Telesdon

Telesdon in Ultraman

A weapon of the Underground People, Telesdon was unleashed to terrorize Tokyo on the surface world, as well as distract the Science Patrol from the Underground People's real plan. The Underground People had captured and attempted to hypnotize Shin Hayata into using Ultraman as their own weapon. However, they underestimated Ultraman's power, as Ultraman's light and energy blinded and killed the Underground People and Ultraman quickly escaped to the surface to fight Telesdon. While Telesdon tried his best, he was of little match for the hero and was beaten to death and finished by Ultraman's Dropped Rock.^{Overthrow the Surface}

Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero

Telesdon, as seen in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero

Telesdon appeared in episode 4 of the series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero as Powered Telesdon , though called Teresdon in the English version.

Much like his original appearance, Telesdon was a natural monster that was put under the control of the Sun People to do their bidding. Once Telesdon's movements were headed towards Los Angeles, WINR quickly went to the scene, but as soon as the sun rose, Telesdon fled underground to avoid being blinded by the sun's light. Soon, a game of "cat and mouse" is set up to lure Telesdon to the surface to be blinded by natural lights, but the trick doesn't work as Telesdon was not weak against other forms of light. After a scuffle with the Underground People, Kenichi Kai turned into Ultraman Powered and went to the surface to fight Telesdon. As Powered and Telesdon were fighting, WINR attempted to blind the creature with magnesium flares. After the flares were fired in Telesdon's face, Powered used the Mega Spacium Beam to destroy him. ^{The Dark Past}

Trivia

• Telesdon is changed for this series.
• Unlike the original version, this version of Telesdon does not possess any abilities.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle

Telesdon, as seen in Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle

Shortly after landing on Planet Boris, ZAP SPACY surveyed the area, searching for any sign of life. Not long after, Telesdon emerged from the ground. Also appearing was a stray Sadola and shortly after the two monsters battled to a standstill. Their fight however, attracted the attention of a Red King, who interfered in the battle and easily beat down both Telesdon and Sadola, managing to choke Sadola to death. When Red King was distracted by ZAP SPACY's appearance, Telesdon recovered and blindsided Red King, continuing their battle, but ZAP SPACY chose not to watch this time in fear of another monster attacking them.^{The Lawless Monster Planet}

During Golza's attack on ZAP SPACY, Telesdon returned having survived the fight with Red King, and the monster closed in on ZAP SPACY dangerously. Luckily, Rei arrived on the scene and sent Gomora and Litra to deal with both monsters. As Litra distracted Golza, Gomora battled with Telesdon in a beam battle with Telesdon's flames and Gomora's Ultra Oscillation Wave. Ultimately, Telesdon was overpowered and killed by Gomora's attack.^{The Fifth Crewman}

Later on, Telesdon as well as Red King and Neronga are all revived by the bizzare monster, Bullton, to do battle against Rei and ZAP SPACY. Telesdon teams up with Neronga to double team Gomora, but despite the odds, Gomora outsmarts Telesdon into killing Neronga with his own flames, as well as weakening Bullton's dimensional powers before killing Telesdon again with the Ultra Oscillation Wave by sticking it into Telesdon's body and destroying Telesdon's insides in Gomora's usual manner.^{The Stone Which Calls Monsters}

Trivia

• Telesdon and Sadola's battle in the beginning was to pay homage to their "battle" in Return of Ultraman, with Telesdon replacing Detton.
• During the opening credits to the series, Telesdon is seen battling Neronga, even though both monsters worked together when they were revived by Bullton.
• In this series, Telesdon is shown able to resist sunlight, which the original one isn't capable of. It is possible that this Telesdon was adapted through time to resist it.
• Telesdon's roar is later used for the Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus in the second season of the anime "Dinosaur King", though it is not present in the English dub.
• Telesdon as well as Sadola and Red King were referenced by the Spark Dolls Troupe in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 16 to demonstrate the "rampaging hordes of monsters" living on Planet Boris. He also makes another appearance in this episode alongside Golza fighting Gomora and Litra.

Telesdon belonged to an Alien Zetton and was sent to battle Alien Hook's Re-Dorako. The two Kaiju battled back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand on each other but right as Dorako was gaining the upper hand, a blast of energy from a King Joe Black obliterated both him and Telesdon.^{The New Horizon of War}

Trivia

When Vittorio time traveled to Planet Hammer, 50 years in the past, he witnessed the fight between the Telesdon controlled by Alien Zetton Reionics against Jirahs.

