Sabotendar

Sabotendar appeared in 1972 TV series called Ultraman Ace. Sabotendar (サボテンダー Sabotenda) was a choju created by Yapool in the TV series, Ultraman Ace. It appeared in episode 12.

One of Yapool's choju, Sabotendar was unleashed in a city where it smashed everything in site, even with TAC and Japan's SDF on the assult. Ultraman Ace was quick to arrive on the scene and both Ultra and Choju battled. Ace's arm was briefly stabbed by the choju in the middle of battle, but backup for Ace came in the form of TAC, who teamed up with the Ultra to attack the choju. However, before it could be finished off, Sabotendar escaped by turning itself into a tiny cactus.

In its Cactus form, it was taken under refuge by an oblivious boy who used the cactus as a pet, feeding it bugs. Eventually, Sabotendar regained its health and resumed its attack on the city. Again, Ultraman Ace and TAC returned to engage Sabotendar in battle into a standstill. Despite revealing some new powers which included its tongue and its ball form, Ace fougth back and caught the cactus monster off guard, hurling it into the air while it was in its ball form and sliced it in half with the Ultra Guillotine, killing Sabotendar.
