Leader(s)
Sailor Galaxia
Sailor Galaxia emerges as Sailor Moon's strongest opponent in the manga Stars and in its anime counterpart, Sailor Stars. As such, she serves as the main antagonist in the above-mentioned story arc. As the self-proclaimed "Golden Queen of Shadow Galactica" she directly commands the Sailor Animamates. She is also described as the Soldier of Solitude. Her goal is to discover all the Sailor Crystals in the universe so that she can rule the universe unopposed. Galaxia's own crystal, the Saffer Crystal, is described as one of the most powerful Sailor Crystals in the galaxy.
In the manga, Sailor Galaxia originated alone on a small planet she deemed "trash". She wandered alone until the day her powers awakened. But she had no purpose for herself, and felt that the mere role of a Sailor Senshi did not satisfy her; she craved something and she thought that was power. She left her planet in search of another place which she could call home. During her travels she came upon a bar, Chaos in the form of Wiseman, showed Galaxia what she was looking for—the Galaxy Cauldron. She discovered that in order for her gain control of the Galaxy Cauldron she had to gather the Sailor Crystals of all the Sailor Soldiers of the galaxy. Those powers combined together with that of Sailor Moon would give her the power to kill Chaos and rule the galaxy. She then created Shadow Galactica and traveled to planet after planet, turning them into places of death and stealing the star-seeds of their guardian Sailor Soldiers. In her first conquest on Earth, she stole Mamoru's golden star seed right in front of Usagi's eyes; and after that, she and her minions stole the life force of each of the Sailor Soldiers on Earth until only Sailor Moon, Chibichibi and the Sailor Starlights were left. At the Galaxy Cauldron, Galaxia proceeded to battle them, until Chaos tried to kill Galaxia by blasting her off a cliff. Sailor Moon rescued her from falling over the cliff into the cauldron, and Galaxia finally realized that what she had always really wanted was love, not power. By accepting Sailor Moon's offer of friendship, the bracelets which supplied Galaxia with life and power shattered, and she died with a smile on her face.
In the anime, Sailor Galaxia once ranked as the legendarily strongest Sailor Senshi in the universe. The Sailor Wars pitted all of the Sailor Senshi against those who infringed against love and justice. Eventually, the Wars ended when Sailor Galaxia sealed the source of all malice, Chaos, within her body to save the cosmos. However, Chaos began to increase its power while sealed up. Knowing her power put the entire universe at risk, Galaxia expelled her star seed (in the form of Chibichibi) into the rural galaxy of the Milky Way, where the newly born stars of love and justice resided. With that her acts of free will came to an end. Now completely controlled by Chaos, Sailor Galaxia sought to steal all the star seeds in the universe in order to control it for herself in the name of "Star Galaxia". In order to do this, she used the power given to her by Chaos to create a pair of Golden bracelets that granted her life and the power to extract the starseeds of many people including the Sailor senshi of every planet in the universe. During her invasion, she also found many living beings from each planet whom she granted the power of her own bracelets to do the work for her. These living beings became known as the Sailor Animamates. The planets she and the Animamates wrecked included the planet Kinmoku; the resident Sailor Soldiers and Princess Kakyuu managed to escape destruction and flee to Earth, the last place that Sailor Galaxia had not invaded.
In order to enter Earth, Sailor Galaxia first did two things. She broke the seal of Queen Nehelenia in order to force the awakening
of the soldier of silence, Sailor Saturn. Galaxia didn't want any "immature" star cyrstals and wanted to have Sailor Saturn ready for her to take when she collects the star seeds of the Solar System. After Nehelenia was defeated by Sailor Moon and she was given a second chance at life, Galaxia began her plan. As Mamoru Chiba was flying to America to begin his studies, Galaxia attacked the airplane he was traveling in and stole his golden star seed. Once this was done, she sent her Sailor Animamates to find true star seeds belonging to Sailor Soldiers - in other words, Sailor Crystals. After numerous failures, Galaxia would kill most of her Animamates by force, and eventually confronted the Sailor Soldiers herself.
Galaxia first battled Princess Kakyuu, who had recently come out of hiding. While Kakyuu succeeded in holding a barrier against Galaxia for a time, her enemy eventually overpowered and killed her. The Starlights, Guardian Senshi, and Outer Senshi each initiated their own plans of attack. The Starlights confronted Galaxia first, but before the loss of their star seeds the Guardian Senshi teleported in to rescue them. During Galaxia's attempt to steal the star seeds of the Starlights, the Guardian Senshi intervened directly, protecting them from attack and dying so that their star seeds were stolen instead.
