"We are the Iludo. We mean you no harm... We have come to this planet in search of others to coexist with us. Our's is a highly developed civilization, which has overcome pain sorrow, and fear. All are equal and all live in happiness."
- ―Iludo's address after its ship lands in Japan
The Iludo were parasitic aliens that came to Earth in an attempt to install a new hivemind and convert humanity into their own. The hivemind they installed was weakened by Shinjoh of GUTS, and the remaining Iludo merged into a giant which Ultraman Tiga easily dispatched.

History
Ultraman Tiga
As GUTS communicated with a group of TPC members, Kiyoto Inui and Shin Kinosaki, who were in space, something went terribly wrong. The ship lost contact and plummeted into the atmosphere, crashing to the ground. Upon GUTS's arrival at the crash site, a strange creature, an Iludo, emerged from the undergrowth. Perceiving it as a threat, they shot it, seemingly killing it.
They GUTS members boarded the ship and found Inui wounded. Later, another ship landed in broad daylight, carrying more beings of the same species that GUTS had just attacked. However, these new arrivals brought a message of peace for humanity. Upon examining the alien they had shot, GUTS discovered a communicator on it, revealing that it was somehow Kinosaki from the space crew, and that one of the creatures had attacked them. The crew had managed to electrocute and drive the beast into space, but not before sustaining injuries; one of them transformed into the creature that GUTS had killed. Realizing that the Iludo were not what they seemed, GUTS evacuated the city, but a group of people refused to leave, eager to meet the 'friendly' aliens. Inui, the sole survivor of the spaceship crash, held them at gunpoint and forced them to turn back. Suddenly, he collapsed to his knees and began speaking incoherently. Upon examining his old friend's wound, Tetsuo Shinjoh discovered the awful truth: Inui was transforming into an Iludo as well.
Determined to stop the Iludo, Inui decided that if he was going to die, he would take the Iludo with him and ran toward the base. An x-ray of the building revealed a giant brain, and soon, the ship began snatching people up with long energy tentacles. Shinjoh and the doomed Inui helped save the people in the area, and one of the GUTS Wings opened fire on the ship, but it was shot down. As they ran, the duo encountered another Iludo. She demanded that they hand over the people, and when she tried to launch her tentacle, Shinjoh shot her in the chest, killing her.
Shinjoh was then grabbed by the mothership as more Iludo appeared. The rest of GUTS arrived on the scene and launched an attack on the mothership. Unable to withstand the assault, the mothership was critically damaged. Realizing they could no longer easily capture humans, the Iludo merged into one giant alien and launched an attack. Daigo Madoka quickly transformed into Ultraman Tiga and engaged the alien, beating it down and blasting it. However, as the mothership began to activate, Tiga was momentarily distracted, allowing the alien to gain the upper hand. Inside the mothership, the giant brain began to activate, but Inui, using the knowledge he had gained from the infection, told Shinjoh what to do: everyone needed to say the same thing at the same time.
Meanwhile, Tiga was being overwhelmed by the giant Iludo, but Shinjoh and GUTS managed to destroy the giant brain, which distracted the Iludo and gave Tiga the opportunity to unleash the Zeperion Beam, blowing the invader to pieces. Shinjoh then obtained an antidote and cured his friend of the infection, ending the threat of the Iludo invasion.
