History
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 Guard. After a long mid-air fight, the Ultra Guard struck Nurse's tail, causing the mechanical dragon to fall to the ground. Nurse 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 Guard. 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 recovered from being dazed. After restoring his energy by absorbing sunlight with his Protectors, he burst free from Nurse's coils, splitting the machine into several pieces in the process, which finally deactivated the robotic dragon for good.
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.
- Nurse is one of the monsters seen stock footage 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 doppelganger and some even call it "Mecha Manda" for such a reason.
- Nurse's roar would be slowed down 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.

Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie
Nurse along with an Alien Zetton, were sent by Ultraman Belial to keep the ZAP SPACY from reaching Rei in the Monster Graveyard. Luckily, Shin Asuka (the human host of Ultraman Dyna) suddenly appeared and fought and defeated Alien Zetton. After transforming, Ultraman Dyna flew out to space and destroyed the gold robot dragon by cutting him into several pieces with the Dyna Slash. Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie
Trivia
- Nurse's appearance is fully CGI as opposed to puppetry.
- Nurse can be seen as one of the fingers on Belyudra's left hand.
Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure NEO
A Nurse was Alien Wild's saucer and robot servant, who he entrusted to attack Aron and Alien Guts' saucer. Nurse would reappear to pursue Ai Asama and Kanegon when they try to take cover in a limestone cave from a herd of Namegons. Nurse was destroyed by Red King that Ai summoned, but a piece of its torso fell onto King of Mons, awakening the slumbering monster.
Nurse's segment was also adapted in the Mega Monster Battle: ULTRA MONSTERS NEO, but without its master, Alien Wild. Instead, it was treated as a rogue monster that attacked Alien Guts' saucer into crashing on their test site planet and attacked the protagonist's monster. After the protagonist won, Nurse became entangled and try to flee, only to explode afterwards. Alien Guts survived and were analyzing their entire fight the whole time.
Trivia
- In ULTRA MONSTERS NEO, Kanegon mistook Nurse as a flying gold coin before the monster approached the protagonist.
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
- In the Cyber Card caricature, Nurse's arms are drawn to be as wide as its torso. Whether the Cyber Kaiju retain its saucer-transforming ability or not because of the design flaw is unknown.
Secret Origins of the Nursedessei: The Struggle of Special Section 3
Although unseen, Nurse was the transportation of Alien Wild Zagar for his vacation on Earth, but the saucer dragon broke when they arrived on Earth, forcing him to resort to various illegal activities to secure the means to fix Nurse. Marluru and Masamichi Hotta came to investigate the hideout and discover Zagar, but agreed to fix their ship after hearing his story, as well as asking for Nurse's blueprint in exchange for TPU's service. It was through this blueprint which Akito Hijiri used to study and create Nursedessei for GUTS-Select's use.