A Telesdon was part of the Space Alliance Army that was assigned to fight against EX Zetton and preventing Alien Reiblood's resurrection at all cost. Telesdon joined Gudon and Bemstar in holding EX Zetton in place for Alien Hipporit to entrap the monster with Hipporit Capsule and petrify it with Hipporit Tar. Unfortunately EX Zetton escaped when Reiblood possessed the monster to provide additional boost and killed off all of the Space Alliance Army with several Trillion Meteors. When Ai Asama and Io confronted Reiblood/EX Zetton with Gomora and Red King, Reiblood responded by resurrecting the Space Alliance Army as his reinforcements. Ultraman and Ultraseven arrived just in time to even the odds, the former putting up a barrier to prevent the alliance army from advancing. With Reiblood/EX Zetton eliminated, the resurrected army had their spirits ascended to the Monster Graveyard.

Ultraman X

Telesdon was among the Spark Dolls that slumbered beneath the Earth and ocean and awakened after a solar flare bathed the Earth.

15 years later, it created a series of earthquakes in Area T-7B, with the biggest one in Kamikura Street, prompting Xio to investigate the case. When they did, they encountered the Underground Woman who summoned Telesdon with her screech and sent him to the surface to rampage and soon encountered the Land Musketty. He tried to burn it alive but after the vehicle released some flares, Telesdon released its grip on it and retreated back underground.

The next night, the Underground Woman summoned Telesdon to rampage again. After protecting Asuna Yamase, Daichi Oozora transformed into Ultraman X to fight Telesdon. X had the upper hand at first, but then Telesdon used his environment and his new moves to get the edge on the Ultra until Hayato and Wataru used the new Ultlaser to save him. Rui and Mamoru then sent Cyber Eleking's data to X allowing him to gain the Eleking Armor. After countering Telesdon's drill attack with the whips produced from the armor, X finished off Telesdon with the Eleking Electric Shockwave and it turned into a Spark Doll as a result. The Spark Doll was salvaged by the Underground Woman, but she left it to Xio after vanishing due to being shot multiple times.^{A Song That Calls the Night}

A cybernetic version of Telesdon, Cyber Telesdon was created based on the Spark Doll, now contained in a Cyber Card. In episode 4, Hayata and Wataru used the Cyber Telesdon card sent by Rui and Mamoru to equip the Space Musketty with Telesdon's lava breath to save X from Bemstar.^{All for One}

In the final episode of Ultraman X, after Greeza destroyed the Xio base, Telesdon's Spark Doll was absorbed by Greeza. After speaking out to Gomora and striking Greeza right in the center of his chest, Telesdon, along with all of the other Spark Dolls, traveled to X and united with him. Cyber Telesdon's power was used to help form the Hybrid Armor and power up the Ultimate Xanadium to defeat Greeza once and for all. Telesdon, along with the numerous other Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls, then appeared and thanked Daichi as he thanked them.^{The Rainbow Land}

Trivia

• Suit actor: Kazunori Yokoo
• The Telesdon suit from Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle was reused for Telesdon's appearance in the series.
• Scriptwriter Nakano Takao deliberately chose to add Telesdon to episode 3 as contrast to the previous episode's Kaiju Birdon, a flying kaiju.
  • He also said that the idea of Telesdon's drill attack is based off of the creatures from the Tremors franchise.
• Kiyotaka Taguchi approved of the drill formation idea as he believed it showed Telesdon could still be a powerful foe.
• In episode 16, he's seen with Gomess (S)'s Spark Doll in a mini version of their underground habitat.

Ultraman Orb

Telesdon appeared in episode 2 of Ultraman Orb as a Kaiju Card, used by Jugglus Juggler with his Dark Ring as part of his plan of waking up Maga-Grand King. ^{The Lord of Earth}

He reappeared physically in episode 9, where he emerged from underground to fight Alien Babarue Babaryu who was disguised as Ultraman Orb as part of a plan from the Planet Invasion Union. While the pseudo-Ultra was busy arguing with Alien Mefilas Nostra, Telesdon started the fight. First by head-butting him and then trying to attack him with his beak, but "Orb" barely caught the attack while protecting two kids that were left behind. After enduring a flame attack from the monster, Babaryu had enough and decided to fight Telesdon for real by putting him in a hold and pummeled him with his fists until he knocked him down to the ground. Afterwards, Telesdon escaped and burrowed away while the alien in disguise threatened him to get out and stay out. ^{The Impostor Blues}

