==History==
===Ultra Q===
As the Cold War continued to smoulder on Earth, humanity began to explore the Solar System. Reaching as far out as Mars, humanity began to threaten other races with its own recklessness. A rocket that was sent to Mars crash landed off the coast of Japan during its return trip, where two golden spheres, discovered on the red planet, were stolen by a pair of thieves. While one sphere would be dropped when Manjome encountered the first thief and then recovered by Ippei, the other was taken to the thieves’ hideout in a cave. Accidentally dropping the golden orb, the pair released a hideous monster on the world when the orb hatched into Namegon after it landed in the warm waters of a hot spring.
Roaring aloud, the slug-like monster killed the thieves with its eye beams. Soon the monster broke out of the mountain, challenging the people around it! As Ippei and Yuriko flee with the soldiers and civilians, the creature takes chase and accidentally falls off the cliff and into the sea. The alien’s body is quickly dissolved, leaving the stunned world to wonder what it was.
Not long after, as Ippei, Yuriko, and Professor Ichinotani discuss what the creature could have been, the second orb, being worn by Yuriko as a pendant, began to grow once close to a heat source! They quickly realize what it was and threw it out the window. Not long after, the second Namegon emerges, ready to challenge the world. The monster would quickly be dealt with much like the first, but the statement made by the rulers of Mars was loud and clear: stay away

===Ultraman Mebius===
A Namegon is mentioned to have killed Hiroto Ban's mother five years before his trip to Earth.
===Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Adventure NEO===
A herd of Namegon appeared on an alien planet where Alien Guts used for their experimental testing site. It first killed an Alien Wild that was threatening Ai and Kanegon, forcing the two into a limestone cave for protection. While fighting against Basiliss spawned by King of Mons, Red King grabbed a nearby Namegon as a projectile against the winged monster, throwing it against Sculla and killing them both at the same time.
====Trivia====
*Kanegon acknowledged that Namegon's natural habitat is Mars. This brings the implication that the herd of Namegons may not be natives to the unnamed planet that Guts used.
===Ultraman Taiga Novel: Tregear's Story／Blue Shadow===
While on Planet Tutuola, the exiled Ultraman Tregear created Snark from a pool of primordial soup, which he noted that his creation resembles Namegon. 
===Fight! Sevenger===
In June 2015,Ultraman Trigger Fan Book pg 33 Namegon was wrecking havoc in America with the GAF of America failing to capture the giant slug, leaving it to continue its rampage for over two weeks. STORAGE was contacted and used their anti-monster robot, Sevenger, in its first ever mission, defeating the menace of Namegon and proving to GAFJ that giant robots were viable in the combat against monsters.https://twitter.com/BirthHopeMetor/status/1335527514777604096