With the battered Starlights protecting Sailor Moon and Chibichibi, the Outer Senshi confronted Galaxia. Now Galaxia revealed her hand in releasing Nehelenia and forcing Saturn to mature. Galaxia offered the Outer Senshi a chance to serve her in exchange for their starseeds — an offer which Uranus and Neptune "accepted", killing Pluto and Saturn and then proceeding to hunt down the Starlights. With their own powers enhanced by Galaxia's power, Uranus and Neptune succeeded in overpowering the Starlights, but turned on Galaxia at the last minute to try to take her starseed. Their attack failed since Galaxia had no starseed to take and the last two Outer Sailor Soldiers died.
The Starlights engaged in a final battle with Galaxia, teaming up with their attacks and managing to do some damage to her before going down in defeat. Unlike most of the other characters, though, they did not die. Galaxia crushed Sailor Star Fighter's hand and Sailor Star Yell with her heel before the Sailor Soldiers could try another assault, gloating that apart from the five in front of her - the three Starlights, Sailor Moon, and ChibiChibi - every other being in the galaxy had had their starseed removed. Sailor Moon tried to restore her to normal but her attack was stopped when Galaxia broke her scepter. In an attempt to defend the fallen Starlights, Eternal Sailor Moon expelled her starseed, which Sailor Galaxia promptly shattered. At this point Chibichibi's powers awoke, revealing her as the Light of Hope. She stops Galaxia's attack and restores Sailor Moon's star seed. Sailor Moon learns here that Chibi Chibi is the re-incarnation of Galaxia's star seed. Sailor Moon with her star seed becomes Princess Serenity and the Light of Hope transforms into the Sword of Sealing, which she asks Serenity to use as a weapon to defeat Galaxia. When Serenity is unwilling to do so, Galaxia shatters the sword and ChibiChibi disappears.
Sailor Moon continues to refuse to fight Sailor Galaxia, believing that she still has good inside her. She instead gives Galaxia the strength to expel Chaos from her body, an act which returns darkenss to the minds of all life, where it belongs together with the Light of Hope. The battle finally ends: Sailor Galaxia regains her soul and releases the star seeds she had stolen. Galaxia then leaves with the task of returning the star seeds home.

Chaos
Chaos becomes the main villain in the Sailor Moon universe. It emerges during the course of the series that Chaos sends out incarnations in the form of Sailor Moon's major enemies (Queen Metalia, Wiseman, Pharaoh 90, and Queen Nehelenia), and eventually uses Sailor Galaxia to steal Sailor Crystals so it can free itself and rule the galaxy.
In the manga, when Sailor Moon fights Chaos, it appears as an enormous mass of black fourth-dimensional space. In the end, with the help of all of the Senshi, Sailor Moon is able to force it into the Galaxy Cauldron and everyone who was killed is sent back, each to their planet and time of origin, reincarnated after the battle. However it is indicated that Chaos is not dead and will come back as Sailor Chaos much the same as it did in Sailor Cosmos's future's future.
Sailor Chaos never appears in the anime, but Chaos appears very briefly in episode 200 when Sailor Galaxia expels her after suffering defeat. Other than this, Chaos does not appear in the anime series. Sailor Galaxia ultimately reveals herself as the soldier who sealed Chaos within her own body and thus saved the galaxy. She holds the golden bracelets created for her by Chaos which grants her eternal life and the power to extract star seeds. She also gave each Sailor Animamates a pair to wear. Chaos possesses
Galaxia, so that Galaxia can fight the Light of Hope, which is Galaxia's own star seed. But Usagi is able to reach the small bit of hope left in Galaxia's own heart, and she releases Chaos from her body, ending the anime story arc. As well as in the manga, Chaos does not die from this final confrontation; however, differently from the resolve of the manga, Chaos leaves Galaxia to inhabit the hearts of all people, which was stated to be its original residence.

Sailor Animates
The Sailor Animamates, Sailor Galaxia's main reapers of starseeds, appear in both the anime and the manga. They bear names prefixed by the title "Sailor" followed by the name of a metal and the name of an animal. They are led by Sailor Lead Crow.
