History

Ultraseven

The second of the three Capsule Monsters used by Ultraseven, Miclas was an imitation of a giant life form from Planet Buffalo.

Miclas made his debut appearance fighting against the Pitt Seijin bioweapon, Eleking. The two monsters fought each other fiercely as the Ultra Garrison tried to make it to the scene and while Dan tried to retrieve his Ultra Eye (which had been stolen by the Pitt Aliens) but after a lengthy battle, Eleking gained the advantage by electrocuting him with his tail, weakening Miclas. Dan then called Miclas back into his capsule for his safety.

Miclas was used once again to fight the monster Gandar as Dan had lost the Ultra Eye in the snow created by Gandar. Miclas fought valiantly against Gandar but the fierce weather conditions and Gandar's Ice Breath was too much to handle and became paralyzed after a combination of both that and his time running out. Once Gandar was killed off by Ultraseven, Miclas was called back into his capsule. Since then, Miclas would be greatly remembered by his master as a heroic monster.

Trivia

• Miclas's roar was reused from Goldon.
• Miclas's name is also spelled as 'Mikulas, Mikuras, and Micras'.
• This is the only series in which Miclas displays a beam weapon (excluding the Marquette Monster of Miclas from Ultraman Mebius)
• Miclas was originally intended to be the monster that was killed during Alien Guts's invasion, but was replaced by Windom instead.
• Miclas' appearance appears to be a mixture of a bull, a frog, and a fish.
• Miclas' costume appears in Ultraman Max episode 24. In the episode Alien Metron said Miclas was hiding.

Heisei Ultraseven

Miclas reappeared in the Heisei Ultraseven series.

Only appearing once, Kazamori sent Windom and Miclas to take care of the monster Zabangi. Despite the odds in their favor however, Zabangi was too much for the two Capsule Monsters to handle, and they were beaten, with Miclas's horns being ripped out during the fight. Following their defeats, Dan recalled them back before facing the Nonmalt and Zabangi himself.

Trivia

• This Miclas suit was used in his appearance in Ultraman Max in Alien Metron's warehouse as one of the many suits.
• A sillouette of Miclas appeared in the opening credits of the first 3 episodes of 1999 OV.

Ultraman Mebius

Miclas reappears throughout the series Ultraman Mebius.

In this series, Miclas is created as a "Marquette Monster," a new generation term for the Capsule Monsters. However, Miclas was incredibly clumsy and lacked confidence, which prevented him from doing anything that seemed threatening, especially when the outer space threat known as Cherubim attacked Japan. However after some movitational words were spoken to him by his master, Konomi of Team GUYS, Miclas gained enough courage to toughen up and fight back against Cherubim, but ultimately it was Ultraman Mebius that destroyed Cherubim in the end. Since then, Miclas was classified by both GUYS and METEOR (GUYS's superior) as a failure for its weakness and thus Windom was created as a replacement, but Miclas would be used again by GUYS whenever there was a monster attack and if neither GUYS nor Mebius were there to help. Miclas would go on to battle other monsters such as: Bogar, Mukadender, Zetton, Nova, and Angross.

During the battles against Bogar, Miclas was upgraded into "Eleki-Miclas." By combining the data of Eleking, Eledortus, and Neronga, Eleki-Miclas was given electrical powers. The name however was not used as much, merely as an upgrade until Windom was finished.

Trivia

• Aside from his name change, Eleki-Miclas shows no appearance difference between himself and the original Miclas
• In this series, the tips of Miclas's front horns are blue instead of green. They would remain this color in Miclas's subsequent appearances.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey

Miclas reappeared in the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey.

After Eleking was killed by Grande's Tyrant in battle, Miclas was given to Rei by Ultraseven after Rei and his monsters freed Ultraseven from Armored Darkness.

At first, Miclas got off to a rocky start fighting against a Cherubim that belonged to an Alien Guts that had fought Rei before. But after some motivational words were given to him by Rei, He managed to defeat Cherubim with ease. Afterwards, Miclas was used again to assist the ZAP SPACY crew against an armada of King Joe Blacks and to briefly assist Gomora against a possessed Armored Mefilas. After the destruction of Planet Hammer and Alien Rayblood, Miclas bid farewell to Rei as Ultraseven returned to retrieve him.

Trivia

• Despite being Ultraseven's personal Miclas, Miclas at first displayed personality traits similar to the Marquette Miclas seen in Ultraman Mebius, being cowardly and lacking confidence, until Rei gave it some pep talk.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie

When the monsters, Dorako, Bemstar, and Saramandora were unleashed by Alien Shaplay to ambush the remaining Ultra Brothers. They were met by surprise by Dan's Capsule Monsters; Windom, Miclas, and Agira. Miclas fought Bemstar.

After Rei and Mirai (Ultraman Mebius's human form) were rescued, Miclas hurled Bemstar into a wall of ice and finished him off by kicking him through it, literally beating Bemstar to death. Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie

Ultraman Ginga

Miclas participated in the Dark Spark War fighting alongside the Ultras against various monsters until he was turned into a Spark Doll by Dark Lugiel.

It is likely that he returned to space in his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.

Ultraman Ginga: Theater Special Ultra Monster ☆ Hero Battle Royal!

Miclas appeared in the second movie special. He was the seventh monster to be UltraLived by the Livepad. When he first appeared, he knocked Red King down and out. He then went up against Snowgon and was defeated due to her Frozen Snow Freezer.
