Plooma appeared in the 1971 TV series called The Return of Ultraman. Plooma was a monster used by Alien Zelan as a diversion in his plan to kill Ultraman Jack. After getting Goh to separate from MAT, Zelan dispatched Plooma to attack the city in order to distract MAT.
MAT quickly arrived and fired at Plooma with their weapons, but thanks to the monster's thick armor, Plooma was able to shrug off MAT's assaults and continued to rampage through the city. Finally after a scuffle with MAT over the truth of Zelan's plans, Goh transformed into Ultraman Jack to battle the monster himself. At first Jack found it difficult to harm the monster as his Specium Ray couldn't even pierce the monster's hide, but then the Ultra used his Ultra Bracelet's Ultra Spark to decapitate the monster, killing him. Although Plooma was killed, his distraction was a success as Zelan's prime weapon for killing Jack was with his very own Ultra Bracelet...
