Horror (Garo) - "Chapter of The Black Wolf"

"Chapter of The Black Wolf"

These are the Horrors that appeared during "Chapter of The Black Wolf" in Garo.

• Anglay (アングレイ, Angurei?, 1): The 12th Horror to appear, Anglay is a trapper able to bring artwork to life. The Horror poses as a female nude portrait within a painting until the gallery owner, Tasuke Taniyama (谷山 太輔, Taniyama Tasuke?), finds it and is possessed by it. The monster has a taste for young women, liquifying them into paint for consumption, and targets Kaoru. But Kouga's appearance forces the monster to lockdown the art exhibit. In the fight with Kouga, Anglay bursts out from its host and manifests itself into a painting, gaining an acidic paint-muck exterior with a frame collar until it regresses to its original form. Garo kills it and Kaoru stained by the Horror's blood as a result. Taniyama is portrayed by Toru Minegishi (峰岸 徹, Tōru Minegishi?).
• Ishutarb (イシュターブ, Ishutābu?, 2): The 13th Horror. Emerging from the "Chain Gate", it possesses the body of Azusa Kujō (九条 あずさ, Kujō Azusa?), a con-woman who takes advantage of money-minded people using an IT company as a front. Using her host's plan, Ishutarb uses money to lure her victims to meet her at nighttime. From there, she would rip them to shreds with chains shooting from Kujō's body and ingest the pieces caught by her chains' links. She is about to kill Kaoru when dumb luck and Kouga stops her. During the fight, Ishutarb alters her host's form into an iron maiden-like armored form. Garo kills her in a parking lot. Kujō is portrayed by Kahori Fujii (藤井 かほり, Fujii Kahori?).
• Morax (モラックス, Morakkusu?, 3): A unique Horror that has no need for a human host, once said to have wiped out an entire village in one night. Possessing a time-piece, altering it into a variety of forms, Morax lures those driven by time to pick him up. Once he has a hold on his victim, by after dusk, it dehydrates the victim until only dust remains. Forced to use humans as host, Morax takes advantage of Kouga's sympathy for humans to escape. Once he captures Kaoru, Morax assumes the form of a clock tower. Though he is armed with arsenal of bladed arms, Morax is killed finally by Garo, ripped out of his vessel as it crumbles to the ground.
• Pazuzu (パズズ?, 4): A Horror that first appeared around the time Taiga was alive. He takes over the body of Ryōichi Tategami (立神 亮一, Tategami Ryōichi?), making him a miracle worker of a surgeon so Pazuzu can feed on the euphoria-enriched blood of Tategami's patients. He slices them apart with the scalpel-bladed tendrils from the back of his head, while leaving the remains for his Horror minions. To ensure he could eat without interference, he erects a barrier to put any Makai Knight at a disadvantage. Kouga has trouble until he uses Kaoru to remove the seals that power the barrier. Upon Pazuzu's last moments, he pleas to devour Kaoru as his last meal. Utterly repulsed by this idea, Garo delivers the final blow, thus ending his reign of terror. Tategami is portrayed by Taishu Kase (加勢 大周, Kase Taishū?).
• Lunarken (ルナーケン, Runāken?, 5): A moth demon, possessing a woman who tries to commit suicide as the result of a man's insensitivity. She remains dormant in her zombified host until the full moon, when her bloodlust is at its zenith. During the fight, Garo realizes that the host is nothing more than a puppet composed/filled with moths. The actual Lunarken is the orb like weapon the puppet uses in its attacks. Lunarken is portrayed by Emi Kitagawa (北川 絵美, Kitagawa Emi?).
• Utoque (ウトック, Utokku?, 6): A corpse-like Horror that appears in a graveyard and possesses the body of a middle-aged prostitute named Kotomi Himigawa (氷見川 琴美, Himigawa Kotomi?), making her young again and giving her a beautiful body. In return, Kotomi uses her beauty to lure men for the Horror to devour, using the eyes as a medium to suck the life out of the victim's body before he explodes. In battle, she could launch graveyard tombs to attack Kouga & Rei before Utoque takes over. Once Utoque is killed by Garo, Kotomi is fatally wounded, and begs for help. But Garo states that she is already dead because she has allowed the Horror to possess her in the first place, and her body soon disintegrates. Kotomi is portrayed by Nao Oikawa (及川 奈央, Oikawa Nao?), her original form portrayed by Yoshie Uehara (上原 由恵, Uehara Yoshie?).
