History
Ultraman Mebius
The Alien Fanton was one of the few aliens in the universe to maintain a peaceful relationship with Earth. When one of the Fantons contacted GUYS to alert him of his arrival, GUYS arranged to meet him in a forest. When they did arrive, he told GUYS of something called "C-Pin 929"; an item he was looking for. After the introductions, GUYS brought him back to their HQ for a feast. The Fanton then proceeded to eat everything on the table, and then fell asleep shortly after finishing. After finding Alien Fanton's C-Pin 929 and returning it, Alien Fanton bid farewell to GUYS and repayed them with clues about Tsurugi's identity, as well as a gift worth a great fortune for their kindness.
Fanton would return many months later (in episodes 49 and 50) when he, Zamsher, Alien Psychokino, and Ultraman Hikari came to help GUYS fight Alien Emperor. Fanton himself however did not participate in the fight physically. After Alien Emperor was soon destroyed, Fanton and Psychokino left quietly and happily.
Trivia

- In certain stageshows, another Alien Fanton suit was made, which called Fonta (フォンタ Fonta), the son of the original Alien Fanton in Ultraman Mebius. It appears to be a miniaturized version of Fantonians, true to being that of a child or adolescence. Fonta had a friend named Djidji, a Dada and the two were accidentally involved in a scheme enacted by the Dark Four Heavenly Kings whom tried to attack the Ultras as a revenge from their defeat. This suit was modified once into the Fanegon People in Ultra Zero Fight and later used again in Ultraman Festival 2015 as a young Alien Fanton scientist that worked for Xio in an outer space branch.

It appeared in the final episode of Ultraman X. After Ultraman X spoke out to Gomora and striked Greeza right in the center of his chest, Fanton's Cyber Card, along with all of the other Cyber Cards, traveled to X and united with him. Cyber Fanton's power was used to help form the Hybrid Armor and power up the Ultimate Xanadium to defeat Greeza once and for all. Fanton, along with the numerous other Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls, then appeared and thanked Daichi as he thanked them. The Rainbow Land

Ultraman Taiga
Alien Fanton was disguised as a human selling clothes and other items, seemingly under a bridge. He was actually an informant that Homare Soya sought out to get information on the Monster Bomb that the Villain Guild had acquired. After giving the Fanton some homemade 15 year old Caspian Sea Yogurt, which Fantons can get drunk on, he turned back to his original form and told Homare and Hiroyuki about the Monster Bomb's origins; an Alien Zetton named Zolin acquired it from Alien Markind and wanted to sell it off, but it was stolen by someone during transportation. Fanton also noticed Hiroyuki's Hinode Juice bottle cap and was very interested in it because it was very valuable in his planet, and offered to provide them with more information in exchange.