In the manga, despite the titles, none of them is a true Sailor Senshi but merely normal living-beings who gave up their own star-seeds to Galaxia to become one — in fact, the manga reveals that each of them murdered the Senshi of their home planet in order to win Galaxia's favor. The victims of three Animamates are explicitly named: Sailor Coronis, Sailor Mau and Sailor Chū (Sailor Coronis is the only one of the dead Senshi to ever be pictured in the manga). Two more Senshis are implied by the mention of devastated planets called Mermaid and Cocoon, home planets of Aluminum Seiren and Heavy Metal Papillon respectively.
This backstory is not mentioned one way or another in the anime; instead, Princess Kakyuu states that Sailor Tin Nyanko was once a true Sailor Senshi. In the anime, the Sailor Animamates disguise themselves as employees of Tokyo's primary television station, Galaxy TV, in order to get closer to their victims. Under Sailor Galaxia's command, they search for true star seeds whose shines can survive exposure to the outside world. Each of them were given a pair of Galaxia's golden bracelets that grants them the power to become a Sailor Senshi, extract starseeds and even turn their victims into phages. It has been told that they gave up their own Sailor Crystals to Galaxia in order to possess them, therefore taking them out would instantly kill them. Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon does not appear, and Eternal Sailor Moon matches them at every turn: she alone has the power to heal phages and restore star seeds to innocents. They can warp from place to place using a black phone booth.

Sailor Iron Mouse
Sailor Iron Mouse appears first of the Sailor Animamates. Her human pseudonym in the anime, Chiūko Nezu, has a name expressing word-play: in Japanese, Chūko and Nezu are each perfectly acceptable names; however, "chū" is the sound made by mice, and nezu is short for nezumi, which means "mouse". She exhibits a personality both childlike and intense; she usually chooses famous or impressive people as her victims, seems to enjoy her work, and is openly terrified of Galaxia. True to her name of mouse, Iron Mouse is very short, at least a foot shorter than all her targets. She is also afraid of cats.
Iron Mouse has a very short career in the manga, only a few pages long. She appears in Act 43, in the Fantastic Music Hall during the joint concert between the Three Lights and Michiru Kaioh. She attacks with "Galactica Crunch" before Sailor Star Healer kills her. It later emerges that Iron Mouse killed Sailor Chū, the Senshi from her home planet Chū, taking her star-seed so that Iron Mouse could be a Sailor Senshi.
In the anime, Iron Mouse can warp from place to place using a red phone-booth that she summons and which she can also use to block attacks. When in disguise, she carries a black house-phone in her bag and keeps one in a drawer at the TV station. Both of these phones are used to speak with Galaxia, who can cause phones like these to appear before Iron Mouse anywhere or any time. She can also fire a beam of purple energy from her palms. Iron Mouse functions as the antagonist for several episodes of the anime, but in episode 181 Galaxia takes her golden bracelets by force killing her instanty as punishment for her failure to collect starseeds, even though she had discovered the identity of Sailor Star Fighter.

Sailor Aluminum Siren
Sailor Aluminum Seiren becomes the second of the Sailor Animamates to appear. Her powers lie in her ability to create and manipulate songs, as per her name. Her human pseudonym in the anime is Reiko Aya, which may be a pun on "puppet," "mermaid," "makeup" and "child spirit." She is very polite, ditzy and oblivious when off-duty, and is always eating or feeling hungry; once engaged in battle, however, she drops her flaws and becomes completely ruthless.
In the manga, Aluminum Seiren first appears in Act 44 on the roof of Jūban High School and attacks Usagi and Seiya with Galactica Tsunami. She succeeds in stealing the starseeds of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter, killing them; then Sailor Star Maker and Sailor Star Fighter kill her. According to the Materials Collection, she sings and writes ballads as a hobby.
In the anime, Aluminum Seiren makes her first appearance in episode 182. Masquerading as Aya Reiko, she works together with Karasuma Akane (Sailor Lead Crow), who reveals that they once competed for the position of Number One Animamate. She eventually discovers Sailor Moon's identity and nearly succeeds in killing her, but the Guardian Senshi and the Sailor Starlights stopped her. Despite learning their identities, as well as finding a strong star seed, Aluminum Seiren dies at the hands of Galaxia in episode 188 by taking back own her bracelets by force for her failure to defeat Sailor Moon. As she vanishes, Sailor Lead Crow sheds tears for her death. She is the only Animamate who uses her manga attack (Galactica Tsunami) in the anime, although it consists only of throwing nearby water bottles, juice boxes, soda cans, etc. at the Senshi.
