History
Scorpiss are savage, insect-like monsters that act as the drones for the monster, Sandros, who planned to conquer earth with his vast armies of Scorpiss. The Scorpiss and Sandors first attacked Parastan on the planet Juran, reducing it to a dead rock, leaving Musashi of EYES to investigate. One stray Scorpiss managed to find Musashi and tried to kill the intruder, but Ultraman Cosmos appeared before Musashi and fought off the drone. After a relatively short battle, Cosmos managed to destroy the Scorpiss and rescue Musashi.

Sometime later, another Scorpiss appeared and landed in Saipan in order to destroy the city in its duty to destroy the planet. This time however, the Scorpiss was met with opposition in the form of Shau, one half of the Rayja duo. Shau was no match for Scorpiss's brute strength and was mortally wounded in battle. Fortunately, EYES showed up and managed to freeze Scorpiss in ice with one of their missile. The strategy however did not last long and Scorpiss was soon free to carry out its destruction. As a result, one of the nearby Alien Gya merged with Shau and faced the Scorpiss herself, but again Shau was no match for Scorpiss's strength. With the lucky interference of EYES, Shau was rescued, but the Scorpiss escaped back into space.

With the drone having failed to destroy Earth, Sandros decided to take more drastic measures and thus approached earth himself with an army of Scorpiss at his side. Luckily, EYES was able to put up a shield around Earth that protected the swarm from entering the atmosphere. However with the help of Sandros's power, The Scorpiss swarms managed to breach the shield around earth by converting themselves as kamikaze divers. As a result, all but 7 of the Scorpiss were destroyed but 7 Scorpiss were more than enough to cause damage all over Japan. With the combined forces of both Rayja, EYES, and Ultraman Cosmos, the remaining swarm was soon exterminated. But the loss of the Scorpiss however left the team to deal with their leader, Sandros...
