Eleking (エレキング, Erekingu) is an electric-eel-like Kaiju that first appeared on the tokusatsu TV series Ultraseven. Eleking has been one of the most iconic monsters in the Ultraman Series and has gone on to win the Japanese Best Monster Award for the Ultraseven series, being called the most impressive of Ultraseven's enemy Kaiju and aliens (alongside Alien Metron). As a result of Eleking's vast popularity, members of his species have appeared throughout the series, and have appeared in many of the franchise's various continuities.

History

Ultraseven

Eleking was a monster born and raised by two twin sisters, who let him loose on the earth after stealing Dan's Ultra Eye, which prevented him from assuming his Ultraseven form. Once the twin sisters, known as the Alien Pitts, arrived on Earth they donned the guises of human girls. When one of them was observing the lake she was caught by two members of the UG and a fisherman. As she tried to escape them she released tadpole Eleking into the water, allowing the other Alien Pitt to summon him when the time was needed.

With Ultraseven nowhere in sight, Eleking was free to wreak havoc. Luckily, Dan released Miclas, one of his Capsule Monsters, to fight and hopefully distract Eleking while he chased after the sisters to retrieve his Ultra Eye. The two monsters battled fiercely in the lake and soon brought the battle to land. Miclas, however, was eventually defeated by Eleking's long, whip tail, as well as his electric shock powers. After Miclas failed to defeat Eleking, all seemed lost until Dan finally managed to retrieve the Eye by chasing the sisters to their hideout, a large spaceship, from which they controlled Eleking.

Dan quickly transformed into Ultraseven, and attacked Eleking. In the midst of the battle, Eleking tried to subdue Seven by ensnaring him in his tail and shocking him, but Seven was resilient enough to withstand the incredible amounts of electricity coursing through his body, and broke free of Eleking's grip. He then proceeded to destroy Eleking's two horns with his Emerium Beam before sending the Eye Slugger his way, instantly decapitating Eleking and slicing off his tail. As purplish-red blood gushed from the monster's severed neck, a small explosion took place, signaling that Eleking was no more. ^{The Secret of the Lake}

Trivia

• Eleking was seen in stock footage of Seven's past battles in episode 48.
• Eleking was seen in stock footage in Ultraman 80 episodes 45 and 47.
• Eleking uses sped up Ebirah's shrieks.
• Eleking was originally intended to be (and painted as being) black and white. However due to the suit constantly being partially submerged or otherwise in contact with water for most of its scenes, the white elements of the suit gradually turned pale yellow as a result of staining from exposure to compounds in the water, giving it its signature color.^[1]
• A magazine released at the time of release stated that Eleking's race is a herbivorous freshwater fish species indigenous to Planet Pitt. They are usually a docile species that eat plants and microorganisms in the water. The one in Seven, however, was strangely violent, making it the choice to use in the Alien Pitt's invasion.
• According to Kohji Moritsugu, Eleking is one of his favorite Kaiju, due to its debut episode was the first one to be recorded in the entire series. His other two favorite Ultra Kaiju were Alien Metron and King Joe.
• In April 2020, a copy of Pokémon Blue's source code was leaked onto the internet. One of the files contained was a list of index names for the default cries. Cry number 38 (used by Ponyta, Rapidash, Porygon, Weepinbell, and Victreebel) was given the name "eleking". Playing the cry reveals it to be a recreation of Eleking's roar.

Ultraman Taro

Eleking reappeared in the series Ultraman Taro, this time as Revived Eleking (再生エレキング, Saisei Erekingu, shortened to Re-Eleking). This incarnation is sometimes referred to as Eleking II.