The anime explores her personality more deeply than does the manga. Other characters describe her as ditsy and airheaded, sometimes taking insults as compliments or not even realizing she's being insulted. She is also shown to have a large appetite and eats whenever she gets upset. She is extremely polite, and formally introduces herself (handing over a business card) to her targets before attacking them, much to Lead Crow's annoyance. Once a battle begins, however, her personality changes sharply. Although still slightly ditsy, she is shown to be quite clever and is able to set traps for the Sailor Senshi. For example, she points out Uranus' and Neptune's faux pas of standing on the table with their shoes on in order to fluster them to aid her escape. She shares a deep bond with Sailor Lead Crow.

Sailor Lead Crow
Sailor Lead Crow is the third of the Sailor Animamates to appear. Her human pseudonym in the anime is Akane Karasuma, which is taken from the words for a certain shade of red and for "crow". The Tokyopop manga translated her name as Red Crow. Despite having a bad temper, she is very intelligent and is a skilled fighter, often attacking her enemies with a whip. In episode 193, she manages to defeat Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Mercury in battle, being the only Animamate to engage the Senshi in combat.
In the manga, Lead Crow first appears in Act 45 at Rei Hino's temple to confront her fellow Coronians, Phobos and Deimos — who are actually the guardians of the Princess of Mars, Rei Hino. Using Galactica Tornado, she succeeds in stealing their starseeds before Sailor Moon destroys her with her Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss attack. It is later revealed that Lead Crow killed Sailor Coronis, the Senshi from Coronis (home planet of Phobos, Deimos, and Lead Crow), taking her star-seed so that Lead Crow could be a Sailor Senshi. According to the Materials Collection, besides using Galactica Tornado, Lead Crow can also manipulate rot, and is known for being a sadist.
In the anime, Lead Crow appears in Episode 182 as a partner of Aluminum Siren. She is said to be the leader of the Animamates, and calls her partner her "greatest rival"; however, she harbors great concern for her fellow Animamate, and when Aluminum Siren is killed, tries to carry on the same work. Siren's death seems to haunt her, and she thinks about her fallen comrade often. She dislikes Tin Nyanko, but partners with her for a time, which leads to her being killed by her own trap (a black hole vortex meaning to suck the school and the Senshi into oblivion) when Tin Nyanko sabotages it. As she gets sucked into the black hole, she cries out for Sailor Aluminum Siren and disappears into the vortex.

Sailor Tin Nyanko
Sailor Tin Nyanko, the fourth of the Sailor Animamates to appear, has as her human pseudonym in the anime Nyanko Suzu. Her pseudonym in the English manga is Kitty Bell. She has a cold personality, willing to kill anyone who is in her way.
In the manga, Tin Nyanko appears in Act 45 as a new transfer student from Libya. Like Lead Crow, she confronts people from her home planet, Mau—in this case, Luna and Artemis. Diana arrives and tries to protect them, but Tin Nyanko's Galactica Puppet attack transforms all three into their humanoid selves, then injures the crescent moon markings on their foreheads and turns them into ordinary and badly hurt cats. Sailor Star Fighter attacks her, and although she escapes unharmed, she is killed by Galaxia. It is revealed that Tin Nyanko killed Sailor Mau, the Senshi of her home planet, taking her star-seed so that Tin Nyanko could be a Sailor Senshi. Luna and Artemis call Sailor Mau their planet's only hero. Tin Nyanko also has the ability to manipulate scents and supposedly has nine lives.
In the anime, Tin Nyanko appears in Episode 188 as a rival to Sailor Lead Crow and Sailor Aluminum Siren. She is partly responsible for both their deaths, and in the process learns Sailor Moon's identity. During their confrontation, Eternal Sailor Moon attempts to heal her with her attack, and succeeds only in knocking off one of her bracelets. This allows Nyanko's true personality to partially assert itself; however, she is torn between her duty to kill the Sailor Senshi and a new urge to rebel against her master. Symbolically, it also turns out that half of her body is white. This also reveals that Tin Nyako was once good but was captured by Galaxia only to be used for retrieving starseeds and killing innocent lives from many planets. Sailor Galaxia eventually resolves the situation in Episode 195 by removing her remaining bracelet and killing her off. When Tin Nyanko dies, she leaves behind a small golden bell that had been part of her uniform.
