Production designer [[Tohl Narita]] designed all of the show's monsters, and sometimes deviated from their original descriptions. A majority of the time, the writers did not include any specific descriptions in the teleplays and left most unnamed. The names of the monsters were decided via staff meetings, where it would also be determined if the writer had created a creature that was capable or incapable of being filmed with the special effects technology available at the time. The monsters were sculpted and fabricated by Ryosaku Takayama, Akira Sasaki, and Ekisu Productions.{{sfn|Ragone|2007|p=127}}

Two Godzilla suits were recycled from Toho for the monster Jirahs, with the head taken from the Godzilla suit from ''[[Ebirah, Horror of the Deep]]'' and placed upon the body of the Godzilla suit from ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]''. The dorsal fins and parts of the suit were sprayed yellow and a large yellow frill was attached to disguise the connection of the head with the body.{{sfn|Ragone|2007|p=119}} The show also marks the first appearance of ''Ultraman Zoffy'' in the finale ''Farewell, Ultraman''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/ultraman/256859/the-complete-history-of-ultraman-part-1-1966-1987|title=The Complete History of Ultraman Part 1 (1966-1987)|last=Harber|first=Stephen|work=Den of Geek|date=January 8, 2017|access-date=February 15, 2018|url-status=live|archive-date=April 22, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220422042934/https://www.denofgeek.com/culture/the-complete-history-of-ultraman-part-1-1966-1987/}}</ref>
