Subtitle: Space Dinosaur ( 宇宙恐竜 )

"Z-Ton" is also the name of the planet from which he originated, as well as the aliens that utilize him (the Z-Ton Aliens - ゼットン星人 ). They are "Transforming Monsters" ( 変身怪人 ).

Stats:
The smaller aliens that work in conjunction with Zetton, known as Kemur-beings, are 2 meters (6.56 feet) tall and weigh 0.06 tons. The actual Zetton monster is 60 meters (196.8 feet) tall and weighs 3,000 tons.

Zetton is said to be the most powerful monster in the universe. He resembles a giant horned humanoid beetle with a glowing yellow streak down his face (in lieu of a mouth), striped yelloy black limbs and powerful black armor plates on the torso. Zetton possesses several strange locations for sensory organs: The yellow panels on Zetton's chest are thought to be compound eyes. Where eyes are on most creatures, Zetton has two sensory pits, thought to emit sonar or radar signals. Where ears would normally be are sensors that acquire the reflected signals. Zetton shoots 1-trillion-degree-Celsius Fireballs from his mouth, shoots white energy waves from his hands (but only after absorbing an enemy beam attack), can create a force field which resembles the Baltan barrier:called Zetton Shutter in Utraman Max (only this time, Ultraman Max's Cutting Halo shatters on the force field of Max's Zetton; rather than bounce off like Ultraman's did, on the force field of the original Zetton), and can absorb Specium Ray. These powers counter Ultraman's weapons flawlessly. He was strong enough to defeat Ultraman. Zetton's roar is a series of beeps and a low pitched voice that utters "Zet-ton!" Everytime Zetton gets hit he uters "Ton"

History
In the show's tearful conclusion, an armada of alien ships arrive, plotting to conquer the Earth, and their plan was surely an effective one, almost succeeding where Ultraman's previous adversaries have failed. The aliens target the Science Patrol HQ and Ultraman, the only obstacles in their conquest. However, the Science Patrol chases and eliminates all but one of the alien vessels. Adding to the Science Patrol's difficulties, one alien infiltrates HQ and subdues Dr. Iwamoto. This alien, known as a Kemur-being, then shape-changes to disguise itself as Dr. Iwamoto, knocks out Science Patrol team member Fuji, and sabotages much of the Science Patrol's communication equipment and scientific instruments. The Science Patrol eventually chases down the Kemur-being and kills it. Dr. Iwamoto and Fuji manage to recover.

The one ship that evades the Patrol somehow burrows underground and surfaces just outside of Science Patrol HQ, releasing Z-Ton to finish the job. Hayata transforms into Ultraman for one last time.

Ultraman and Zetton battle but Zetton easily withstands each of his attacks until Ultraman falls, his Color Timer was damaged by Zetton Final Ray after absorbing Specium Ray. Ultraman falls unconscious and, left prone on Earth's surface, faces the prospect of dying without direct stellar radiation to revive him. The Z-ton monster proceeds to set fire to Science Patrol HQ. However, Dr. Iwamoto presents a newly-developed weapon, and with it, Science Patrol member Arashi succeeds in destroying the Zetton. The Science Patrol douse the charred remnants of their HQ. With Ultraman at death's door, he is suddenly saved by his superior, Zoffy, who comes to Earth in a TravelSphere to rescue him. He not only restores Ultraman's life, but separates him from Hayata's body, restoring the Earthman's life as well. Zoffy and Ultraman then fly back to their homeworld on the Land of Light in the Nebula M78. However, Zetton was brought back to life as a pawn against Ultraman and his kind in some of the subsequent Ultra Series.
