HistoryEdit
Ultraman NexusEdit
A spider-like space beast that took a home in the mountain regions of Japan, the creature began to stalk and hunt human prey in the fog it created, and erase the memories of those that seen it. As word of a memory erasing creature began to spread, the Night Raiders began to suspect a beast was behind the missing persons. They sent in a team in to investigate, and in the thick fog, Komon discovered the creature and lifted a portion of the fog with a special energy round.
The monster began to attack and lashed out with its webs. Holding Komon in the air with its webs, the beast prepared to feed until Nexus arrived, saving the human. The giant hero lashed out with his own attacks, but Banpira refused to die. The Night Raiders were ordered to aid Ultraman and aided the hero with their own attacks, but the monster began to spew out a thick fog and managed to burrow away!
It had escaped, but the organ it used to create the fog was damaged. The creature soon emerged from the ground and was heading directly for the city! Ultraman Nexus was called forth again and summoned the Meta-Field. Inside the field, Nexus escaped its webbing and managed to finally kill it with a shot of his Arrow-Ray Storm!
TriviaEdit

- Banpira's roar is a reused Magnia roar.
