and prevented him from becoming Ultraman Ace. After a skirmish with Minami, the cycling girls turned into Unitang and she attempted to destroy TAC's radar once more.

Yuko Minami convinced Hokuto to become Ultraman Ace, so they transformed. Ace was taken down by the snapping claws of Unitang but he did manage to get the upper hand. Ultraman Ace split the monster into segments. However, the pieces flew away to a nearby city, where Unitang reassembled herself and began to rampage. Fortunately, Ace was in hot pursuit; he caught up with her and the fight resumed, with Ace finally killing her off using the Ultra Shower. ^{Terrible-Monster Is Ten Women?}

Later, Unitang, Mazaronian, Cowra, and Mazarius returned as ghosts and were combined into the strongest, final Terrible-Monster Jumbo King by Yapool. ^{You Are the Ace of Tomorrow!}

Trivia

• Horn Flash: When the horn on Unitang’s horn flashes, it can create large explosions that rival her own size on the ground.
• Horn Launch: When needed, the horn on Unitang’s head can launch from her skull, much like a horn, and fly at an opponent before returning.
• Reform: Should Unitang’s body be cut into pieces, she remains alive, and can control her severed body parts to move them away from the battlefield and reform in only a few moments.
• Human Disguises: Unitang is capable of transforming herself into ten separate young girls to blend in with normal human society.
• Mind Control: Unitang in their human disguises can control a person's mind, via a transmitter on the victim's neck. The ability was only shown on Hokuto.
• Fire Extinguisher: Unitang can emit a steady stream of fire-extinguishing mist from her chest.
