History

Ultraman 80

A creature from space, Zandrias came to Earth in a meteorite. He crash-landed in a remote area of Japan, and his signal was still picked up by UGM's sensors. However, before anything could be done against the kaiju, it burrowed underground and began moving beneath the surface.

UGM quickly mobilized to face the first Kaiju to arrive on Earth since Ultraman Leo's time and flew off to locate the beast. The monster finally emerged from below ground and began to attack the city with powerful winds from its wings, before landing and beginning to tear the town apart on his own. UGM arrived to assault the terrible behemoth but failed to do any harm to it. Takeshi Yamato discovered Super and his father, whose tension may have, in fact, provided the negative energy for Zandrias' creation.

Suddenly, a shocking turn of events occurred, there wasn't one, but two Zandrias! The first one the mother, the other a child. However, there seemed to be tension between them as while teaching her son to fly, the elder Zandrias got aggressive with her son and accidentally knocked the younger Kaiju through a building.

Takeshi finally turned into Ultraman 80 to do battle with the monsters, gaining the upper hand until the two began double teaming them. Now working together, the two monsters gained the upper hand. After apparently defeating 80 by knocking him down, the two monsters calmed down. With their tensions resolved, the two monsters flew away, concluding the fight. ^{From the Sky with Love}

Trivia

• Juvenile Zandrias uses pitch-shifted Bemstar's roars along with a modified Jirahs' roar. Mother Zandrias has a shortened Jirahs' roar. At some points, the juvenile Zandrias emits a modified (almost electronic) Magular's roar. The juvenile Zandrias also emits electronically altered and sped up Ghostron's and Gokinezura's roars.
• Zandrias' name is based off of Zandria, the name of a restaurant that the scriptwriter stopped at whilst writing the script for Zandrias' episode.
• An Ultraman Connection article makes connections of the Parent Zandrias and the Child Zandrias to Emi and Gigantron.

Ultraman Geed

A juvenile Zandrias reappeared in episode 10 of Ultraman Geed, making its first appearance in 37 years. The male Zandrias was first seen wandering through the forest and a specialist, an Alien Zobetai named Satoko was hired by the AIB to make contact with him, but he was too far away for her to reach him. Afterwards, Zandrias encased himself in a crystal which then buried itself a hundred meters from its position underground.

Zandrias later reappeared in a valley, and Satoko arrived on the scene with Moa Aizaki to try and contact him again. Irritated by Satoko's attempts, Zandrias went on a rampage. Using gusts of wind from his wings, Zandrias sent Satoko and Aizaki flying until they were saved by Riku Asakura, who transformed into Ultraman Geed, giving away his true identity to them in the process. Geed then decided to fight the kaiju, but the latter proved to be a very mischievous opponent, preferring to play around with his opponents and moving around the battlefield very fast.

When Zandrias tried to fly away, Geed transformed into his Acro Smasher form and chased after him in the sky, but he crashed into the ground after he was blinded by a dust cloud. Geed then tried his Smash Moon Healing on Zandrias, but it didn't even affect the kaiju, who then knocked the Ultra down and proceeded to roughhouse him, making his color timer begin to blink, until Ultraman Zero showed up and kicked him off of Geed.

With Zandrias dazed, Satoko finally managed to contact the Kaiju. Her powers revealed that Zandrias was acting up because he couldn't go back to space and was feeling lonely. Moa persuaded the Ultras to calm him down and not hurt him. They agreed, then stopped him from charging at them and gently pushed him down. As a result, Zandrias started to cry, which was ear shattering to even the Ultras. Zandrias began to think about his childhood friend, a female Zandrias that he had feelings for, and was worried that she didn't like him.

After Zero told Zandrias to get over it, the Kaiju attacked him with his eye beams, which he dodged. Moa then gave an inspiring speech towards the kaiju, and Zero transformed into his Beyond Form. Zandrias tried to use his fire breath on Zero, but Zero deflected it with his Quattro Sluggers. As the weapons reached Zero, they formed a rudimentary megaphone which Zero then used to create a blast of wind that carried Zandrias into the atmosphere on a piece of rock, allowing the Kaiju to go home.

While exiting Earth's atmosphere and flying into space, Zandrias met his childhood friend after she emerged from a crystal. The two of them were very happy to see each other again, and they came towards each other and kissed, making both of them very happy. ^{I Read Minds}

Trivia

• Suit actress: Hitomi Adachi
  • The female Zandrias is the normal suit with blue eyelashes placed above the eyes.
• His inclusion was a prompt decision after the recent recreation of Zandrias' suit used for live events, as seen in the gallery.
  • Mother Zandrias was to appear as well in place of the female child, but was decided against due to difficulty in making the suit.
• For some reason, his roar sound is a reused Mother Zandrias' roar sound.
• The way Zandrias was removed from Earth was not actually in episode 10's script. Originally, Zero Beyond would have used Victory's power to summon copies of his EX Red King Knuckle and presumably use them to punch the monster back into orbit.

Ultraman Taiga

According to Alien Rivers Kawazu, Zandrias were overhunted and on the brink of extinction. Kawazu tried to return a Baby Zandrias back to its mother, but they were met by opposition from the Villain Guild.

