Surprise! A Monster Has Fallen (びっくり！怪獣が降ってきました Bikkuri! Kaijū ga futte kimashita) is the twentieth episode of Ultraman Taro.

Plot

Kotaro, Kenichi, and Saori are spending their summer in Shinshu. While enjoying fireworks at night, a young monster, Raidron, flies by space overheard with its mother. Lured by the display, the younger monster flies down into the flames, where it is badly burned. Searching for its child, the monster’s mother cries out like thunder and illuminates the area with lightning, as well as calling down rain to keep its child hydrated. Kotaro informs ZAT of these strange events and begins to search for their source.