On a cold, lonely night, a full moon hung in the sky. But soon Eleking, supposedly killed in its battle with Ultraseven 6 years ago, was aroused from the underground. The Kaiju attacked nearby villages, and left much destruction in his path and was then attacked by ZAT. He was seemingly defeated, but he beat a hasty retreat when the sun began to rise. Some time later, another full moon appeared, as well as the creature, who was now revealed to be Re-Eleking revived by the light of the moon. But his attack was soon halted by ZAT, as well as some village children, who were able to get a rope around Re-Eleking's left horn. This only angered the monster, as it let loose with more flames. Soon, Kotaro Higashi decides to attack Re-Eleking with his armored vehicle. The attack is short lived, however, as Re-Eleking jumps onto it. Kotaro used his Ultra Badge to turn into Ultraman Taro just in time. Taro then deals Re-Eleking a mighty beating. Re-Eleking managed to get the best of Taro using his flames, but Taro persevered. Then, Taro used his powers to turn the rope on Re-Eleking II's horn into a chain. Grappling for a bit, he pulled the chains, until he ripped off Re-Eleking horns Re-Eleking collapsed to the ground dying, his body began to release a bubbling foam before finally exploding. ^{Monster Eleking Barks at the Full Moon!}

Trivia

• In the initial plans for the episode, which was to be titled The Touch of the Full Moon on the Mammoth's Fang! (マンモスの牙が満月に吼えた！, Manmosu no Kiba ga Mangetsu ni Hoeta!), a new Kaiju named Giant Fang Monster (巨大牙怪獣, Kyodai Kiba Kaijū): Gokiba (ゴキバ) was to be introduced and revive a group of fallen monsters that did not include Eleking. However, after some developments, the initial idea was dropped and Eleking was reintroduced. The only remnants of this idea is the teeth design of the Eleking being what Gokiba's would have been.
• In this series, Re-Eleking can emit a deadly stream of flames from his mouth and the end of his tail. Some magazines claim that Re-Eleking retains its electricity power and adding it to its flames, making them stronger.
• Unlike his original form, Re-Eleking's horns do not rotate, but instead small lights flash on and off on the white parts of his horns.
• It is unknown why or how the moon revives Eleking, but in a children's magazine, Eleking is said to be revived by an unknown evil force who wanted to resurrect an army of monsters. Upon Re-Eleking's defeat, the unnamed villain expresses his regret for not reviving King Joe instead.
• Despite technically being the revived original, Re-Eleking is referred to as the second generation. In episode 9 of Ultraman Mebius, Teppei of Crew GUYS believe that Re-Eleking is a different individual instead of the revived first generation.
• Re-Eleking's roar is a reused Takkong's roar mixed with some Daigoro's cries.
• Whereas Re-Eleking rises from the ground, the first Eleking arose from the lake.
• A regular Eleking can be seen in an animated flashback as part of the Monster Army lead by Alien Empera in episode 25.

Ultraman Story

In the movie, Eleking was revived by Alien Mefilas and became Re-Eleking. Father of Ultra sent Taro to stop the beast. Taro struggled until he figured out the weakness of Eleking are its horns. The battles of Re-Eleking relied on stock footage of the Re-Eleking in Ultraman Taro. The spirit of Eleking along with Red King, Gomora, Alien Baltan, Alien Hipporit, and Alien Mefilas combined into Grand King by Juda. ^{Ultraman Story}

Heisei Ultraseven

This monster reappeared in the series Heisei Ultraseven - Operation: Solar Energy as Eleking III (エレキング三代目, Erekingu Sandaime).

Years ago, the people of planet Pitt tried to conquer Earth with a powerful monster known as Eleking. Their plan was foiled by Ultraseven but years later, the aliens returned with a new more powerful Eleking armed with carbon dioxide-based attacks. The creature began to kill campers and destroy parts of the forest but the UG fought back as they managed to blow off one of Eleking's horns. It didn't take long for Alien Pitts to repair their pet and send it on it's next mission, to destroy an experimental solar energy system. Moving to stop them, Ultraseven, who just woken up from a coma, risen up from the facility, which was earlier destroyed by Alien Pitt; recharging his powers through the sun and battled with the beast at the institute where the system was built. In the battle, Eleking eventually gained the upper hand by using his tail to ensnare Seven. As all seemed lost for Ultraseven, the Ultra Guard, alongside the spouse of a former Ultra Guard member, used a new solar system as a weapon to drain Eleking's energy, finally able to break free, Ultraseven used his Eye Slugger to cut off Eleking's tail before destroying it with the Emerium Beam.

