Disguising himself as an assistant to a Seismologist, Alien Shaplay and his monster, Giradorus were on a mission to retrieve several pink rubies at were underground.
While Giradorus was searching for the rubies underground, he was causing strange seismic activity in a mountain range, prompting the Ultra Garrison to go investiage. During the investigation the Ultra Garrison found some of the rubies. After showing it to the Seismologist and his assistant, they determined it was of alien origin. Alien Shaplay, still in his disguise nearly got away with stealing the rubies until he had dropped an important device the seismologist was looking for.
While some of the Ultra Garrison members were underground, Alien Shaplay then turned into his true form after retrieving the device, revealing it to really be his transformation device. Before he started attacking the Ultra Garrison, he claimed that the seismologist was an alien himself, but the Ultra Garrison members on the surface did not believe him and shot him dead. However before dying, Alien Shaplay called out to his monster Giradorus to finish off the Ultra Garrison before bursting into flames.

His height is 65 meters tall and weighs around 16 tons.
A Bioweapon created by Alien Shaplay to help him in his search for the underground rubies, Giradorus searched underground while Shaplay disguised himself as the Seismologist's assistant.
After Shaplay was killed by the Ultra Garrison, Shaplay ordered his monster to kill the other members. Giradorus arose from the surface and began to rampage with his additional weather-controlling powers until Dan transformed into Ultra Seven, saving the other members underground and bringing them to the surface. Because of Giradorus's weather manipulating tusks Ultra Seven found it difficult to battle him, but the hero continued to fight. After escaping a tackle Ultra Seven used the Eye Slugger to decapitate Giradorus, spilling the rubies from his neck.
Alien Shaplay reappeared in the movie Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie.
In the film, Alien Shaplay was sent by Ultraman Belial (along with a selected few monsters that belong to Belial as well) to keep anyone from reaching the Spark Tower where Ultraman Taro was protecting the last trace of energy to keep the planet alive.
Appearing first with his first batch of monsters, (Dorako, Bemstar, and Saramandora) Shaplay confronted Rei and Mirai on the now abandoned and frozen Land of Light and fought Mirai, eventually damaging his Medium Brace. Shortly into their battle, Rei and Mirai were saved by Dan Moroboshi (who sent his capsule monsters to battle Belial's monsters) and Shin Hayata (who incapacitated Shaplay by blasting him into a wall of ice that collapsed on him.)
After the four heroes unite and reach the Spark Tower, they are confronted by Alien Shaplay again, who now brings with him a Black King to attack them. Rei sends him Gomora to battle Black King while the three Ultras search the Spark Tower. They are ambushed by Alien Shaplay once inside, but Alien Shaplay is defeated after being shot so many times by Hayata and by plunging to his death off a cliff.
