Margodon in Ultraman 80

A star freezing alien intent on an assault against humanity was the monster Margodon. Once Margodon came to Tokyo, the mammoth-like monster used his icy mist to cover a large portion of the city in ice. As UGM was about to head out the crew told Takeshi and Ryoko that they knew their secret identities of Ultraman 80 and Yullian. With this in mind, UGM wanted to carry out this fight alone. As the Ultras had all but defeated the Minus Energy threat by destroying its two strongest monsters, Plazma and Minazma, Takeshi and Ryoko accepted UGM's request, and so the mission began.

UGM set off to attack Margodon with their secret weapon, a new freezing gas. With Margodon frozen solid, a giant wrecking ball attached to one of UGM's fighters was swung into Margodon's body, shattering it into pieces. With it now being clear that the Earth was in safe hands, Takeshi and Ryoko enjoyed one more day on Earth before transforming back into 80 and Yullian to make the journey home to the Land of Light. Ah! The Giraffes and Elephants Turned to Ice!!

Margodon/Margoton's concept art

  • Much of Margodon is actually changed from the planning stages. For one, his name was Margoton and had a bulky quadruped dinosaurian appearance with a single large horn. His original episode is also dramatically changed, it having been planned to be a two-parter. Not too many details are known about the planned plot, but what is this:
    • Margoton would have been a beast that sucked energy from whole stars with Earth's solar system being its latest target. He attacks the Earth with 80 and Yulian coming to fight and losing from injuries gained in previous battles. Eventually, they would destroy Margoton with assistance from UGM. Having saved Earth, they leave back for home.
    • The reasons behind Margodon's shorten storyline was that the TV station broadcasting the show wanted to start a new show the week after episode 50. This caused the story to become more compact and Margoton was changed into its current status in the hopes of making it more memorable.
    • Some of the intended abilities were an ice needle strong enough to damage Ultra Armor, "tears" from the tail, a white stream of fire, and an ice mist supposedly powerful enough to freeze an entire star.
    • Strangely, the original plot shares many similarities to Ultraseven's finale, "The Greatest Invasion in History".

The Blue-Eyed Girl Whose Name is Gray[]

In the R/B prequel novel, Margodon was summoned by Balsas Gang as they pursued the original Rosso, Blu, and Grigio up Crusader's Peak on O-50. Its purpose was meant to be a trump card in cold mountain regions. It led the charge up the perilous climb with an army of Balsas mercenaries following it, seeking to get revenge on the siblings for their rivals and boss. Due to not being able to take on the mammoth monster, their only option was to run away and protect their guide Frau.

Near the tip of the mountain, the three planned to sacrifice themselves fighting the army and letting Frau get away. She refused and stayed and as they went down, they met the Voice of Light. They showed it their R/B Gyros to which it awarded each an R/B Crystal for climbing its mighty summit. Ultraman Taro's crystal of Fire was given to Rosso, Ultraman Ginga's crystal of Water to Blu, and strangely the Demon crystal of Grigio Bone to Grigio. While the last was confused, they immediately used them all as if in sequence, the brothers becoming Ultras while Grigio became a monster. After their transformation, they trudged down the rocky path to finally confront their pursuers. Margodon had been waiting as if wanting to actually battle them to the death.

A great battle ensued between the frozen beast and the transformed siblings, the Balsas Gang mercenaries trying to assist their bioweapon. Despite the seemingly stacked odds, the heroes had the upper hand, the ultras using their flight capabilities and beams while Grigio warred more on the elemental grounds with fire against ice. Inevitably, the Margodon was taken down and destroyed along with the army, saving the siblings' lives without real sacrifice.

  • Height: 70 m

  • Origin: Space
Powers and ​Weapons
  • Thermal Energy Absorption: Margodon can absorb thermal energy from a large area around itself, freezing the surrounding landscape in the process. When arriving on Earth, the effect spread through several cities in a short amount of time. It can even absorb the heat from missile attacks, canceling out the explosions. It is theorized by the UGM that Margodon deliberately seeks out warm planets to feed in their heat, leaving them frozen in the process. The effects of this ability will reverse rapidly upon Margodon destruction.
  • Ice Mist: Margodon can emit a cloud of freezing mist from its trunk and body. The mist further reduces the temperature of objects affected by the monster's thermal energy absorption, making them brittle.
  • Space Travel: While not seen in the series, Margodon can traverse space through unknown means.