Despite escaping from an Alien Ckalutch and Cicada Human, an Alien Magma managed to take off with the baby and teleported to a nearby building. The alien used its cries to attract the attention of the Young Mother Zandrias who proceeded to fight Zegun, the monster Magma summoned for an auction. The mother tried desperately to fight Zegun, but was overpowered by the kaiju, and things got worse when Hellberus arrived and took Zegun's place by killing it with one stab. Hellberus brutally overpowered the mother as she was trying to protect her baby until Hiroyuki Kudo transformed into Ultraman Taiga for the first time, returned the baby to her mother and, after a long match, defeated Hellberus.

After mother and child were reunited, Kawazu flew them back to their home planet via his spaceship's tractor beam. ^{Buddy Go!}

Trivia

• Suit actress: Hitomi Adachi
• Young Mother Zandrias uses the child Zandrias suit from Geed.

Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy

Zandrias and Noiseler had suddenly appeared outside of Ayaka City. Ultrawoman Grigio arrived to protect her hometown while her brothers were away to deal with the Devil Splinters. After struggling slightly, Grigio fought well against the two Kaiju, with her firing her Grigio Shot at them, causing the two to flee in fear. ^{The Appearance}

Trivia

• In addition to the two monsters debuting from the same season, their team-up are also in-joke to their Kaiju Girls counterpart being part of a rock band.

Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

A Baby Zandrias named Kedamya appears in episode 7 of the series, acting as the parrot of Alien Barossa IV. As Barossa IV, like Barossa I, was incapable of speaking human languages, he enlisted Kedamya's assistance as an interpreter, having the small monster sit atop his shoulder to translate for him. Kedamya at least helped its partner in stealing Haruki's Ultra Medals during their trip in a dimensional portal created by Bullton. After Barossa IV's defeat, Kedamya flew away, but not before defecating on Ignis' forehead. ^{Inter Universe}

Trivia

• Voice actress: Kaede Yuasa
• Kedamya is the first instance of a Zandrias having the ability to speak normal sentences.

Ultraman Decker Finale: Journey to Beyond

Both Baby Zandrias and its mother were native monster species on Planet Lavie. In a flashback, Dinas was seen holding the baby, and they greeted Mother Zandrias as the Lavians lived in harmony with animals and monsters. One day, a mad alien scientist named Gibellus set an experiment on Planet Lavie by sending Alien Magma, Godola, and Bado to invade the planet.

Dinas and the Baby Zandrias couldn’t do anything other than watch Mother Zandrias getting violently beaten by the aliens. The baby’s fate is unknown after Dinas gained the power to become Ultraman Dinas, but it may be still alive somewhere. ^{Ultraman Decker Finale: Journey to Beyond}

Ultraman Arc

Dori as a baby, shortly after being summoned by the Red Sphere.

A Zandrias named Dori appears in Ultraman Arc as a manifestation of the Red Sphere's wish-granting powers.

When the Red Sphere was given a wish to grant by Aoi Shiba, an aspiring science fiction writer who wanted to see her plans for a novel named The Dream Bird made into a reality, the Red Sphere interpreted the notes she had written, and turned itself into a baby Zandrias, which would tell Aoi ideas that she used to create a complete draft for the story. With Dori's help, the draft was received favourably by a publishing house, much to Aoi's joy.

Even though Dori was just a manifestation of the Red Sphere, he continued to grow as if he were a real member of Zandrias's species, and quickly grew into a juvenile, making him almost impossible to keep hidden from Aoi's manager and co-workers. Eventually, Dori decided to show himself in front of the staff, terrifying them. The staff called SKIP's Kaiju Hotline to make a report, and the team arrived to take Zandrias into custody.

Dori and Aoi.

As Aoi argued with Rin about Dori being her friend, a GDF taskforce arrived on the scene. Despite Rin's protests, the taskforce opened fire on both Aoi and Dori, who stepped in front of her and took the shots directly to his body. Mortally wounded, he reverted to his infant state, and seemingly died, turning back into the Red Sphere.

Dori later very briefly reappeared when the Red Sphere urged Aoi to give it its own wish, and allow it to end its 'journey' and cease to exist, before vanishing for a final time along with the Sphere. However, even though the Red Sphere was seemingly no more, the memories Aoi had made with it remained, as she could still hear Dori's calls from time to time. ^{The Dream Bird}

Trivia

• This series marks the second time an individual Zandrias has been named Dori, with the first being Nix Kanaya's monster companion Dori-chan in Another Gene.
• The cries that Dori makes, "Cock-A-Dori-Doo", is meant to mirror a rooster's wake-up call, "Cock-A-Doodle-Doo", as if to tell Aoi to wake up from the false dream granted by the Red Sphere.

In episode 238, Dance Master (Dasonu Maso in Japan) held an intergalactic competition. In the first round, a quiz was held, with one of the questions being whether Zandrias is weakened by cold temperatures or not. However, this was a trick question; as it has never been established whether Zandrias is weakened by the cold, anyone who answered was banished.
