History
Ultraman Neos Pilot
In the pilot episode of Ultraman Neos, an Alien Zamu appeared and rampaged on Earth, destroying everything on its way. Ultraman Neos appeared and attacked him with relative ease until his monster Drengeran appeared and assist his master by overpowered the Ultra. However with the fortunate arrival of Ultraseven 21, the battle became evened out. After Ultraseven 21 destroyed Alien Zamu, both Ultras double-teamed Drengeran and quickly managed to destroy him with Ultraseven 21's Adorium Beam and Ultraman Neos's Magnium Beam.

In this miniseries, the Zamus are portrayed as a race of aliens who were forced on an exile from their own planet from the plagues of Dark Matter, led by Mensch Heit and the monster Grall. They escaped to Earth for refuge and decided to research upon the same substance as a counteract to reclaim their planet. The Zamu leader offered himself to be the test subject and thus they erected a special tower to siphon the Dark Matter energies into him. The project however met with failure as their leader turned into berserk until Ultraman Neos interfered and killed the alien per his own orders as a safety measure. The Mysterious Dark Matter
Sometime later, the new leader sought vengeance upon the former's own demise (despite others made it clear that his death was by his own volition) and tried to sabotage a conference regarding the Dark Matter investigations. Her plans eventually foiled by the combined effort of Neos and Seven 21, the latter slipped into the human society as well to save the victim that Zamu had replaced. Revenge of Alien Zamu
With Grall approaching Earth, the remaining Zamu was forced to evacuate as said monster destroyed their entire vessel and the giant alien guarding it. Fortunately, all 10 billion DNA samples of Alien Zamu were archived and spirited by the young alien member named Esura, whose mission is to sacrifice his own life to resurrect his people. The arrival of Mensch Heit and him putting both Ultra Warriors at the edge forced Esura to abandon his mission by replenishing their lives instead. With the destroyer's life ended, DNA samples of Alien Zamu were entrusted to humanity as they began formulate a way to restore their race. The Assassin-Beast from Space Warriors of Light, Forever
Trivia
- Instead of modifying the original suit, each of individual Alien Zamu costumes were newly built.
- As revealed by Esura, his race normally lacks a specified name and only receives ones based on their jobs. His name for example, means reliance/hope.
- However as reliance is a trait and hope is an emotion, it is possible their names are derived from personality traits as well.
- Each of the appearing Zamu fulfills a corresponding role to the Baltans:
- Episode 2: This Zamu is based on the first Alien Baltan, explaining to the main characters that they are refugees from another planet and even rejecting the possibility to coexist with humanity.
- Episode 6: She is based on the Alien Baltan II from episode 16, both of which focusing on the theme of vengeance.
- Episode 11: The white Alien Zamu has the smallest screen time of all, whose role is visibly akin to the Grall's punching bag mirrors the Alien Baltan III from episode 33's short appearance is simply an illusion by Alien Mefilas and nothing more beyond that.
- Esura: Esura's closest equivalent is the Alien Baltan Junior from Return of Ultraman, both of which are portrayed as younger generations to the preceding aliens and even had names of their own.