• Moloch (モロク, Moroku?, 8, 21): A Horror that is attracted to the sadness of Miri Kamisugawa (神須川 美理, Kamisugawa Miri?), a woman who killed six young men and collected their fingers after her pianist boyfriend committed suicide for being robbed of his dream. The Horror rapes/possesses her, using her intent to kill a remaining four men for their fingers while eating the rest. In its true-form, Moloch's body is two-toned (flaming on the left, icy on the right) with control over the elements of ice and fire, launching its hands to attack its enemies or kill its victims. Garo kills Moloch, with only the ring Miri had from her boyfriend remaining. Later the father of Miri, Yūki Kamisugawa (神須川 祐樹, Kamisugawa Yūki?) obtains the ring, along with the Horror's essence dagger and special bullets forged from other purified blades. Intent on revenge for his daughter, Yūki uses the bullets to create a pack of Horrors to help him kill Kouga. But after they are all killed, and he is denied death, Yūki stabs himself and became Moloch's new host. However, Yūki feels the pain that his daughter suffered and has Garo end his misery before the demon fully consumes him. Miri and Yuki are respectively portrayed by Erika (エリカ?) and Reo Morimoto (森本 レオ, Morimoto Reo?).
• Humpty (ハンプティ, Hanputi?, 9): A Horror that manifests from construction rubble to become a giant with strong armored body that seems invulnerable to the Garoken. Garo manages to kill him with the aid of Gōten and the Garo Zanbaken.
• Asmodai (アスモディ, Asumodi?, 10): A clown-like Horror that possesses the body of a clown (道化師, dōkeshi?). Using the red nose and his puppets, Asmodai forces his victims to show "their nature", turning them against each other in a fight to the death. Once they are dead, he turns them into beach balls to ingest. He is giant-sized in his true form, using his arms for locomotion. Though he attempts to con Garo out of similar ideologies, he is killed when Zero lops off his red nose. The clown is portrayed by Yuji Nakamura (中村 有志, Nakamura Yūji?).
• Dantarian (ダンタリアン?, 11): A neon-green stag beetle Horror that possesses a con artist gambler named Reijirō Kunugi (椚 礼次郎, Kunugi Reijirō?), tricking people to play a fixed coin game and after they lost, sealed their souls inside a coin. After he takes Kaoru, he brings Kouga into his alternate realm with three games of chance to save Kaoru's soul. After the third, Dantarian assumes his true form out of rage to lower himself to physical combat and is defeated by Garo. However, the Horror sets up a final challenge for Kouga upon his death that Kouga manages to succeed. Kunugi is portrayed by Jay Kabira (川平 慈英, Kabira Jei?).
• Noul (ノウル, Nōru?, 12): A Horror that appeared during Taiga's time as Garo. Possessing the body of an old toymaker (おもちゃおじさん, omocha ojisan?), he befriended Kouga whom he used as a shield to protect himself from Taiga, but Taiga mortally wounded the host so that the Horror ripped itself out, resembling a reddish version of its original form, in an attempt to kill Taiga. It was from that ordeal that Kouga understood the treacherous nature of a Horror. The old toymaker is portrayed by Zenjiro (ぜんじろう, Zenjirō?).
• Vuel (ヴエル, Vueru?, 13): A Horror that possessed a vehicle.
• Gargoyle (ガーゴイル, Gāgoiru?, 15): A Horror that takes the body of Kōhei Kuramachi (倉町 公平, Kuramachi Kōhei?), a sculptor who sold his soul to the "devil" to possess the "Hands of God" so he could create the ideal sculpture. Using his "gift", Kuramachi creates voodoo sculptures to torture his victims (young women) to death before sucking them down face first. He attempts to kill Kaoru when she hopes to learn more of her father through him, as she thinks Kuramachi had met her father. However, she finds out Kuramachi actually never met Yūji Mitsuki and was only inspired by his work. Gargoyle is killed by Zero, with a dying Kuramachi in awe of finally finding his "ideal piece" just before Zero kills him. Kuramachi is portrayed by Itsuji Itao (板尾 創路, Itao Itsuji?).

Tonuma is about to feed Kaoru to Haru as the final victim when Kouga arrives and exposes Haru, and kills the weakened monster, much to Tonuma's dismay. Though tempted to kill Tonuma, Kouga manages to control his anger and only knocks him unconscious. Haru's final words, how Kouga uses Kaoru to get to her, causes a rift between Kaoru and Kouga. Haru's human form is portrayed by miko.