Trivia

• Like the Eleking seen in Taro, this incarnation abandons the electricty-theme of the original, this time in favor of pollutants. It is however, shown using electric-based attacks during its battle with Seven.
• This Eleking uses modified versions of his original roar.
• This Eleking suit was reused from a commercial of Ultraseven's Super Famicon game commercial.
• The original Eleking appeared in the TDF Monster data files before being deleted by a disguised Alien Pitt, who had tresspassed the residence of former Ultra Guard member Anne Yuri.
• Despite not appearing in the next episode, the silhouette of Eleking still appeared in the opening credits.

Ultraman Max

A variant of Eleking with the subtitle of Discharge Dragon (放電竜, Hōden Ryū)^[1] appeared in Ultraman Max episodes 2 and 27.

Eleking seemed to appear out of nowhere in the middle of Tokyo, specifically in Area JT442, absorbing the city's electricity causing the city to black out. DASH soon arrived, and quickly found the monster feeding. But before they could launch an attack, Eleking seemed to disappear into nothing. In actuality Eleking shrunk down to the size of a small dog and was in the care of a lonely woman who is being manipulated by an unseen force. While in it's pen, Eleking laid an egg.

When Eleking revealed itself again, DASH used a special device that made sort of a dome around the area where Eleking was, thus allowing them to keep him in one spot keeping the beast from moving through any more parts of Tokyo. However, Eleking was able to pass through the dome when the woman carried him out in her purse. Eleking was finally confronted by Ultraman Max during its third raid and was ultimately destroyed by the Ultra Warrior. The egg that Eleking had previously laid disappeared from the woman's home afterwards. ^{The Girl Who Keeps a Monster}

The larval Eleking would breed many more, but it was not until months later when a man was discovered in a coma and a dead Eleking larva was found with him. DASH quickly analyzed the signal the dead alien creature was emitting and began to search for more of them. One was found by Mizuki and Kaito, but Mizuki was soon knocked into a coma after looking at the larval Eleking. Kaito was soon met with the Eleking creators, Alien Pitts. The Pitts easily beaten Kaito down and took off with the Max Spark. After Mizuki was sent to the medical bay she became furious and went off with DASH Alpha with the apparently dead Eleking larva that was actually still alive. When Kaito caught up to Mizuki a second full grown Eleking made itself known and DASH went after it. Kaito plucked the Eleking larva off Mizuki and was getting shocked by the little creature's surge. Mizuki called for DASH Bird 3 while Kaito fought the larval Eleking and soon threw him off. All the larval Elekings across the city were soon converted into energy by the Alien Pitts and sent back to their ship. The larval Elekings were destroyed along with the Alien Pitt ship. ^{The Taken Max Spark}

Trivia

• This version of Eleking has cream-colored skin, which served as a homage to the original suit's coloration before it turned into the iconic yellow.
• In episode 27, Dash Bird shot one of Eleking's horns making it fall off but it appears later when Kaito transforms into Ultraman Max and in another scene when Max is punching Eleking, the horn is not there anymore.
• Unlike older versions of Eleking, this Eleking uses Kamacuras roars.
• This version of Eleking is the only one to include claws.

Ultraman Mebius

The data of the first Eleking that Ultraseven fought before was saved into the Ultra Guard's document in Crew GUYS Japan's database. Its combat data was among those implemented into the Maquette Miclas alongside those of Neronga and Eledortus to upgrade it into Eleki-Miclas. If Konomi's words were to be true, Eleking was one of the many Proto Maquette Monsters manufactured by the GUYS main headquarters for evaluation to Adjutant Toriyama, but the chance to use it (and most of the Proto Maquette Monsters) hit a dead end after the Zetton copy went rampant inside the Phoenix Nest's systems. ^{Champion of the Fierce Fight}

A small version of Eleking appeared in Ultraman Mebius as Lim Eleking, with "Lim" standing for "Limited," as Lim Eleking can only be active for 1 minute like all other Maquette Monsters. Each Lim Eleking is different, meaning that it is instantly re-spawning, but as different entities.