Telesdon returned in episode 24, along with Gomess, Demaaga, and Magatano-Orochi. In the beginning of the episode, he, Demaaga, and Gomess, rise from underneath Tokyo, but before they could attack, Orb appears in his Hurricane Slash form. However, as he says his catchphrase, and the three monsters gather to start the fight, suddenly, Gomess, Demaaga and Telesdon, all fall to the ground, dead. Orb feels Telesdon's hand for a pulse, but feels nothing but skin. Shocked by the deaths of the three monsters, Ultraman Orb closed Telesdon's eyes and stared at the corpses around him. ^{The Giga Lord Monster Strikes Back}

Trivia

• The Telesdon suit from Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle is reused for Telesdon's appearance in the series.

Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi

Ultraman Z

"That... How did Jirahs' frills...?!"

―Yuka Ohta

Telesdon rose to the surface from the underground due to humans building an underground geofront, causing Telesdon to rampage due to excessive noise. STORAGE sortied to deal with the monster, with Yoko Nakashima piloting Sevenger, and Haruki Natsukawa and Yuka Ohta in the STEGG. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to stop Telesdon as Sevenger's attacks were ineffective, and the other two could not distract Telesdon long enough to have it chase them elsewhere. Telesdon buried underground and escaped after destroying a siren, with Shinya Kaburagi watching as the whole event unfolded. Yuka managed to obtain Telesdon skin samples from Sevenger's hands, as the robot had gripped onto the monster.

Transformed into Erimaki-Telesdon

Telesdon re-emerged soon after, causing more havoc. Sevenger was sent again with Haruki piloting, but once again its attacks proved ineffective. After getting knocked over, Haruki transformed into Ultraman Z Beta Smash to fight, but was still having trouble against the monster's drill attack. Luckily, Yuka managed to find a way to power up Windom in time to assist Z, being able to beat the monster down. Shinya Kaburagi showed up with Jirahs' Kaiju Medal and fed it to Telesdon, restoring its energy and granting it a frill that gave it extra powers, becoming Erimaki-Telesdon , who was able to turn the tide against Z and Windom. Z changed to Alpha Edge to dodge its energy bullets, while Windom proceeded to tear off its frill. Telesdon was destroyed by the Zestium Beam and Windom's rocket barrage.

Jirahs' Kaiju Medal appeared and floated towards Haruki. It disintegrated in his hand after Z confirmed that it was not made on the Land of Light.^{Robot-2 Activation Plan}

Trivia

• According to Yuka, this Telesdon is faster than a breed they previously documented, suggesting that it's not the first one mankind has ever encountered.
• Coincidentally, it appeared in the same episode number as Powered Telesdon in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.
• Upon transformation, Erimaki-Telesdon emits Jirahs' roar before it returned to its original one.
• In place of Erimaki-Telesdon, it was originally planned to be Demaaga, who would evolve into Tsurugi Demaaga upon being fed with a Kaiju Medal. While the plan is scrapped, Demaaga appeared much later in episode 23.

Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

Telesdon, along with Gomora, Pagos, and Arstron, were awoken from their slumber when the Eternity Core became unstable after Carmeara used its power to transform into Megalothor.^{The Ruler of Shadows}

Telesdon as it appears in Ultraman Decker.

While Ultraman Decker struggled to fight Gudon and Pagos, the brawl was interrupted by a stream of flames from a Telesdon, who, backed by a colony of Twin Tail, attempted to join the fray. Seeing how he was vastly outnumbered, Kanata summoned a Dimension Card Monster, Agira to even the odds. Agira made quick work of the advancing Telesdon, destroying it with a super charged Strike Horn.^{Subterranean Monster Appears! And Appears!}

Ultra Fight

Telesdon in Ultra Fight

Telesdon reappeared in Ultra Fight.

