Tarude

"Oh, great Don Nostra, do we really want to work with someone like that? I have heard that he was once on the side of light. He may be looking for a chance to stab us in the back."

- Tarude announcing his anxiety of Jugglus joining their group.

An Alien Metron appears as a member of the Planet Invasion Union named Tarude (タルデ). He originally had to plan to conquer Earth by using hallucinogenic cigarettes, but seeing as though fewer people are smoking cigarettes nowadays, he decided to call the plan off.

Ultraman Orb
He first appeared in episode six of the series where he reported to his boss, Alien Mefilas Nostra about his previous plan and then he, along with the other members, met Jugglus Juggler who volunteered to take care of Ultraman Orb, who was the Union's main obstacle for conquering Earth. He then played a card game with Kaiju Cards with Juggler and Alien Nackle Nagus while they talked about the greediness of humans when Nagus' henchmen reported to him that the SSP and the VTL captain was walking around investigating their forest hideout. Once Jugglus left after Nostra thanked him for what he did, Tarude worried that Jugglus would not remain loyal to them because, according to him, he was once on the side of good and that he might stab them in the back when he gets the chance. Nostra reassured him that everything will work out, since he has his "trump card", Ultraman Belial's Ultra Fusion Card, with him should things go wrong.

"The Planet Invasion Union would not stand still after what he had done. This vengeance... must be fulfilled!"

- Tarude, Great Heart Sweeping.

His skepticism would be true in episode 10 as Jugglus killed Nostra and Nagus for backstabbing him in their own deal and confiscated Belial's card. Tarude, who survived the incident due to not being around swears vengeance to Jugglus.

Powers and Weapons

 * Hallucinogenic Cigarettes : Although only planned, it is likely that Tarude has his own supply of it, considering that should the plan approved, he would have carried the act quickly.
 * Kaiju Cards : Shared with other Planet Invasion Union members, Tarude is also in possession of Kaiju Cards, despite never shown to use them except in poker.
 * Saucer :Tarude and the Planet Invasion Union's main transportation is a conjoined saucer, which was the same model as his race's first generation. The saucer itself has the dimensional distortion machine that traps its victims within space time continuum, although it is revealed to have a leakage, as SSP and Shibukawa used it to escape.