Created by the particle accelerator that created Maquette Monsters malfunctioning beneath the base of GUYS, Lim Eleking was an offshoot mutation of nanomachines with data on the original Eleking from Ultraseven's time based on trauma the original Miclas experienced. Lim Eleking's first appearance made most of the members of GUYS nervous except Konomi. The miniature monster reappeared later that day as GUYS was eating lunch Lim Eleking was absorbing electricity from an electrical socket. George tried to pull it out only to get severely stunned. After the destruction of Bogarl it was decided that Lim Eleking would be GUYS' mascot and has popped up in different places through out the rest of Ultraman Mebius' time.

Trivia

• Lim Eleking's chirping one time is actually the same sound of a bird and Dino Brace in Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, screeching like the original Eleking and squeaks like a mouse.
• The Lim Eleking prop is no longer in use and is currently on display in Kohji Moritsugu's (the actor who played Ultraseven's human form Dan Moroboshi) restaurant in Kanagawa.
  • The original prop, or a recreation of it, was used in Ultraman Taiga.

DX Ultra Cockpit: The Legendary Monsters Return! The birth of a Space King, Ark Bogarl!

An Eleking was part of Ark Bogarl's minions on terrorizing the Earth. Stationing at a lake, Eleking first fought against Crew GUYS members Ryu and the new recruit (player) in Ultra Hawk 1. When Seven summoned Miclas, Eleking defeated it with its Electric Tail. Seven then reappeared and defeated the monster with his Eye Slugger.

Trivia

• In DX Ultra Cockpit, Eleking's scenes were mostly reused from Ultraseven, but the scene where players get to aim at the monster was portrayed by an attraction suit.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle and NEO

Main article: Rei's Eleking

An Eleking appears in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey and the Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey sequel as one of the semi-recurring Kaiju. Originally started as a rogue Kaiju that almost threatening the safety of Planet Boris, it was accepted into Rei's collection of Battlenizer monsters to fight against the incoming threat on Boris. Eleking would later participate in the Reionics Battle and lost its life to Grande's Tyrant, but manages to spare its master from a similar fate by severing their bond at the last minute.

Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie

Eleking was one of Ultraman Belial's 100 Monster Army. He was first seen as a spirit in a shot of the Monster Graveyard with Gomess and Alien Reflect. He was then seen rising out of the ground along with Red King, Hoe, Banpira, King Guesra, Gudon, and Tyrant and then being re-captured by Ultraman Belial. He teams up with Banpira, Gan-Q, Pandon, Nova, Alien Metron, Alien Guts, King Joe Black, Verokron, Fire Golza, and Doragory to take on Ultraseven. Eleking was killed by Ultraseven's Emerium Beam. ^{Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie}

Trivia

• Oddly enough, when Rei's Gomora went berserk and Belial ordered the remnants of his 100 Monster Army to retreat, Eleking's screeching could still be heard several times amidst the background of multiple monster noises despite Eleking being eliminated early in battle.

• Eleking is one of the monsters that makes up Belyudra's second support group in the movie.
• From this point on, all Elekings that were portrayed as bad were slightly 'hunched' over.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure

50 years after the destruction of Planet Hammer, an EX Eleking was a Battlenizer monster under Alien Zarab's ownership, fighting against Alien Metron's EX Red King on Planet Boris. By the time Io Mikura and Pigmon returned from their time travel trip, EX Eleking was defeated by Vittorio's EX Gomora, followed by EX Red King.

In Mega Monster Battle: ULTRA MONSTERS, EX Eleking's role remains the same, but the protagonist fought against it while EX Red King would be preoccupied with EX Gomora. Additionally before this, a normal Eleking joined Neronga as Ghighi's monsters on Planet Aval.

