History
When an alien world within Nebula M32 was destroyed millions of years ago, a family of three Hophop? somehow escaped and were flung across the universe. For eons the mother and her children traveled until Earth’s gravity pulled them in. As the atmosphere burned at her armor plates, the mother and her two kids were separated and landed in different locations.While her children were recovered by a young boy, Hophop was carted off to a research facility where her body was discovered to be more suitable for Venus than the Earth. It didn’t take long for Hophop to awaken and go on a rampage, smashing through the complex and laying waste to anything before her in search for its missing kin. Team DASH tried to attack it, but it superheated its body,set fire to its surroundings and launched its own counterattack against the DASH Birds. Kaito and Mizuki managed to find the two children who had adopted the Baby Hophops, but it was too late. Ultraman Max had to be summoned into battle.The adult fought hard against the hero that wished it no harm. Latching onto his arm and his head with her duck-like bill, Hophop forced Max down. When attempting to use the Maxium Sword, it bounced right off her armor plates, doing little more than aggravating the already? angry mother, but the end of the battle was near.When managing to push Hophop back, Max recovered the babies and showed them to the parent. Hophop was instantly calmed as its children flew to her. The mother laid on the ground, allowing Ultraman Max to hoist her into the air and take her to Venus where its children would act like the Adam and Eve to a brand new world for their kind.

Baby Hophops
There were also Baby Hophops.

Powers

 * Speed Increase:The Baby Hophops can increase the speed of objects that they are traveling on, allowing things like bicycles to move at blinding speeds.

History
Millions of years ago, a planet within Nebula M32 was destroyed in the creation of a new galaxy, but three? Hophops managed to escape the destruction somehow. The adult Hophop, along with her two children, were thrown across the cosmos for eons until an obstacle blocked their path: the Earth. Falling through the atmosphere, the mother and its two children were separated and landed in different locations.While Team DASH found the adult, a young boy found the babies and took them home as pets. When the adult awakened days later, so did the babies. The tiny creatures wanted nothing more than to be reunited with their parent, but Hophop was on a march of destruction, threatening lives as it moved through the countryside in a search for its lost children.Team DASH managed to recover the baby creatures and, with the help of Ultraman Max, returned them back to the space creature. Earth wasn’t a habitable planet for the monsters, but Venus was. With the babies back in the care of the adult, the battle was over and Max flew the family into space, escorting them to Venus, a habitable world for them.
