Episode 4: Ragon

It's certainly been awhile folks, but ol' Ben Mackey ain't done yet!

The monster I present to you today is none other than the irradiated beast known as Ragon. Living below the waves, this creature had a calm and complacent life catching fish and chasing eclectic eels. Until one day (a day like any other), Ragon was introduced to the physiologically devastating effects of nuclear energy! Two bombs went off in his backyard and just like that, he found himself gigantic and mighty pissed off!

Unfortunately for Ragon, his parents never taught him very good coping mechanisms. He worked through his frustration like most of the other wayward monsters in a spree of boat sinkings and building destructions.

However, Ragon was even more dangerous because an atomic bomb was stuck to his shoulder! Fearing the worst, The Science Patrol was called in. They took drastic measures to play it safe, making sure to prevent the atomic bomb from dropping off his shoulder and causing another nuclear catastrophe. Luckily, Ultraman was able to disable Ragon, take hold of the bomb, and finally fly it into space where no living creature would suffer from the harmful effects of radiation poisoning!

Powers:
- Underwater proficiency
- Release bursts of energy from mouth

Episode 3: Neronga

So, it has been a little while since I watched Episode 3, but I'll do my best to recount the momentous appearance of this new monster.

He goes by the name of Neronga, and as the legend goes: is some sort of monster that has been sleeping in the ground for years upon years, slowly growing to massive proportions thanks to the power plant that was built on the surface.

The monster is first awakened from his slumber after the Science Patrol's youngest member (Hoshino) climbs down a well for some unknown reason (the youth can be a testy bunch) and disturbs his resting place.

Irritable and hungry, Neronga starts consuming the electricity from local power plants. Having fed on electrical run-off for most of his life, Neronga is addicted to the stuff. The Science Patrol shoot some guns at him, but ultimately they need the help of Ultraman to stop the monster before he destroys the power station that supplies power to ~70% of Japan!

Powers:
- Invisibility (when properly fed)
- Absorb and discharge electricity via facial projections

Episode 2: Baltan

Next up on the UltraBestiary chopping block is a member of the Baltan alien race.

Just like Bemular, a wayward Baltan space traveler finds himself crashed on Earth. His ship is in need of repair and heads to the nearest center of Scientific Research and Development to attain the necessary parts. Along the way, a number of pesky humans attempt to thwart his plans. Having no other options, he is forced to freeze them.

However, this freezing does not go unnoticed. The Science Patrol is called in to attempt some sort of peace talks with the alien monster. Predictably, these don't go over well. Upon taking mental control of a member of the Science Patrol, Hayata (the fellow who transforms into Ultraman) learns that the Baltans plan on taking over Earth because their home world was recently destroyed by nuclear weapons! Apparently their unplanned visit to Earth was enough to convince them that we have a pretty whiz-bang planet.

But no dice says Hayata, transforming into Ultraman. He kicks some Baltan butt and destroys the alien's invisible spaceship for good measure.

Powers:
- Flight
- Hypnosis (mind control)
- Claws can emit freeze rays and blasts of explosive energy

Episode 1: Bemular

Starting off this UltraBestiary is the space monster known as Bemular.

After crash landing on Earth on his way to some inter-dimensional space prison, Bemular escapes from his containment orb, and begins to wreak havoc on a group of beach side Japanese Bohemians! He rears his reptilian head from the water a couple of times, only to be sent back under by the laser guns of the Science Patrol.

Even though Bemular appears content in chilling beneath the waves, the Science Patrol apparently hasn't had enough and sends a submarine after him. He takes a few underwater missiles to the back, showing that his thorny hide must grant him a substantial amount of invulnerability. Later in the episode, we get to see Bemular's true coup de gras monster power... his energy beam breath!

Regrettably, it only takes a few wrestling moves from Ultraman to bring him down.

Powers:
- Energy beam breath
- Thorny backside
- Survive underwater