Ultraman Ginga

Eleking participated in the Dark Spark War fighting alongside various monsters against Ultras until he was turned into a Spark Doll by Dark Lugiel. He along with many other monsters were seen cheering Ultraman Ginga on as he fought Dark Galberos. ^{The Closed World}

It is likely that he returned to space in his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel in the final episode.

New Ultraman Retsuden

Eleking reappeared in New Ultraman Retsuden at the beginning of episode 12.

Eleking first appeared immediately confronting Ultraman Ginga. Eleking managed to get it's tail around Ginga's arms and waist but the tables were turned when Ginga used Ginga Thunderbolt. Eleking was defeated and turned back into a Spark Doll.

Trivia

• Eleking appearing in the episode may be a reference to how a Eleking defeated by Ultraseven and "supernaturally" revived in Ultraman Taro's time, since the episode talked about the spirits of the monsters.

Ultraman Ginga S

Eleking reappeared in episode 2 of Ultraman Ginga S.

Originally part of Alien Chibull Exceller's collection, Eleking's Spark Doll was given to Android One Zero where she "MonsLived" into him and traveled underground in search of Victorium crystals at night, knocking out the electricity of many generators on the way.

The next day, Eleking was used as a mode of transportation for Android One Zero and then was sent into a rampage throughout the city after the user was shot by Arisa. After distracting her with EX Red King's Spark Doll via Victory Lancer, Sho transformed into Ultraman Victory to fight her. Both put up a great fight, until Eleking shocked him with his tail and blasted him with his electric discs. Hikaru Raido then transformed into Ultraman Ginga to help Sho. After Ginga scored several hits with his Ginga Spark Lance, Victory defeated Eleking with a Victory Kick, four Victorium Slashes, four punches of his EX Red King Knuckle, and finally with his signature move, the Victorium Shoot. Sho then gained Eleking's Spark Doll. ^{Ginga VS Victory}

He reappeared again in episode 8 as the second monster Ultlived by Hikaru to fight Five King, who at the moment was "MonsLived" by Alien Chibull Exceller. Eleking tried to shock his opponent, but it used its Gan-Q hand to absorb the electricity and send it right back at him, defeating him. ^{Fight to the Death in the Morning Glow}

Ultraman X

An Eleking Spark Doll was the first and only Spark Doll in Xio's possession prior to the arrival of Ultraman X. ^{When the Aegis Shines} The doll's data was used to create the artificial monster Cyber Eleking (サイバーエレキング, Saiba Erekingu). This Cyber Kaiju is the center of Rui's attention, finding its appearance "cute".

Cyber Eleking was created by Xio using the data of an Eleking Spark Doll. While the Research and Development lab team failed to materialize Cyber Gomora, Rui Takada proposed Cyber Eleking to be used instead causing her and Daichi to argue over their favorite Kaiju. ^{A Voice From the Starry Sky}

Soon, Rui modified Cyber Eleking to arm X with, forming the Eleking Armor. ^{A Song That Calls the Night}

Eleking's Spark Doll is usually seen in a small, man-made environment in Xio similar to it's natural habitat to make them more emotionally stable. ^{Feature Report! 24 Hours Inside Xio}

In the final episode, after Greeza destroyed the Xio base, Eleking's Spark Doll was absorbed by Greeza and the alien copied Eleking's Electricity Whip as a result. After speaking out to Gomora and striking Greeza right in the center of his chest, Eleking, along with all of the other Spark Dolls, traveled to X and united with him. Cyber Eleking's power and shoulder pads were used to help form the Hybrid Armor and power up the Ultimate Xanadium to defeat Greeza once and for all. Eleking, along with the numerous other Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls, then appeared and thanked Daichi as he thanked them. ^{The Rainbow Land}

Trivia

• It was revealed that the Eleking Armor's head was purposely made to be placed on the left shoulder, as Rui wanted the armor to be "cuter". Even X favors the armor more than the Gomora Armor.
• In an early draft, it was revealed that Cyber Eleking and Cyber Bemstar were supposed to have their own suit as well like Cyber Gomora, allowing Xio members in the field to utilize their respective Cyber Monsters and assist X in the battle.
• Cyber Eleking's gunmetal hide is part of its aerodynamic design.

