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
Trivia
- Miclas uses shortened and pitched down Goldon roars. These roars would later be sped up and modified for Pandon.
- This is the only series in which Miclas displays a beam weapon (excluding the Maquette 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, according to Tohl Narita, was based on an Incan Mask.
Heisei Ultraseven
Miclas reappeared in the The Final Chapters Hexalogy series of Heisei Ultraseven.
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
- Suit actor: Kazunori Yokoo
- Miclas' suit is originally an attraction suit created to promote the 30th Anniversary Trilogy episodes of Heisei Ultraseven. The moment producer Masahiro Tsuburaya took notice of this, he immediately decided to incorporate Miclas into The Final Hexalogy alongside a newly-built Windom costume.
- This Miclas suit was also used in its appearance in Ultraman Max in Alien Metron's warehouse as one of the many Ultra Kaiju suits. Here, it and the other suits shook gently after the Seabozu suit somehow moved and closed the door after Kaito Touma, before eventually resuming inactivity. The Untargeted Town The actual meaning behind this scene is unclear, even less so with the episode being confirmed to be non-canon by the scriptwriter Yuji Kobayashi.
- A silhouette of Miclas appeared in the opening credits of the first 3 episodes of the 1999 OVs.
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 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. Reflecting the original Miclas' defeat from Eleking, the Maquette Monster would reject a few of Eleking's data, simultaneously creating Lim Eleking in the process.

Trivia

- According to the official website, Miclas' sole purpose (One-Point Relief) of being summoned is to exert its brute strength in any way possible (tackling or trampling enemies), hence doing so consumed a lot of energy needed to materialize the monster before it dissipates into Digital Particles.[4]
