Zetton is a giant, powerful, horned, humanoid, beetle-like Kaiju that appeared in episode 39, which is the last episode of the series Ultraman. Zetton is considered to be the most powerful monster in the original Ultraman series. However, more powerful kaiju have appeared since then.
Ultraman
After the SSSP thwarted Alien Zettons' evil plot, their HQ suffered severe damage in the process due to the Zettonian's alien vessels. Adding to the Science Patrol's difficulties, one of the aliens infiltrates the headquarters and subdues Doctor Iwamoto. The Alien Zetton then shapeshifts to disguise itself as Doctor Iwamoto, knocks out SSSP team member Akiko Fuji, and sabotages much of the Science Patrol's communication equipment and scientific instruments. The SSSP eventually chases down the alien and Shin Hayata shoots it in the head with his Mars 133 gun and kills it. However, before dying, the alien manages to utter the word "Zetton". Doctor Iwamoto and Fuji manage to recover. The one ship that evades the Patrol emerges from underground and surfaces just outside of SSSP, releasing Zetton to finish the job. Hayata transforms into Ultraman for one last time.

Return of Ultraman
Zetton reappeared in the series finale of Return of Ultraman as Zetton Ⅱ. In his plot to conquer Earth, Alien Bat brought forth Zetton Ⅱ to have him aid him in his invasion of Earth, knowing of the fear that Ultras now carry from Zetton I's victory over the original Ultraman. Even Ultraman Jack couldn't fight back out of the fearful legacy brought about by Zetton I, even refusing to allow Hideki Goh to transform into him to do so.
Ultraman : The Ultimate Hero
Zetton reappeared in the series finale of Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, as Powered Zetton. In this series, Zetton was a machine created by Alien Baltan to kill Ultraman Powered but was left dormant until he was awoken by another experiment by the Baltans, Dorako. Shortly after Dorako was destroyed, Zetton came to earth and attacked WINR's base. The Military soon arrived to assist WINR, but none of their weapons was enough to even harm the super weapon, who destroyed everything in his sights. Powered revived without Kenichi Kai as his host and tried to fight back only to be battered around by Zetton too.
Ultraman Max
Zetton reappeared in episode 13 of the series Ultraman Max. Called to earth by an Alien Zetton, this Zetton came to Earth in the form of a blue fireball and began to rampage through the city he was in. Both Ultraman Max and DASH tried to fight back only to have their attacks be proven futile by Zetton's immense power and strength and the majority of Max's power was spent in battle against the monster to the point where Max was powerless and at death's door. Soon enough, Ultraman Xenon arrived and fought against Zetton to a standstill. During the fight, Ultraman Xenon called for a weapon to assist him, but Zetton intercepted and attacked Xenon, unaware that the weapon was presented to Max.
Ultraman Mebius
Zetton reappeared in the Ultraman Mebius TV series in episode 27 : Champion of the Fierce Fight. In this series, Zetton is one of many prototype Marquette Monsters which were to be tested in hopes that they will be useful to GUYS defend Japan in the future. However, the capsule that contained Zetton was dropped by accident and was also plugged into GUYS computer network without any of the GUYS knowing it was broken. The accident results in Zetton going out of control as it tries to destroy GUYS's central computer system.Ultra.
Ultraman Mebius Gaiden : Ghost Rebirth
Zetton reappeared in the prequel to Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie, Ultraman Mebius Gaiden: Ghost Rebirth as EX Zetton. In the prequel to the above film, Ultraman Mebius and Mechazam must face off against an EX Zetton that acts as the legendary bodyguard and keeper to the Giga Battle Nizer, which was sealed away in the Valley of Flames. At first, EX Zetton manages to overwhelm both Mebius and Mechazam and does manage to mortally weakened Mechazam inside the flames that surrounded him, Ultraman Mebius and Mechazam continue to work togehter and both manage to knock EX Zetton off the narrow platform they are fighting on and EX Zetton is destroyed by the flames that surrounded them.
Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle
Zetton reappeared in episodes 12 and 13 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle. In this series Zetton was the last of Kate's evil monsters after her Fire Golza and Gan Q were defeated by Rei's monsters and the ZAP SPACY. Zetton definitely proved to also be her strongest as well, easily manhandling all of Rei's monsters (Gomora, Litra, and Eleking) without showing much signs of fatigue or physical harm for most of the battle. Rei is forced to surrender in order to save his monsters from death, only to receive the respect of Kate and another rematch with her. Rei and Kate's final battle involved Gomora vs. Zetton to which Zetton clearly had the strength advantage, overpowering Gomora and blocking all of his attacks.
Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle : Never Ending Odyssey
Zetton returned in episode 3 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey as Illusion Zetton. In his series, Zetton appears, but not as himself. He as conjured up as a hypnotic illusion created by Alien Nackle's Galberos in an attempt to weaken Rei and his Gomora from fighting him. (It is believed that he also used this strategy to kill an Arstron that belonged to a Alien Zelan earlier in their appearance.) Whenever it would appear that Gomora was victorious, Zetton would "return" even after being destroyed and continue attacking them, eventually pushing Rei into transforming into Reimon to better his chances of defeating him, with obviously no success.
