History

Ultraman

One of the residents of the Tatara Island, the Suflan were responsible for the death of one member of a small group of Japanese scientists. With their disappearance, the Science Patrol arrived to attempt a rescue, but upon finding the bloody clothes of one of the missing men, the group was attacked. Numerous vines lashed out and grabbed Fuji and Ide. However, the plants were easily dealt with by Arashi's Spider Shot. As the patrol moved back, more vines began to dangle from the canopy, moving lazily as their human prey escaped without harm. ^{The Lawless Monster Zone}

Elsewhere in the world, the carnivorous vines thrived. While locating the beast Gomora on the Johnson Islands, the group of scientists was attacked by the vines. Using his Spider Shot, Arashi managed to burn the plants, freeing the trapped scientists. ^{The Prince of Monsters: Part 1}

Trivia

• In real life, several Suflan were created as attraction props for various events, two of these were used and repainted to become part of Zaigorg's chest tentacles in Ultraman X The Movie: Here He Comes! Our Ultraman. Additionally since Zaigorg's design also incorporated monsters from Ultraman, the Suflan prop fulfills this role as well.
• Suflan's relation to Gomora is referenced again in episode 3 of Ultraman Z where GAF (Global Allied Forces) were planning to move a hibernating Gomora to Suflan Island. ^{Live Coverage! The Monster Transport Operation}

Ultraseven

The Suflan reappeared in this series as plants created by Alien Bell. However, they are only referred to as "Suflan", with their true name being Space Suflan .

Created by Alien Bell to inhabit his Dimension X, Space Suflan thrived there and caught two Ultra Guard members when they were trapped there. However, the plants were burned away by the UG Standard Uniform Pistols. ^{Escape Dimension X}

Trivia

• Suflan is the only Ultraman Kaiju to reappear in Ultraseven.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure

Suflan are plants native to an unnamed planet where Io Mikura, Pigmon and the elderly Alien Pedan were stranded on. When Io and Pigmon try to run from Pedan after mistaking his intention from hostility, the pair became entangled by several Suflan vines. The elder Pedan uses his gun to shoot the vines and save Io and Pigmon before welcoming them to his hut.
