Taiyan is a tire-shaped Daimon built by Kaolinite in Sailor Moon S. Sent to harvest Katsutoshi Yamada's Pure Heart while luring out Uranus and Neptune, she can roll along as a living wheel and spawn a copy of herself, and she stands out as the franchise's only fully nude Daimon.
A grey-purple hue colors this Daimon, whose figure goes almost entirely bare apart from a single tire wrapped around her from the hips up to the middle of her stomach. Her eyes are solid red, her hair a shoulder-length pink, and a headlamp sits over her left breast. The duplicate she can spawn matches her exactly, except its headlight rests on the opposite side. Either version can fold down into an actual tire, leaving nothing but the head in view. She holds the distinction of being the only Daimon rendered nude.
By collapsing into tire form, Taiyan rolls at great speed, and her chest-mounted lamp doubles as a flashlight. She fires binding rings that lock targets together, though a second ring undoes whatever the first one did. She can also split off an identical copy of herself that wields the same full set of tricks.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Kaolinite fashions her out of Katsutoshi Yamada's motorcycle, ostensibly to draw out his Pure Heart, though the real aim is to expose and eliminate Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus. She binds Sailor Moon and Uranus to one another, yet the two manage to coordinate their counterattack. Uranus wipes out the clone with World Shaking while Sailor Moon finishes the true Taiyan using Moon Spiral Heart Attack. The clash plays out in the ninth episode of Sailor Moon S.