Ultraman X The Movie: Here He Comes! Our Ultraman

Eleking's Cyber Card was also used in the movie, where its power created an electrical energy field in which to prevent Zaigorg from rampaging towards the Carlos Industries using the two satellites on top of the building, but Zaigorg summoned his minions, Gorg Antlar and Gorg Fire Golza and they destroyed the satellites with their signature beams, freeing their master in the process. ^{Ultraman X The Movie: Here He Comes! Our Ultraman}

Ultraman Orb

Eleking reappeared in episode six of the series Ultraman Orb as a Kaiju Card used by Jugglus Juggler in a card game with Alien Nackle Nagus and Alien Metron Tarude.

Ultraman Geed

Eleking

Eleking reappeared in episode 4 of Ultraman Geed where he emerged from a river and began to wreck mayhem throughout Hanmura as it went after it's own master, Alien Pitt Tri-Tip is in possession of a Little Star. In response, Riku Asakura transformed into Ultraman Geed to stop him. The two giants were evenly matched In combat as they started their fight. When the Kaiju unleashed his Light Blades at the Ultra, Geed dodged and blocked the attack at first as well as counterattacking with his own version of the attack and then blocked the attacks with his Geed Barrier as he charged at him, then put Eleking in a sleeper hold. Eleking then shook him off and then attacked Geed with his Electric Tail, resulting in the Ultra getting paralyzed for several seconds.

With his opponent seemingly defeated, Eleking resumed going after Tri-Tip. Moa tried to stop it with a weird plant owned by an Alien Hook that puts people to sleep, but it only changed Eleking's behavior and put Moa to sleep. Geed then got back up and transformed into his Solid Burning form and turned the tide of the fight in his favor by hitting the Kaiju with his Geed Slugger four times then with an Emerium Beam that hit his torso all the way to his head. Eleking was then destroyed by Geed's Boost Slugger Punch, which resulted in what's left of him to be contained by Kei Fukuide inside a Kaiju Capsule as well as the former Alien Pitt owner's Little Star to be converted into the Hikari Capsule for Geed to use later on. ^{A Job Where You Investigate Aliens}

Trivia

• The way Eleking is defeated in Geed is quite similar to the way Seven defeated him in his original appearance. The order of attack is different between the two but the order is:
  • The Ultra's respective Slugger cutting through Eleking (Seven performed this second)
  • An Emerium Beam-like attack that hits Eleking's antenna. (Seven performed this first)
  • A final cut to Eleking's head followed by an explosion.

Thunder Killer

Eleking's Kaiju Capsule is used by Kei Fukuide as a component of Thunder Killer.

Ultraman Taiga

Acquired through unknown means, a Lim Eleking was one of Alien Chibull Mabuze's test subjects in his experiments to create the ultimate creature. ^{I Can't Hear Your Voice}

Sevenger Fight

Eleking appeared in episode 3 of Sevenger Fight. It was unleashed after its Alien Pitt masters' apprehension.

Haruki in Sevenger confronts him, armed with an oversized Howa Type 89 rifle created by Kojiro Inaba. Sevenger tries to shoot Eleking with the gun, but it jams, and he's forced to drop it and fight Eleking hand-to-hand as the eel monster begins lobbing rocks at him. Eventually, Eleking spots the gun on the floor, and picks it up. Taking aim at Sevenger, Eleking fired a single shot. As Haruki realised that Eleking knew how to use the gun, he began running away while Eleking gave chase. As the monster and machine both ran around in circles, both grew tired, with Sevenger weakened further by the exertion of throwing more rocks. Eleking prepared to fire another shot, but the gun jammed again. When he looked down the barrel, the rifle discharged, shooting Eleking in the head and killing him instantly. Sevenger made his way over to the fallen monster, checked its pulse, and confirmed that Eleking was no more. ^{I'll Paint That Bullet With Your Blood}

