History
Ultraseven
Nurse in Ultraseven
Nurse was a robot dragon that accompanied its master, Alien Wild for his next assignment. After arriving on Earth, Nurse remained hidden inside of a cave while Alien Wild collected samples for his project.
After being swindled by the UG, Alien Wild called out to Nurse to attack the Ultra Garrison. After a long mid-air fight, the Ultra Guard struck Nurse's tail, causing the mechanical dragon to fall to the ground. Narse quickly turned its body into its Saucer Form. After the Ultra Guard destroyed Alien Wild as it tried to escape Earth, Nurse, now out of control, attacked the Ultra Guard relentlessly.
Luckily, Ultraseven showed up, being freed after Alien Wild was destroyed, and he chased after Nurse into a region where they could not harm the Ultra Garrison. Nurse put up a tricky fight against Ultraseven, spinning around him several times making the Ultra dizzy. With Ultraseven dazed, Nurse suddenly coiled around him and tried to squeeze the life out of Ultraseven. However, Seven didn't give up, and, using the power of the sunlight, broke free from Nurse's coils. In the process, Nurse's entire body broke into several pieces, ending its life.
Trivia
- Nurse's name (both English and Japanese) also refers to the similarly-named real-life occupation in the medical field.
- Nurse's roar is a slightly lower-pitch Ebirah roar.
- In the series The☆Ultraman, the monster Dragodos is said to be Nurse's successor.
- Narse is one of the monsters seen in one of the stock footages of Seven's past battles in episode 48.
- Though likely unintentional, Nurse bears a resemblance to Manda. Many fans characterize Nurse to be the Manda's mechanical doppleganger and some even call it "Mecha Manda" for such a reason.
- Nurse's roar would be reused for Vakishim.
Ultraman Mebius: Anderes Horizont
A disfigured three-headed version of Nurse named Naga appeared under the control of an Alien Serpent. Serpent hid Naga in an unknown location while he infiltrated GUYS to steal information on them and various monsters. He was eventually found out and summoned Naga to his aide. Ultraman Mebius appeared and fought the mechanical monster. After a great battle with the three head machine, Naga was destroyed by Mebius's Mebium Shoot along with its master.

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