General Giluke (ギルーク司令 Girūku Shirei): Originally from Planet Girath (ギラス星 Girasu-sei), Giluke is the invasion leader, appearing to be trusted by Bazoo to lead the invasion of Earth. However, he secretly plots on overthrowing Bazoo alongside fellow general Ahames; an initial attempt alongside the Space Beast Marzo failing when prior attempted.

Although initially leading the Gozma forces on Earth on his own, he continues to be reprimanded by Bazoo for the continued failures of facing the Changeman. He is further bothered with the arrival of Ahames on Earth; though he wishes to fight alongside her again, Bazoo forbids it knowing of the previous traitorous actions the duo performed working together to overthrow him. It is further hampered when Bazoo decides to only keep one of the two generals around, forcing Giluke to face the Changeman personally when the space lord tells him that he'd only keep either him or Ahames and that victory against the Changeman is the only way to decide which remains.

Ghost Giluke
After failing Bazoo too many times, Giluke puts into plan his final operation: realizing the power of the "Rigel Aura" possessed by girls of planet Rigel as they change into adults, he pursues Nana, a Rigelian brought to Earth for another scheme, believing that bathing within the aura would give him super power. Though with the Changeman protecting her and Ahames arriving to obtain the Rigel Aura for herself, Giluke continues to go after Nana until the aura begins to awaken. But as she emits it from her body, Ahames steals the aura for herself, preventing him from gaining his ultimate desire. With nothing more to fight for, Giluke goes mad and fights the Changeman, withstanding attack after attack until being hit by the Power Bazooka. But as he falls, Bazoo takes his still-living body and throws him into a black hole, finally ridding himself of his failed general. TV STORY-Ep. 32: Nana!

After his supposed death, Giluke ends up surviving within the space graveyard Bazoo sends him to by fusing his body with that of a dead Space Beast, transforming him into Ghost Giluke (ゴーストギルーク Gōsuto Girūku). Using the Space Beast's powers and abilities and his now ghost-like body from his "death", Giluke haunts both the Changeman and Ahames due to his grudge against them. Bazoo ends up allowing Giluke to get away with it seeing his increased power and tenacity in being able to escape from his "death".

Later, he begins to attack Nana once again to reawaken the Rigel Aura within her in order to finally restore himself. He becomes endowed with the backlash of her energies to become Super Giluke (スーパーギルーク Sūpā Girūku, 43-54) before becoming the Space Beast Warrior Girath (ギラス Girasu, 54) and is finally defeated by the Changemen.
Abilities
In his original form as General Giluke, he shows a strong body as well as uses two swords, including one made for the strongest warrior from his homeworld.
After transforming into Ghost Giluke, he becomes much physically stronger as well as gains the ability to fire beams from his eyes. Though appearing much more powerful, Giluke can only last a short time with each appearance before disappearing due to his now ghost-like nature.
Trivia
- The connection between Giluke and Nana is more than merely as enemies: Nana's older form is played by his daughter Tokie Shibata.
