Gardi was a kaiju that appeared in the series Ultraman Tiga and he was the pet of the entity Evil Tiga. He appeared in episode 44.
Due to Earth's atmosphere, Gardi can only be active for three minutes. Once three minutes pass, Gardi will become weakened and vulnerable. Long ago, Gardi was the pet of an Ultra who would later become known as Evil Tiga. Much like the rest of the Giants of Light, Gardi would find himself solidifyed in stone for centuries. In the present day when Masaaki Keigo had merged himself with Gardi's master's statue, transforming him into Evil Tiga.
Gardi had found himself a host in the form of a nearby dog, who was injured during the scuffle between Daigo and Masaaki. Taking the dog's body as a host, Gardi came to life and returned to the surface to confront his uncontrolled master. Gardi tearfully pleaded for his master to stop his destruction, but Masaaki's control over Evil Tiga was too much and the Evil Ultra viciously attacked his pet. Gardi continued to try and gain some control of his master while trying to fend off his attacks, but it was all in vain. Eventually, Ultraman Tiga would also return to the surface after having been weakened by Evil Tiga as well, but he was too late in saving Gardi as Evil Tiga blasted at his former pet, killing Gardi in cold blood. After a brutal battle between the Tigas, with Ultraman Tiga emerging victorious, the ultra took Gardi's body into space to honor the last of his kind. Later a dog identical to Gardi's injured host runs past Daigo and the GUTS team, implying that it had somehow returned to life.
