Pigmon (ピグモン Pigumon?) was a monster who appeared in the fictional superhero show Ultraman. His name comes from the word pygmy, as he is the size of a human child, unlike the rest of the show's enormous monsters.

[edit] Ultraman
Pigmon first appeared as a resident of the "monster lawless zone," an island infested with giant monsters including Red King. Pigmon had saved a Japanese scientist stationed on the island and led members of the Science Patrol to his location when they arrived to perform a rescue operation. Pigmon ended up being crushed in an avalanche caused by Red King. He appeared again later to warn the Science Patrol that Geronimon was raising a monster army to wipe out the human race. Whether this was the same Pigmon brought back to life by Geronimon (as were the other monsters) or simply another member of the same race is unknown. He is again killed by Dorako.
