The series introduces over 666 species of aliens, each varying in strength, motivation, and oddity. Here, we'll explore some of the most formidable and bizarre aliens in Dandadan, ranked by their strength and abilities.

10. Mandrill Alien: A One-Shot Threat

The Mandrill Alien makes his appearance in the one-shot manga Profoundly Mysterious Kick-the-Can Battle!. This alien scientist, resembling a mandrill monkey, is noted for his intelligence and creation of the Territory Can, which turns humans into Can Zombies. Despite his genius, Mandrill Alien is a one-off villain easily defeated by the series’ protagonists, Momo and Okarun, showcasing their ingenuity.

9. Big Mamas: The Kur’s Unstoppable Tools

Grotesque and unsettling, the Big Mamas are mindless extraterrestrials used by the Kur to conquer planets. They lack intelligence, but their ability to produce powerful exosuits from consumed creatures makes them indispensable to the Kur's invasions. The strength of these exosuits varies, but they form the core of the Kur's ability to adapt and dominate different worlds.

8. Flatwoods Monster: A Hulking Sumo-Like Foe

Contracted by the Serpos to attack Momo and Okarun, the Flatwoods Monster is a formidable alien fighter. With a physique and fighting style akin to a sumo wrestler, its physical attacks are deadly. It also emits poisonous smoke, adding another layer of danger. However, the combined efforts of Momo’s craftiness and Okarun’s speed prove effective against this formidable adversary.

7. Sumerians: Proud Fighters with Advanced Weaponry

The Sumerians, hailing from Vamola’s home planet, are deeply embroiled in a long-standing war with the Kur. Despite being greatly outnumbered, they rely on their advanced technology and weaponry, making them a formidable enemy. Their spirit and persistence reflect their strength, suggesting a shared ancestry with Earthlings, which could further deepen their potential should a connection be uncovered.

6. Mr. Mantis Shrimp: An Unlikely Ally

First appearing as an adversary, Mr. Mantis Shrimp, or Dover Demon Peeny-Weeny, becomes an ally post-defeat. This boxing alien worked with the Serpos due to personal circumstances rather than malice. Despite his actual strength, his true power lies underwater, akin to a mantis shrimp, making him an intriguing yet vulnerable combatant.

5. Nessie: The Aquatic Enigma

Nessie is an anomalous creature believed to be either an extraterrestrial supporter of the Serpo or the real Loch Ness Monster. With its robotic traits, Nessie unleashes devastating beams of water, though these take time to recharge, limiting its relentless offensive capability. Its inability to distinguish enemies adds complexity to its role in battles. Here's more about the Nessie phenomenon in Dandadan.

4. Serpo Aliens: Technological Sapience

The Serpos, or Serpoians, are recurrent alien antagonists in Dandadan. As clones, they lack evolutionary adaptability, turning to technology and psychokinesis to enhance their capabilities. Their combined expertise in space and spirituality, along with technology that mimics supernatural abilities, allows them formidable offense and defensive strategies despite their original weaknesses.

3. Count Saint-Germain: The Mystifying Collector

An enigmatic player in the alien hierarchy, Count Saint-Germain stands out for his pursuit of supernatural phenomena. Initially aligned with the Kur, he possesses the ability to steal powers from those he defeats. His strategic mind, combined with exceptional sword skills and the capacity to absorb abilities, make his full potential fearsome and unpredictable.

2. Kur: The Overwhelming Space Globalists

The Kur exemplify the overwhelming threat of technological superiority. With bodies unable to withstand most planetary environments, they exploit sophisticated exosuits for both survival and conquest. Each exosuit’s unique abilities can warp reality and grant unprecedented power, posing a significant challenge to anyone daring enough to oppose them. Learn more about the Kur's superiority.

1. Ludris: The Nanoskin Prodigy

In a narrative twist, the seemingly benign Ludris turns out to be the most potent alien in Dandadan. Creator of nanoskin, a versatile and powerful material, Ludris is recognized for his miraculous skill. Nanoskin’s adaptive properties allow those with creative aptitude to forge items rivaling the Kur’s technology, offering limitless potential for creativity and power.
