DAGGRA

The Daggra are a vaguely humanoid species which had developed a space faring civilisation as of 2002. They are vaguely reminiscent of the classic E.T. the extraterrestrial, but larger. They possess telepathic powers,  a large flat head with a pair of large eyes, a long neck, long and thin arms with 3 digits. On other worlds, they protect their fragile body inside power armours.

In 2002, a daggra spacecraft crashed  into Mount Ibuski, Japan and was captured and contained in the National Institute of Space Science, but not before it had managed to send a creature relayed a distress call to its Mothership. Whether accidentally or intentionally, the creature was killed an gesture that sparked a war between the Daggra and humanity in which humanity was nrealy wiped. Survivors hiding in Tibet managed to build a machine called the Time Shifter, which they used to return to the past and prevent the war from starting by rescuing the alien and returning it to the Daggra, therefore erasing the whole war timeline.

KILAAKS KILAAKIANS / キラアク星人? / KIRAAKU SEIJIN / KILAAK PLANET PEOPLE

Planet of Origin: Kilaak (position unknown - the Kilaaks claim it is between MArs and Jupiter, but show no evidence on the matter)

The Kilaakians are a species of small metallic worm-like creatures with a space faring and mind control technologies who live in high temperature environments.

They  travelled to Earth circa 1999, establishing a base on the moon and posing as  a race of female humanoids from the planet Kilaak, which they said was between Mars and Jupiter. The aliens invaded the monster reserve known as Monster Island and assumed control of the giant monsters and resident scientists, soon sending them to attack several major cities across the globe, such as NNew York, Moscow, Bejing, London and Paris.Their efforts were finally thwarted by the destruction of their Moon base.

MYSTERIANS / NATARLS / NATALS

The Mysterians (ミステリアン, Misuterian?) is a humanoid species that thousands of years ago lived on an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. They were far more scientifically advanced than the beings of Earth. When Earth entered the Neolithic Age, this alien race had discovered the atom bomb. Despite all this progress, their world was devastated by terrible weapons when war erupted among their people. The bodies of those who survived were mutated and contaminated with Strontium-90, causing roughly 80% of the new born population to be horribly disfiguredand following this catastrophe, the survivors moved to Mars. However, since that planet was such a wasteland, they had to find a new home that could fit all of their needs. They desired Earth...

Hiding on the dark side of the moon, these people planned their invasion for years. Finally, in the Earth year 1957, they found a place where they could begin their attack: Japan. The aliens arrived on Earth undetected, by transporting their UFOs from their mother ship and hiding underground in the Mt. Fuji area. They used a giant robotic machien called Moguera as the tool of their invasion but failed.

In 1965, a similar species calling itslef the Natarls attacked Earth with  a wide array of technology and and ingenuity in their attempt to overthrow the Earth by various means, including mind control, sabotage, anti-gravity rays, space-torpedoes, saucer attacks, and finally their huge Mothership.

The Natarls are eventually defeated through the cooperation of Earth's nations in developing new weapons, launching a fleet of advanced rocket ships, and a sneak-attack on the aliens moon base.