A second Eleking appears in episode 7, set several years after Ultraman Z. On another planet, Eleking was relaxing in a barren area, when all of a sudden, a Gazort tripped over him, then punched Eleking in the face unprovoked. The two monsters immediately began fighting. Eventually, Sevenger arrived with Yoko Nakashima as the pilot, having observed the battle from afar, and decided to intervene, but the monsters simply forced the machine out of the way before resuming the fight. Sevenger attempted to intervene twice more, but after these attempts also failed, drew a sword to defend against Gazort and Eleking. After taking Gazort out with a slash across its abdomen, Eleking was brought down after Sevenger vertically sliced the alien monster in the head with the weapon. However, as Sevenger attempted a victory pose, Reconstructed Pandon abruptly arrived and knocked the robot to the ground. ^{The Lawless Monster Planet}

Trivia

• Eleking's use of Sevenger's gun, as well as his death after being shot by it in episode 3 of Sevenger Fight is a reference to his appearance in episode 194 of Ultra Fight, where he shot Keylla to death with an M16 rifle of a similar model to the one used by Sevenger, then died after he shot himself in the neck with it.

Ultraman Decker

An Eleking named Elly (エリー, Erī) was a pet to the Alien Pitt named Yuko, who got stranded on Earth because of the Sphere Barrier covering it. For an entire year, Yuko worked part time to make ends meet while taking care of Elly's well being by feeding it batteries. Possibly due to a combination of its overfeeding and the changes in the Earth's environment, Elly grew rapidly from its juvenile eel-like state to the size of a human adult, forcing Yuko to relocate the monster to the town's lake.

While Yuko did her regular visits, Eleking would sneak out to feed on electricity on its own until it grew giant and feed on nearby substation. Elly's attack caught the attention of GUTS-Select, and together with Ichika Kirino's help, Yuko fed the monster with the TPU's emergency power supply. Unfortunately as Sawa Kaizaki predicted, Elly became violent and marched to the city. Ultraman Decker stopped the monster midway, but was quickly disoriented with voltages of electricity and barely escaped with Miclas' help. Using Miracle Type's power, Decker absorbed the excess electricity from Elly and reverted the monster to its eel-like juvenile form. Yuko gets to keep Elly under her care once again, this time with Sawa guiding her into feeding the monster to prevent it from growing into a giant again. ^{Glutton of the Lake}

Trivia

• As is the case with Ultraman Geed, the eel-like form of the Discharge Dragon variant from Ultraman Max is used to portray Elly's juvenile state. The series also adds Lim Eleking from Ultraman Mebius and a human-sized Eleking from Heisei Ultraseven to Elly's growth cycle.
• Elly shares her name with Elly, DASH's android operator from Ultraman Max.
• This Eleking was given a newly created suit which resembled its first appearance.

Ultraman Blazar

Alien Bado and his aides, Alien Ghose and Alien Pitt, appeared before Earth with the intent to invade the planet. After examining the SKaRD and Ultraman Blazar's battles, a simulated match was held on Ghose's suggestion between their kaiju weapons, Eleking and Pandon, and Blazar, whose form was replicated based on the battle data that they had collected. However, the kaiju were overwhelmed by Blazar's brute strength and were taken down in just a few hits, forcing a retreat from Bado out of fear for their lives. ^{Earth Invasion Plan}

Ultraman: Rising

Although Eleking does not appear in person, his biological data is stored in the KDF database, suggesting that he was defeated by the KDF in a previous battle.^{Ultraman: Rising}

Ultraman Arc

Eleking appears as a guest kaiju in the series. During the K-DAY incident 16 years ago, it emerged from a lake near Guilin, China. ^{The Wandering Future} A picture of Eleking can be seen on the wall of Yuma's work area at the SKIP Hoshimoto Branch.
