Godzilla vs. Gigan

The M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens first appeared in Godzilla vs. Gigan, where they were stationed on Earth to conquer it with King Ghidorah and Gigan. They set up the World Children's Land, and wore the skin of two recently deceased men. Their plan was uncovered, and they sent Gigan and King Ghidorah to attack Tokyo. Godzilla and Anguirus arrived and fought them, but the aliens fought back the the Godzilla Tower. The humans managed to destroy the tower with dynamite, causing the aliens to turn back into their true form and die.

Trivia

• According to Chris Mowry in an interview conducted by Toho Kingdom, the Nebulans appeared in some of the mini-series pitches he used to build the story for Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, but they were replaced by the Cryogs since IDW was unable to use any human or alien characters from the Toho films. Likewise, the Seatopians were replaced with the Devonians.^[1]
