History
Thawing out from Antarctica (possibly for the first time in centuries,) Pris-Ma was quickly on the move, absorbing any matter that came in its path. It first absorbed a Light House and its owner in its hunger, which sparked some interest in MAT over how to handle the situation. Goh elsewhere encountered the object himself while traveling with a friend who tried to take matters into their own hands. Pris-ma however, attracted to the light being given off by their weapons and vehicle retailiated by trying to absorb them as well. Goh transformed into Ultraman Jack to battle the object himself, but Pris-Ma's rock hard structure and texture made Jack's attacks futile. Pris-Ma then fought back with its light attacks, confusing and tricking Jack into flailing around in confusion. Unfortunately just as Jack regained control of the battle, the sun arose and Pris-Ma disappeared into the clouds.

Learning of Jack's failure to stop the object, MAT tried to take matters into their own hands. They set up a trap for Pris-Ma by luring it into a Baseball Stadium with all its lights on and fog machine blanketing the ground. Pris-Ma was quick to arrive and consume more matter, but even with their trap successful, MAT's weapons were no match for Pris-Ma's sturdy texture. However, MAT did exploit something that Goh noticed about the monster. Once again Goh transformed into Ultraman Jack, but this time he shrunk himself down and flew directly into Pris-Ma's core by willing being absorbed by its tractor beam. Once inside, jack fired his Specium Ray from within the object, destroying Pris-Ma's core and destroying the creature completely.