Mega Monster Battle : Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie
Zetton reappeared in the movie Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie. Zetton is one of Ultraman Belial's 100 Monster Army. He was first seen as spirit reacting to the Plasma Spark in the Monster Graveyard along with King Guesra, Telesdon, Sadola, Jasyuline, and Angross. He then teamed up with Alien Baltan, Gomess, Magular, King Guesra, Antlar, Twin Tail, Gudon, Arigera, King Goldras, and King Silvergon to take on Ultraman. Zetton was called back by Belial to watch Reionic Burst Gomora fight the Ultras and was sent back along with the remaining surviving monsters to take down Ultraman Zero. He was killed by Zero in the final battle, and the fifth of the six last monsters to fall to Zero's Zero Slugger Attack after Fire Golza, Alien Valky, King Joe Black, Alien Guts and followed by Tyrant, making Zetton the second-to the last monster in the 100 Monster Army who was killed, second to Tyrant.
Ultraman Saga
Zetton reappeared in the film, Ultraman Saga, as a more powerful version of itself, Hyper Zetton. Gigant Hyper Zetton is the "Larva" form of Hyper Zetton that appears in the film. Giganto Zetton is the larval form of Hyper Zetton which was created when Alien Bat picked up his corpse from the Monster Graveyard and fused him with the kidnapped Sphires that appeared in Ultraman Saga. Having already defeated Ultraman Dyna prior to the appearances of Ultraman Cosmos and Ultraman Zero, Alien Bat cocooned Giganto Zetton, allowing his creation to feed off the despair of the last remaining humans on Earth in order to become stronger.
Ultraman Ginga
Prior to the TV series, Zetton participated in the Dark Spark War fighting alongside various monsters against Ultras. He once again fought Ultraman, and probably due to Ultraman becoming much stronger than before this time, both were equally matched. However, suddenly in the midst of the great battle, an unknown evil appeared and turned every Ultras and Kaiju into Spark Dolls. It is unknown where the Spark Doll of Zetton has fallen. In episode 7, him and many other monsters cheering Ultraman Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos.

Later, when Zamsher was UltraLived, Zetton and Zoa Muruchi were defeated by a single slash by the swordsman's katana. Alien Magma, a remnant minion of Dark Lugiel tried to use Chigusa Kuno to DarkLive into Zetton. When she failed thanks to Kenta Watarai, Alien Magma used the Spark Doll on his own and trying to use Zetton's power to destroy Japan. However, both Chigusa and Kenta use Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga to battle the destroyer in space.
Ultraman Ginga S
Hyper Zetton appeared in Ultraman Ginga S episode 14, as the final MonsLived Kaiju of the series. Originally part of Alien Chibu Exceller's collection, Hyper Zetton's Spark Doll was given to Alien Zetton Berume and challenged Ultraman Ginga and Ultraman Victory to fight him but for some reason, he went to the place where UPG kept their Victorium Cannon instead. Soon Hikaru transformed into Ultraman Ginga and fought him but Zetton had the advantage by using his quick teleportation to avoid Ginga's strikes and striking back quickly. Soon Ginga transformed into Ginga Strium and fired his Specium Ray at him but Zetton absorbed it and fired it back at him.
Ultraman X
Zetton returns in this series as himself and another variant of himself, Cyber Zetton. Zetton first appeared fighting Ultraman X in his Cyber Eleking armor when that didn't work, X switched to his Cyber Gomora armor but not even that was enough to stop Zetton as he countered back with his super strength and Zetton Shutter. After he was attacked by Xio's Sky Musketty and Ultlaser, however, instead of finishing off X, he vanished. Suddenly, after Xio successfully created the Cyber Zetton Cyber Card with Zetton's Spark Doll, Zetton reappeared in area T-8 and X reappeared as well to fight him.
Ultraman Orb
Two variations of Zetton reappears in the new series, Ultraman Orb, as a King Demon Beast Maga-Zetton and Hyper Zetton Deathscythe. While not the original Kaiju itself, a Zetton Kaiju Card was used alongside Pandon to create Zeppandon. Maga-Zetton was one of the King Demon Beasts spawned by Maga-Orochi, and had the attribute of Light. It was sealed by Ultraman some time ago. As Gai journeyed to Rusalka due to signs of a King Demon Beast's revival, Maga-Zetton's presence had caused abnormal sun rays, the tundra's ice begins to melt, causing monsters to awaken as well. After acquiring cards of Kingsaurus II, C.O.V., and Pris-Ma, Jugglus Juggler released Maga-Zetton as it wreaked havoc at the forest, Gai transformed into Orb to fight it.
Ultra Fight Orb
Hyper Zetton reappeared in this mini series where he was revived by Reibatos, alongside Vict Lugiel, King Joe, Birdon, Gudon, and Twin Tail, to fight Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Zero on Planet Yomi. He teamed up with Gudon and Twin Tail to take down Zero, but the Ultra proved to be greater challenge for him despite having all three of them outnumbered. Hyper Zetton's exceptional strength and speed didn't help him in all in this case because both Zero and Orb have dealt with Zetton like him before and matched him equally in battle. Because of this, Hyper Zetton ended getting destroyed by Orb Hurricane Slash's Big Bang Thrust and an energized slash from Luna-Miracle Zero's Ultra Zero Lance.
