Armored Mefilas

is a set of armor created for Alien Mefilas race, those who don it will also adopt the armor's name as their forms. As its name and appearance suggests, it was created with similar properties to the Armored Darkness.
==History==
According to the booklet for Ultraman Mebius Gaiden: Ghost Rebirth, the Armored Mefilas was originally created as Alien Mefilas III's equivalent, for just as Armored Darkness is Alien Empera's armor. However whereas the Armored Darkness is a full body equipment and sentient, Armored Mefilas covers a significant portion of the alien's body parts, most tellingly the upper torso, gauntlets and boots.
===Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey===
The Armored Mefilas made its first live action appearance when the Reionics Alien Mefilas grabs the Darkness Broad belonging to Armored Darkness, in turn gaining access to this form. Having previously defeated in the Reionics Battle and forced to wander on Planet Hammer out of humiliation, Mefilas uses his newfound power to slay a Dada that mocked him and the Alien Temperor and his Arigera that was responsible for his defeat. Mefilas was killed after awakening the Armored Darkness and revived at some point of time by Alien Reiblood as a trial against Rei's Gomora and Miclas. Gomora's Ultra Oscillation Wave destroyed the Armored Darkness and thus liberating Mefilas from Reiblood (and presumably that armor)'s control, repaying the human Reionics by saving the Space Pendragon out of gratitude.
===Ultraman Mebius Gaiden: Ghost Rebirth===
Although the rest of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings are said to be revived by a distortion in the Monster Graveyard, the DVD booklet revealed that Mefilas III's case was very particular, in that it was the very armor that latched onto his vengeful spirit and granted him his resurrection. But this came with a drawback; just like the Armored Darkness, Armored Mefilas' innate dark magic corrupted its wearer, turning Mefilas III into a brash and irrational departure from his usual calculative self who will resort to whatever methods to achieve Empera's resurrection.
Mefilas III once again killed by Hikari's Knight Shoot, taking along the armor with his destruction.

Through unknown means, Darkness Five member Sly manages to get his hand on an Armored Mefilas and dons it for the rest of his appearances.
==Powers==
*Dark Magic: Just like the Armored Darkness, Armored Mefilas contains a deposit of dark magic within it, allowing its user to channel said power through their attacks. However, this very power can also bring corruptive influence to its users unless it is worn by those with stronger physical and mental resistances.
*Durability: The armor has its own form of durability in the manga, as it can withstand the firepower of Ultra Brothers. It however loses to the intense heat generated by the Valley of the Flames.
*: An arm blade that is also part of the Armored Mefilas. It appears only during combat, replacing the right arm gauntlet.
*Anti-Armored Darkness Material: The Armored Darkness' nigh-indestructible nature means that only items with similar properties can destroy it. The Armored Mefilas counts, hence it also works vice versa when Mebius Phoenix Brave uses the sentient armor's left arm gauntlet to shatter it.
==Other media==
===Ultraman Festival 2008===
In the first half of the live stage, another Alien Mefilas wearing the Armored Mefilas appears as fights the Ultra Warriors and destroys the Armored Darkness to prevent the sentient armor from going against him. With Armored Mefilas coming close to win, Ultraman Mebius Phoenix Brave manages to recover the Armored Darkness' left arm gauntlet hidden by a Kemur, using it to punch the alien's chest armor, defeating him.
===Ultraman Mebius Gaiden: Ghost Rebirth (manga)===
In a manga adaptation of the original video, Mefilas III uses this armor to fight off against the Ultra Brothers, allowing him to tank their beam attacks without a scratch. Unfortunately when entering the Valley of the Flames, the Armored Mefilas shattered due to the valley's intense heat, but Mefilas III was able to walk out safely, having expected this to happen.
==Trivia==
*Judging from Alien Mefilas' statistic approximation, the Armored Mefilas weighs 5,000 t in giant size and 10 kg in human size.
*14 years in real life after the release of Ghost Rebirth, Ultraman Regulos would introduce the Alien Magma Volcan wearing a set of battle armor. Like Armored Mefilas, his unnamed armor is based on the Armored Darkness, but while the former has similar properties to its template, the latter merely copied its appearance and durability to the sentient armor.
*In attraction events, an Armored Mefilas suit is produced with the armor parts molded onto it and has red eyes, resembling Sly. This suit appears in various stage events that portrayed the alien, at times with Hiroki Yasumoto providing the voice role, but never explicitly stated to be Sly himself.