• In episode 76, his first appearance on the show, Telesdon fought Ultraseven in a valley and after a long fight, Seven emerged victorious after he threw Telesdon hard on the ground. Before he left, the Ultra covered the Kaiju in dirt as an insult to injury.
• Telesdon reappeared in episode 81, where he fought Alien Godola and was losing the battle due to the alien's cleverness and the latter made it even more confusing for the former as he used his teleporting ability in battle to change locations. Eventually, after multiple tries, Telesdon gave up and collapsed.
• In episode 85, Telesdon went up against Woo in which he put up a good fight, but after a long, evenly matched fight, Telesdon ended up losing to Woo as he ended up getting knocked out cold.
• Telesdon reappeared in 89, where he threw Alien Icarus down a small hill and he soon joined them and engaged him in a fight which mostly involved grappling and throwing each other and rolling down the hills. In the end, Icarus beat Telesdon by throwing him by his tail and then brutally beat him to death.
• In episode 98, Telesdon awoke after Eleking inadvertently kicked a rock towards the the sleeping Kaiju and decided to throw the rock right back at him, only for Ultraseven to catch it and throw it back at him. Telesdon then used that same rock to attack Eleking head-on as he was giving Ultraseven a hard time in a fight. Afterwards, the two Kaiju turned their full attention towards each other and fought each other in an evenly matched brawl. In the end, it looked as though Teleson was going to emerge as the winner as Ultraseven flew away.
• Telesdon reappeared in episode 104, where he, alongside Alien Icarus, took on Ultraseven and they appeared to be losing at first, but they pulled together and managed to gain the upper hand over Seven and forced him to retreat. They then spent the rest of the episode fighting each other and were last seen rolling down a hill holding onto each other.
• In episode 108, Telesdon was confronted by Agira and the two of them decided to fight each other. While Agira proved to be a capable foe, Telesdon gained the upper hand against him later on and then fought Ultraseven when he showed up and let Agira rest. Telesdon then ended up getting defeated by the Ultra as the former was no match for the latter's combat skills.
• Telesdon reappeared in episode 110, where he ambushed Ultraseven and managed to get a hold on him until he broke free and grabbed his tail, threw him, and then proceeded to brutally bash him into a rock until Alien Baltan decided to give him a helping hand. As their fight went on, the monstorus duo proved to a challenge for Ultraseven as they took turns tossing him towards each other and beating him up. However, Baltan bonked Telesdon on the head on purpose, which lead to the two of them fighting each other instead. Once they were weakened, Seven took the opportunity to defeat Telesdon and then Baltan, declaring the Ultra the winner.

Trivia

• The Telesdon suit is the original one, but by this point it had severely deteriorated. The still-deteriorated suit would later be slightly modified for the monster Detton from Return of Ultraman.
• In this series, Telesdon has Zumbolar's roar.

Redman

Telesdon in Redman

Telesdon appeared in the TV series Redman.

Telesdon first appeared in episode 31, where he was seen walking and teleporting with Eleking until coming face to face with Redman. The two of them decided to charge at him from different sides but the hero stopped them in their tracks. After a satisfying fight, Redman killed Telesdon with a few chops to the head followed by a judo throw. After that, he killed Eleking with his Red Knife.

Telesdon reappeared in episode 34 alone where he was wondering through the mountains when Redman teleports behind him resulting in another fight. Redman held the advantage throughout the fight even when it looked like Telesdon appeared to be winning. After tricking it into bashing it's head against a rock, the hero killed Telesdon with a Red Chop to the back of the monster's head.

In episode 59, Redman confronted Telesdon at a sandy beach and brutally assaulted him with a barrage of his chops and throws, despite the monster doing his best to hake him off. After a jump kick to the head, Redman defeated Telesdon with a Red Arrow that spewed out explosions that eventually made him pass out.

Telesdon reappeared in episode 67, where he teamed up with Garamon and had Redman on the ropes right from the start but the hero managed to get them off his back. The three of them then brawled it out on the beach with a lot of throwing, chopping, kicking, and tactics going on. When Redman summoned his Red Arrow, Telsdon caught him and took his Red Arrow away from him so he can use it against him when he was held by Garamon. However, Redman ducked at the last minute and Garamon ended up being the victim of this accidental kill. Outraged, Telesdon fought the hero once more but Redman defeat the monster by judo throwing him while holding his Red Knife.

In episode 74, Telesdon once again teamed up with Eleking to take on Redman and both sides were on equal terms with each other due to their advantages in numbers and combat prowess respectively. However, they did not have the means to put the alien hero down for good. After Eleking was killed by Redman's Red Arrow, Telesdon tried to escape, but he threw the Red Arrow at his back, killing him in the process.

Telesdon's final appearance on the show was in episode 78, where he was seen catching the alien hero's Red Arrow after it was thrown by Dorako. Redman managed to throw that item out of harm's way and resorted to using fisticuffs against the two monsters. Even though it looked like both monsters had Redman on the ropes, Telesdon found himself to be no match for the alien hero even though they held the team advantage against him. Both monsters were eventually defeated after the hero reclaimed his Red Arrow and drove it though their mouths, killing them as a result.
