Pestar (ペスター, Pesutā) alternatively known as "Pester" is a monster that first appeared in Ultraman.

  • Subtitle: Oil Beast (油獣, Yujū)

History[]

Ultraman[]

Pestar was a monster who had been preying on oil refineries in the Middle East until its hunger for oil soon brought the monster to Japan, where it began attacking boats. Eventually, the monster was spotted by a drunk man and later the Science Patrol, who planned to have Pestar destroyed before it could attack Japan's refinery next. With the help of the Defense Force dropping several barrels of gasoline to lure the monster out, Pestar was baited into a trap, and the Science Patrol attempted to attack while it was feeding on oil. The first attack failed due to Pestar's speed, but as the monster resurfaced to resume feeding, Ide misfired on it by accident, which provoked Pestar into using its flames to set fire to the gasoline. As it headed straight for the refinery, Pestar set everything in its path ablaze with its flames, causing a massive oil fire. However, Ide managed to fix his mistake by firing at the exposed monster's stomach. Pestar was mortally wounded by the attack and collapsed, unable to move. Despite being too weak to fight though, Pestar was still alive and as Ultraman arrived to wash away the massive fire that was started from the monster's attack, Pestar attempted to fight by blasting Ultraman with his flames. Ultraman however only responded by hitting Pestar with his Spacium Beam, killing the monster without any trouble.[1][Oil S.O.S.]

Pestar made a brief appearance as one of the many Spark Dolls who were transformed into monsters after being exposed to the Ultra Flare event from Ultraman X's and Greeza's battle.[2] Pestar was briefly seen attacking some power lines in an unknown Arab Nation.[A Voice From the Starry Sky]

Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad[]

A Pestar that was infected by a Devil Splinter was engaged in battle with Ultraman Fuma on Planet Liquitor. Thanks to the ultra's super speed and abilities, the monster was no match for Fuma, and Pestar was quickly destroyed by his Polar-Star Light Wave Shuriken. Unfortunately for Fuma though, Pestar's Devil Splinter was also sought after by Gina Spectre.
