Raizon (ライゾン, Raizon) is a horror that was first featured in the Original Series. A large beastly predator, it was responisble for the massacre of Kouga Saejima's friends. Kouga wouldn't have a chance to slay the demon beast until he became Garo. In the Ryūga-verse, another Raizon appeared but it is unclear is this the dimensional twin or something else.

Personality[]

Much of the origins of Raizon is unclear, only that it's one of the rare few horrors that existed in both the Original Series and Ryūga-verse. A beast-type horror, it resembles a chimeric dinosaur with insect parts on its head and a prehensile tail. It's unclear how the demon came to be, but it doesn't speak and behaves much like an animal with limited intelligence. An opportunistic ambusher, the beast only appears when it feels conditions are favorable without much resistance. Raizon is a bi-pedal walker, but can make great leaps with its legs. During moments of attack or retreat, it can quickly jump in for a surprise attack and jump out as an emergency escape; it's favorite tactic is smash-and-grab. The horror prefer easy targets like children, it would launch a surprise attack and quickly devour as much as it can before escaping. Similar to a T-Rex, Raizon has small clawed hands that can't do much. Instead, it relies on its prehinsile tale for whipping attacks or to grab and throw things. When hungry, it can use its tail to grab hold of a victim to devour it. Although it has a large mouth, it has mandibles to help it eat. In combat situations, Raizon can use its tail, mouth, and claws to attack. Unlike other horrors, willing to put up a fight with a Makai Knight(s), Raizon prefers to flee. It is most dangerous when cornered as the beast will fight to defend itself. Althought not a powerful horror, it's one of the few that has evaded the Makai Order for years before its demise.

History[]

Original Series[]

During Kouga Saejima's training under Wataru Shijima as a child, he was forced to watch a Raizon devour most of the friends he made during his training under Wataru Shijima. In the present day, Kouga crosses paths with the Raizon and avenges his friends' deaths by slaying Raizon personally.

Ryūga-verse[]

Another Raizon terrorized a village that developed a custom of child sacrifice so the Horror would leave them along. The Raizon fed on the village's offerings until Jinga Mikage and his wife Amily slew it. But that event played in their own descent to darkness when villagers, believing Raizon to be too much for the Makai Knight and his wife, killed Yuuto to serve as an offering in place of one of their own.
