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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
