Tiko
,→Bakugan Battle Planet
A shadowy dragon figure (likely Tiko) appears as a shadowy shape-shifting figure in the dreams of [[Dragonoid (Battle Planet)|Drago]] and the other AO Bakugan and overpowers them until [[Pyravian]] saves them. The Bakugan then wake up wondering if their nightmare was real.<ref>''[[Midsummer Nightmare]]''</ref>
Tiko makes a second appearance in ''[[Maze Daze]]'' when [[The Awesome Ones]] fall into a mysterious cave. The brawlers encounter [[Strata the Hunter]] and his Krakelios until Strata flees. A dark goop then falls and Tiko reappears, forming himself with forms into dark tentacles and later into a shadowy elephant/mammoth like creature[[Trunkanious]] Bakuzon controlled by Tiko. The Awesome Ones and their partner Bakugan combine their power and defeat Tikoit.
After the battle, Tiko is seen in his possible true form watching the AO and their Bakugan, laughing.<ref>''[[Maze Daze]]''</ref>
Tiko 's [[Trunkanious]] Bakuzon reappears several times when [[The Awesome Ones]] are exploring the sections of [[The Maze]] and disappears after fighting the AO Bakugan. He eventually reveals his true form himself to Drago and the others and puts up a strong fight against Drago, swallowing his Twisting Inferno attack and brushing off other attacks, he eventually retreats once again.
The Awesome Ones reach a mysterious section of The Maze with a golden ball, Tiko reappears to claim this ball of light, which is actually a Core Cell. Tiko struggles to enter the Core Cell, but eventually penetrates it and goes inside, with Drago coming after him. [[Dan Kouzo]] and Drago find themselves in an area with golden balls of light (the light of the Core Cell), but Tiko appears and turns the light into darkness. Dan comes up with an idea for Drago to absorb the light in order to power up similar to how BakuCores power up Bakugan. Drago absorbs the light and then evolves into [[Hyper Dragonoid (Battle Planet)|Hyper Dragonoid]], but Drago suddenly remembers that this dark golden Bakugan is actually named Tiko. Drago uses his powers to unleash a powerful fire attack against Tiko, the blast causes an earthquake in the real world (above ground) and causes a flashing hexagon to appear in the sky. The commotion scares the civilians and gets the attention of [[Philomena Dusk]] and [[Benton Dusk]], who wonder why this disturbance happened.
