Subtitle: Magnetic Monster (磁力怪獣)

Ultraman
During an meteor investigation mission deep in a desert region, the SSSP was ambushed by the monster Antlar, whom had dug an antlion-like hole in the middle of the desert. They tried attacking the massive insectiod monster with their lasers, but Antlar's rough hide was impenetrable by far and proceeded to fire his magnetism ray from his mandibles, sucking in The Science Patrol's weapons. Luckily, the Science Patrol managed to escape while Antlar burrowed away.

While on their mission, The Science Patrol then found an ancient civilization that was being attacked by the monster too, to which they learned was called "Antlar". They also learned that the civilization hailed Ultraman as a prophet, and it was Ultraman who was the hero Noah from the Bible. naming their city after a blue stone "Baradhi" that was given to them by Ultraman/Noah himself, many years ago.

Suddenly Antlar returned, attacking the City of Baradhi. Hayata transformed into Ultraman to face Antlar, but the giant was tricked countlessly by Antlar's burrowing and his magnetic ray to reel Ultraman in. Ultraman managed to tear off on Antlar’s two pincers and fired a Specium Ray, but Antlar's exoskeleton was too tough and the two continued to fight. Realizing Ultraman was running out of time, The Princess grabbed the Stone of Baradhi and asked the Science Patrol to throw it at Antlar in hope of destroying it. As soon as they did, a shower of sparks erupted from all over Antlar's body, ending its life and destruction.

Ultraman Max
Antlar reappeared in episode 11 of the series, Ultraman Max.

In this series, Antlar was a monster that destroyed the city of "Baradhi" long ago and that Antlar would return in the future to punish those that polluted the environment in a prophecy. Four thousand years later, Antlar returned in Tokyo, attacking the city with his magnetic beam with little to nothing that DASH could to stop it as Antlar left to rest.

Once DASH found out that the Blue Stone of Baradhi was the only thing that could weaken Antlar, the monster returned to attack once again. While DASH's weapons were powerless, Kaito turned into Ultraman Max to fight Antlar himself. It seemed the two were evenly matched until Antlar used his magnetic ray to his advantage on Max, attacking him with a transformer and even blocking his Maxium Cannon. Finally once DASH found a Stone of Baradhi, they fired it at Antlar, greatly weakening the monster enough for Ultraman Max to cut off one of its pincer mandibles with his Max sword before finishing it off with the Maxium Cannon.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey
Antlar reappeared in episode 4 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey.

In this series, Antlar was a monster owned by an Alien Babarue who used him for his own sadistic pleasure, attacking the ZAP SPACY and its Captain (despite Captain Hyuga's detest that he is NOT a Reionyx.) However, Reimon appeared in his Burst Mode as well as his Gomora and both Gomora and Antlar fought hard and brutally to a standstill, trading blows. Once the ZAP SPACY was reunited, Antlar tried to attack its main ship the Spacy Pendragon. Gomora however transformed into Reionic Burst mode and viciously attacked Antlar, tearing off its pincers. Greatly weakened by his monster's state, Alien Babalou called back his Antlar to safety and retreated. Both master and monster were most likely killed when Planet Hammer was destroyed by Alien Reiblood.

Trivia

 * The Antlar suit from Ultraman Max was reused for Antlar's battle in this series.
 * During the opening credits to the series, Antlar is seen battling Doragory, even though neither monster fought or met each other in the series. Ironicaly, however, both monsters DO appear together in the same episode

Antlar is one of Ultraman Belial's 100 Monster Army. He was first seen rising out of the ground in a shot from the Monster Graveyard along with Alien Baltan, Gomess, King Joe Black, Nova, and Verokron before being re-captured by Ultraman Belial. He then teamed up with Silvergon, Goldras, King Guesra, Magular, Gomess, Alien Baltan, Zetton, Gudon, Twin Tail, and Arigera to take on Ultraman. Antlar was killed by Ultraman's Ultra-Attack Ray.

Antlar reappeared in episode 39 of the special series, Ultraman Retsuden.

In a special episode showcasing certain events prior to the Ultraman Saga film, Antlar is seen as one of the many monsters revived by Alien Bat and Sphire to battle against the Ultra Brothers, with Antlar battling with Ultraman. Antlar fought with Ultraman for a short period of time, but was eventually killed by Ultraman's Specium Ray.

Trivia

 * The Antlar suit from Ultraman Max was reused and modified for his appearance in the film.
 * Unlike in the original series, Ultraman's Specium Ray never phased Antlar, but in the film, Antlar was killed by it. This was mainly due to the fact that newer movies and shows often leave out old aspects, since Ultraman is targeted towards children who do not remember the original episode of Antlar, it is easier to have Antlar killed with the Specium Ray than an excuse for the stone of Baraj to reappear or use some other attack.
 * It is possible that Antlar's new abdomen is a weak spot, which explains how Antlar being killed by Ultraman's Specium Ray.
 * It is also possible that Ultraman became stronger than his previous series and managed to defeat it because of his increased power.

Antlar Hunting
While on a distant planet at night, Baltan Battler Barel, Guts Gunner Garm, and Magma Master Magna were talking about their last hunt with Eleking when they suddenly saw Antlar's Magnetic Beam that disabled Guts' communication with Djent and pulled Magna in before it suddenly stopped and, when the sun rose, it revealed itself and started manipulating the sand to pull in the trio. Garm pulled out his Energy Rifle but, before he could fire it, it got pulled in by Antlar's magnetic beam and he destroyed it with his mandibles. Garm then remembered the last time he hunted down and Antlar but, at that time, he had a partner: Nodachi Zamsher. He used his katana, which glowed at the moment, and sliced Antlar in half. Barel then decided to let himself be pulled in by Antlar then he attacked the Plasma Shards near the monster's mandibles. After that, Antlar went crazy and destroyed the architecture on this planet. They then split up and strategically attacked the monster's Plasma Shards with Barel getting the ones near its neck and left arm with his sword and Cyclone Saucer and Magna destroyed the ones on his back with his Force Sabre. Garm fired at Antlar with a Hawkeye Shot from his backup Energy Rifle but, somehow, the Plasma Shard reflected it. Antlar then started to pull them again but then Garm activated the self-destuct sequence on his Energy Rifle and, not only destroyed the Plasma Shards on its right shoulder, but also saved Barel and Magna from certain doom. With Garm's weapon gone and Barel almost on the verge of collapse, Magna was about to finish off Antlar himself when the Dada Team shows up. Dada B and C destroy Antlar's mandibles with a combination of Dada C's electric attack via Limiter and Dada B's Giant Cannon, and Dada A destroys the final Plasma Shard with his Plasma Cannon.
