History
- Godzilla Goes to Space! (1972)
Godzilla Goes to Space!
After witnessing King Ghidorah attack spaceships and UFOs near the Moon, the Space Defense Force responded by transporting Godzilla and Rodan there in spacefaring capsules. King Ghidorah eventually descended onto the Moon's surface and destroyed a Moon base with his Gravity Beams. When Godzilla and Rodan arrived on the Moon, the monster duo found a group of Dracund aliens firing on another Moon base using massive laser cannons. One of the aliens noticed Godzilla and Rodan's arrival, sending a signal to its fellows through its antennae. Upon receiving the command, the other aliens turned their attention to the two kaiju, but most were mowed down by Godzilla's atomic breath, while Rodan picked up one in his talons. The remaining Dracund aliens were supported by UFOs who engaged Rodan, while Godzilla battled with King Ghidorah after the space dragon announced his arrival.
Capabilities
Antennae
The central antenna on the Dracund Aliens fire a red spiral-shaped laser that sends electric signals to other members of their species in order to communicate with one another.[1]
Laser blasters
The Dracund Aliens are equipped with giant blasters that fire blue lasers. The blasts were ineffective against Godzilla and Rodan.

Trivia
- The book in which the Dracund aliens appear was packaged with a short 8mm re-edit of Invasion of Astro-Monster. The Dracund thus loosely take the place of the Xiliens in the story.
