Pickle the Monster With Salt! (怪獣を塩漬にしろ！, Kaijū o Enshi ni Shiro!) is the forty-third episode of Ultraman Taro.

Plot[]

An alien who aims to drain Vitamin C from Earth is shot down by ZAT. It leaves behind a small creature that manages to make its way to a lonely boy’s house. The boy, Takeshi, immediately befriends the being, which looks like a small alligator. Takeshi feeds the hungry alien creature with vegetables from his store and names it. Motokureon quickly grows to a monstrous size and begins attacking trucks carrying vegetables to get more food.
