History
Ultraseven
Miclas made his debut appearance fighting against the Alien Pitt bioweapon, Eleking. The two monsters fought each other fiercely as the UG 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. The Secret of the Lake
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. Showdown at 140 Degrees Below Zero

Heisei Miclas
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. I Am an Earthling
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 "Maquette 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 Kelbim 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 Kelbim, but ultimately it was Ultraman Mebius that destroyed Kelbim 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: Bogarl, Mukadender, Zetton, Nova, and Angross.
During the battles against Bogarl, 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, as seen in Ultra Galaxy NEO
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 Kelbim 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 Kelbim 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 Maquette Miclas seen in Ultraman Mebius, being cowardly and lacking confidence, until Rei gave it some pep talk.
