He got too close to the sun. Nice dreams!

  • Alien Bado, with his Elephant Man head.
    • The (allegedly cute, bird-like) Guts aliens with their deep voices, ghostly appearance (at least inside their space vessels) in "Seven Assassination Scheme", and for that part, their plan (capture and execute Seven) and tactics (appear and disappear out of nowhere, accost Dan to make him transform and fight, wear Ultra Seven down, crucify him, execute him in front of the whole world) are disturbing to this day.
  • Then there's that gas-guzzling... thing from "Space Prisoner 303"... the feral Alien Icarus (pictured above) from "The Strange Neighbor"... the faceless dudes from "The Fugitive Fortune Teller"... Perolinga, the inside-out chicken alien thing in "Flying Saucers Have Arrived"... Alien Wild in "Fly to the Mountain of Evil"... Alien Spehl from Episode 12 (a mummy-like creature with glowing welts, a deep voice, and an even deeper growl), especially as it emerged from his hideout, scaring children who had been lured there with the promise of a prize...
  • For women tropers: If you knew what was hiding inside an unsuspecting girl's body, you'll never smell a flower up close again. Amagi's fiancée found out the hard way in Ep. 31 "The Flower Where the Devil Dwells".
  • On that same note, women were dying to own the latest Japanese watch, literally... Aliens were feeding off their blood, that is, until their attention turned to children. By the way, this happened in Episode 12, featuring Alien Spehl.
  • From "The Green Terror": Imagine you turn into a plant against your will, then go on killing rampages across the neighborhood. Now picture your spouse and you going on a vacation trip by train and that happens to you, right in front of all the passengers.
  • The Ghos aliens' plan to force earthlings to live underground as slaves in Mars (or here on Earth) after destroying the surface, beginning with Paris, London, New York, and Tokyo.
  • Alien Chibull from "Android 0 Directive" builds and gives away war-related toys that happen to be real weapons, so that all children can wage war and force adults, who (supposedly) won't fight them, to surrender. What's to stop a determined or desperate grown-up from fighting back, regardless?
    • He transforms into his true form when Android Zero One is destroyed, as if she were his Restraining Bolt.
  • King Joe's movements can be kind of freaky sometimes, falling straight into the Uncanny Valley.
  • Also, while Metron is pretty cool, the fact that he works by causing violent hallucinations and is responsible for hundreds of violent incidents in the town he's in is quite scary.
  • Eleking's death is pretty graphic, to say the least; with roughly a pint of blood erupting from his neck.
  • Entirely too many human eradication plans or alien invasions are prevented through timely intervention by the Ultra Garrison, often only after the initial damage has been done. Now imagine that, as in real life, they didn't exist...
  • For a kid, the swirling opening logo that was introduced in Episode 14 may be a bit creepy.
  • The Pole aliens, appearing in silhouette in front of a wall of fire, with high-pitch voices that seem to be yelling all the time. They taunt Dan about causing the third Ice Age and his weakness to extreme cold. Ah, and that eerie One-Woman Wail, which is chilling even when listened to by itself. Dan thought he was hallucinating the first time.
  • Also from Episode 25, the normally cuddly Miklas's last image, just before Dan called him back in the capsule. It's barely moving, making Miklas look unusually creepy.
  • From the same episode, Gandar caused enough damage with the Cold Snap to paralyze the Ultra Garrison base (no electricity, no computers, no radar, no ability to fly or deploy the Magmalizer), damage the infrastructure, and kill a few humans. All this is in a base with its operation room located 18 stories down. Then there was Seven's energy level going down to about five minutes before he would collapse and die.
  • Anne ran from a human-ape hybrid that fixated on her in "The Great Ape of Terror". True, he rescued her from being turned into one, but then he gave chase...
  • The Mass "Oh, Crap!" when the UG first tried to rescue Seven in part II of "The Seven Assassination Plan", only for the Ultra Hawk I to be shot down and sent on a collision course with our hero, and then he vanished...
  • Another Mass "Oh, Crap!" from our heroes in "Super Weapon R-1" when Kiriyama heard the radio transmission from the UG personnel who ran into Starbem Gyeron after planet Gyeron was destroyed.
    • Before that, Dr. Maeno seems far too excited to use the Super Weapon R-1 to destroy planet Gyeron...
      "If the experiment is successful, planet Gyeron will disappear from the universe."
    • Starbem Gyeron reformed after supposedly dying.
    • In response to Starbem Gyeron's Healing Factor, the scientists responsible for R-1 propose using the Super Weapon R-2 to destroy him. Keep in mind that R-2 is stronger than the planet-busting R-1, and they intend to use it at the risk of destroying Earth along with Starbem Gyeron.
    • Starbem Gyeron's death at the hands of Seven, where Seven tears one of his arms off, then slits his throat and causes copious amounts of Alien Blood to spray everywhere. It's a Tearjerker as well because the creature only attacked after its home planet was blown away.
  • Some of the voices in the Cinar dub, like the deep, warbling Ultraseven voice to Alien Godola's Evil Laugh and the female suicide bomber from the same episode, who just before transforming has a male voice!
    • Kurata's voice in "The Man from V3" is either creepy or Narm.
