Subtitle: 
==Conception==
===Etymology===
Silverbloome's name was created by combining the English word "Silver," and the German word for Flower, "Bloome", so its name literally means Silver Flower. This could be in reference to the petal like appendages at the base of its body.
===Design===
Silverbloome is designed after a jellyfish and a Japanese wind chime.
==History==
===Ultraman Leo===
The vile Black Directive had set his evil eyes on Earth, as so many aliens had before him, including a large number in Ultraman Leo’s time alone. Unlike most aliens, Commander Black did not just command one kaiju. Instead, he was in charge of a total of eleven monsters housed on his homeworld, known as the Saucer Beasts. Upon arriving on Earth, Black was quick to see the threat MAC would present to him, so he called his first pet, Silverbloome to Earth, intending to dispose of them. True to their title, the first of Black's monsters took on the form of a flying saucer to come to Earth. MAC soon detected the strange creature on their space station's radar while in the midst of a party, but before any attack could be launched or defense mounted, the titan ambushed their space station with relentless fury, tearing into it with his tentacles and spewing acid into its hull, intending to consume it whole. 
As MAC mounted a desperate escape aboard one of the base's fighters, Silverbloome quickly reacted, grabbing hold of the craft and consuming it whole. Realizing that with MAC gone, and that he had taught Ultraman Leo everything he could do to help the Earth, Dan vanished into thin air to return to the Land of Light. Before he left, he implored Gen to remain on Earth and defend it in MAC‘s stead. Gen complied and transformed into Leo to survive as the space station was destroyed, grabbing hold of the monster and trying to fight it. However, Leo was too late; everyone aboard the craft was dead, having been reduced to nothing by Silverbloome's highly potent gastric acid, and the monster swiftly escaped Leo's grasp, travelling to Earth where it took on its true form. For the first time in the history of the Land of Light's connection with Earth, the entirety of a monster defense team - save for Dan and Gen - had been completely annihilated.
After concluding its rampage on Earth, Silverbloome engulfed itself in a cloud of yellow smoke and shrunk down to its smaller form. His attack left hundreds dead, including several dear friends of Gen. Never before had an Ultra lost so much, let alone to one monster. Silverbloome transformed into a new form, that of a rock, to hide out until his master called him into action once again. A young boy on his way to school picked up Silverbloome, and when he arrived, the inactive Kaiju was placed in his locker. Deciding to keep prey nearby, the monster followed the boy to his class and was found again on the child's desk. The class looked down at the strange rock, arguing over what it was until the teacher dismissed it as just a normal stone and placed it on his desk, totally unaware of the evil it contained. Later that night, the alien floated into the air, preparing to escape, but was interrupted by the teacher returning to examine it. Still wondering what it was, he struck it with a hammer, but Silverbloome was unharmed and remained inactive. Confused, the scientist then tried to heat it using a bunsen burner, Which made Silverbloome awaken. Spreading its toxic gas, Silverbloome paralyzed the man then consumed him alive. Finally, Black decided it was time for his monster to begin a second attack on Earth, and summoned the monster back to its full size to destroy the city.
Silverbloome descended on the city, engulfing and destroying a building with its massive strength. Commander Black watched, laughing as the jellyfish-like space monster laid waste to the surrounding area. Content with this show of his awesome might, Black commanded Silverbloome to revert to its smaller form to hide till the time was right to attack for a third time. That time came, and Silverbloome returned to its massive size to begin attacking a nearby school, seeking yet more prey. Gen arrived to help the students escape as the first of the Flying Saucer Beasts continued to attack, dispensing large quantities of its acid over the building, causing it to catch on fire. With the building in ruins, the Kaiju moved on to attack the city itself. 
Having had enough of Silverbloome's wanton destruction, Gen transformed into Leo, ready to take the creature down and stop its onslaught once and for all. As the battle began, Leo held Silverbloome steady to prevent it from attacking the children, allowing them to be rescued, but the Saucer Monster retaliated by thrashing Leo with its tendrils. However, this would be its undoing as Leo broke free of its tendrils, sending the monster to the ground, landing on its side. Before Silverbloome could become airborne again, Leo drove his hands into its mouth and began pulling out whatever he could grab hold of, literally gutting it alive. Disembowelled, Silverbloome was left vulnerable to a blast of the Ultra's Leo Flash, blowing it to bits and avenging his friends that it had killed.
Though Silverbloome had been destroyed, this wasn't the end of Black Directive's plans to subjugate the Earth, and the next monster in his collection was soon to be unleashed...
====Trivia====
*When Leo guts Silverbloome, the ruined remains of MAC's ship can be seen.
*Silverbloome is the first and only monster in any Ultraman Series to kill an entire Earth defense team, as seen when he completely wiped out MAC by consuming them with their ship.
*Silverbloome appears in the manga, The Ultraman Mebius where it was sent by Alien Katan to battle Ultraman Mebius.
*Silverbloome is the only Saucer Kaiju that has a color other than 'Black' in its name.
*It is suggested that Silverbloome feeds by converting its food into liquid. This is shown by it leaving yellow fluid after it consumes objects, which could be Gastric Juice.
*Silverbloome's acid appears to be diluted by rainwater. Shortly before Gen transforms into Leo, some of the acid rains onto the group of kids he was protecting, but they ultimately survive because of the rain.
===Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure===
A Silverbloome is a monster under Alien Reiblood's control. When he restarted the Reionics Battle 50 years after the destruction of Planet Hammer, Silverbloome is utilized to capture the remaining Reionics and absorb their energy for Reiblood to regain his physical form. Both Metron and Zarab are left as lifeless husks, but Vittorio managed to escape when Io Mikura grabs his gun and shoot the tentacle. Silverbloome then try latch onto EX Gomora, but Io's Gomora used Ultra Oscillation Wave and destroy the jellyfish monster.
Silverbloome's exploit is similarly reiterated in Mega Monster Battle: ULTRA MONSTERS.
===Ultraman Orb===
Silverbloome reappeared in episode six of the series Ultraman Orb as a Kaiju Card used by Alien Nackle Nagus in a card game between Jugglus Juggler and Alien Metron Tarude.
