Banila was one of two ancient Kaiju that were released in episode 19 of Ultraman. A monster whose rivalry with the fellow ancient monster Aboras has persisted for centuries, the original Banila was sealed away by humans in the distant past, but was released after scientists found and inadvertently activated the capsule he had been contained in. The weaker of the two monsters, Banila was quickly defeated by Aboras, who would later be destroyed by Ultraman.

Banila is one of two ancient devil beasts sealed away eons ago and the archenemies of Aboras. The destructive twin behemoths remained trapped within their capsules until the container for both capsules was unearthed, Banila's having fallen out. While Aboras’s capsule was taken by the Science Patrol, Banila’s accidentally got transported to the dump were the dirt from the excavation was taken. During a storm one night, Banila's capsule was struck by lightning, Banila was released.
