"Its appearance does look like the Oil Monster Pestar that Ultraman had fought before, but its body height surpasses that of 1,000 meters. Outfitted with full set of armor and weaponry, this monster clearly looks like an annihilation weapon."

―Ultraman Taiga.

Pestria (ペストリア, Pesutoria) is a gigantic mecha based on Pestar and one of the Monster Battleships in the Gua Army's possession. Unlike its other brethren, who get to appear in the live action series, Pestria only appeared in magazines and also appeared (not mentioned by name) in the Tri-Squad VoiceDrama.

History[]

Ultra Brothers Story: Andro Melos[]

In the June 1982 issue of Televi-Kun magazine, Pestria was piloted by Juda to invade Planet Epu, kidnapping the Alien Epu residents through the deployed Pesda Crews and turn the captured aliens into cyborg slaves under the Gua Army. When Andro Melos appeared and fought both the Pesda Crew and brainwashed Alien Epus, Pestria retreated from the scene.[1][2]

Tri-Squad VoiceDrama[]

A Pestria under Gua's command was sent to Planet Maijii to execute Imbiza, and fought against Taiga and Andro Ares. After surviving Ares' Cosmo Aura, Pestria captured the Andro Super Warrior with the Anti-Gravity Net, but Taiga obliterated it with his newly developed Ultra Beam, Strium Blaster, at full power.

Trivia[]

  • In the duration of the Voice Drama, Pestria's name isn't explicitly stated and is only referred to as "a Monster Battleship appearing similar to Pestar". Page 80 of Ultraman Taiga Super Complete Works magazine acknowledges that Pestria was the Monster Battleship under Imbiza's "command".
    • The one described by Taiga in the Voice Drama has different features, such as the black home cannons being on Pestria's mouth and its body being covered with all sorts of armor and weaponry. It is possible that this Pestria is a variant of the one that first appeared in the 1982 Televi-Kun magazines.
