History

The first of the three Capsule Monsters used by Ultra Seven, Windam was an imitation of a giant life form from planet Metal.

Windam made his debut appearance in the first episode, fighting against a squad of saucers by the Kuruu Aliens, he managed to destroy a few of them, but he was forced back into his capsule when the saucers began to burn his body.

Windam was put into action once again to destroy the base of Alien Kanan, but the alien placed him under hypnosis and ordered him to attack Ultra Seven instead. Ultra Seven did his best to tire out his Capsule Monster and managed to break the hypnotic spell on Windam. Windam was sent to attack the base again, but was once again called back once Alien Kanan used a stun ray to knock him unconscious.

Windam was used one last time when Alien Guts

It is unknown if Windam was repaired at M78 or not after Ultra Seven defeated Alien Guts, but Windam would be greatly remembered by his master as a heroic monster.
