Generation I
""If I evolve wrong and bring something that would bother the people of this planet, I will count on you during that time, Ultraman Neos."
- ―Alien Zamu leader to Genki Kagura/Ultraman Neos
The Zamu, victims of the substance called Dark Matter, which creates monsters, fled to Earth. Seeking to evolve to combat the influence of Dark Matter on their world, the Zamu sent one of their towers into the city of Tokyo. Investigating it several members of HEART went in the explore. When the members didn't return Genki went after them only to find two Zamu and a girl in white to tell him to go along with them. Meeting the Zamu Leader, Genki learned of their plan to experiment on themselves to find a way to combat the Dark Matter influence on their world. Knowing that Genki hosted Ultraman Neos, the Zamu leader asked that he promised to destroy him if the experiment sent him beserk, in exchange the Zamu allowed him to leave with his unconscious friends. However the experiment failed and the leader Zamu increased into the size of a giant, rampaging in blind rage, he used his optic blasts to devastate the city around him. When Genki was hit the girl in white revealed to be herself to Ultraseven 21's human form and told him to turn into Neos after he experienced a flash back of him being saved by Neos, Seven 21, and Ultraman Zoffy and that he became the host of Neos. The hero and the invader clashed with Neos having the advantage. Before Neos could finish off Zamu with the Magnium Beam he teleported underground and grabbed the hero by his ankles. After Neos escaped his grip Zamu began to gain the upper hand until HEART arrived and distracted him long enough for the hero to jump into the air and use the Magnium Beam. After about ten seconds of his body violently erupting in sparks Zamu exploded. The remaining Zamu fled Earth in their ship, while being pursued by HEART, but the earthlings were stopped at the behest of Neos.

After their defeat the second in command of the Zamu species was obsessed with vengeance and tried to destroy the Earth by of infiltrating HEART and destroying them. While HEART was escorting an important scientist on Dark Matter, when a mysterious saucer followed them and began to attack. However, the two HEART Winners showed up just in time and chased the saucer away. After the scientist turned out to be Alien Zamu in disguise and took the Estreiler to prevent Genki from turning into Ultraman Neos, it summoned their weapon Zamu Revenger, the saucer spotted earlier. It revealed itself and turned into it's true form, a giant robot. Ultraseven 21 came to the scene, scolding the Zamu and explaining that Neos only followed the direction of their Leader, but the Zamu native was to obsessed with revenge to listen to reason . Seven 21 fought Zamu as the Estreilar flew from her possession to be used once again by Genki. Seven 21 managed to restrain Zamu only for her to break free and reveal that a command bracelet given to a the Scientist's friend, the UN liason to HEART, was the only way to stop Zamu Revenger.

Alien Zamu Esura
"I am not dying, in order to live in the future, I will use my ability!"
- ―Esura before his death.
Searching for clues, they rescued a boy named Esura from an alien probe taking him back to their base. Soon after Gurale returned and landed right outside of the HEART base. At first it seemed to be assaulting them when it was really after Alien Zamu. The man they had found was actually an Alien Zamu that held a container holding a billion samples of their DNA so they could have a chance at survival against, Menschheit. A sentient creation of Dark Matter energy who had conquered their planet and forced them to Earth. Now he wished to kill them of for no reason other than pride. Menschheit had contacted HEART by taking over the electronic equipment and told them to extradite the Alien Zamu or he would release Gurale on them. With Gurale arriving to their base the Self Defense Force wanted to bring the disguised alien to Menschheit, but HEART managed to lead him to safety. After Ultraman Neos went into comatose state after he defeated Gurale, he reverted back into Genki and was taken to a small hut. While Genki was on life support, Alien Zamu gave some of his energy to help him heal. The next day, soldiers from CIB, HEART's superior agency, sent soldiers to the hut where Genki and Alien Zamu were hiding, but after being persuaded by the members of HEART, they left the area. Menschheit appeared shortly, after failing to bully the HEART team he grew to his true form and was about to attack the Alien Zamu and HEART when Ultraseven 21 arrived. However as he soon trounced and the appearance of Neos did little to change the outcome of the battle, Alien Zamu gave the container to a HEART member and used all of his energy to restore the energy of the heroes, turning him into a wisp of purple energy. The two Ultras avenged his race by slaying the Dark Matter demon. At the end HEART vows they will use their power to resurrect the Alien Zamu race one day.
