==History==
===Ultraman Ace===
====Generation I====
Yapool's first Terrible-Monster to attack Earth, Verokron was unleashed upon the planet, attacking a power plant and a nearby suburb with his numerous array of weapons. Despite opposition from jets that opened fire on him, Verokron used his arsenal to obliterate them with ease. During his attack, Verokron killed two humans known as Seiji Hokuto and Yuko Minami, who were rescuing people during the attack. Impressed with their sacrifices, the Ultra Brothers sent their newest member, Ultraman Ace to merge with the two humans. In response to Verokron's attack on earth, TAC was formed to fight it and Minami and Hokuto were among them.
A few days later Yapool released Verokron again, this time in the middle of Tokyo. Resuming its onslaught, Verokron was soon met by TAC, who came to stop his reign of terror. TAC attacked the monstrous bio-weapon, but their assaults did nothing to the monster and it was quick to return fire, shooting down some of their jets with his organic missiles. Even after discovering Verokron's weak spot inside his mouth, Verokron quickly recovered and shot down Hokuto's jet with its flames. After the Ultra Rings signaled the time, Hokuto and Minami touched rings, transforming into Ultraman Ace for the first time. At first, Ace had the upper hand, by outmaneuvering the kaiju, shrugging off his missiles, and dodging his hand blast. However the tables were turned, when Verokron attacked Ace with his fire breath. Verokron then used his capture rings to ensnare Ace and weaken him with his finger tip beams. Before Ace could recover, Verokron charged at him, knocking Ace down. While the hero tried to get up, Verokron continued to smack the him down. Verokron then began to stomp the hero into the dirt. Ace's timer began to blink! Verokron roared as it seemed he was about to win the battle. However Ace managed to break free. Ace used his Punch Laser to shoot Verokron in the mouth. After tossing the Terrible-Monster over head, Ace used the Metalium Beam, striking Verokron in the forehead, ultimately killing the Terrible-Monster.
=====Trivia=====
*Designer: Akihiko Iguchi
*Suit actor: Toru Kawai
*Verokron's roar is a modified Rodan's roar.
*Verokron was originally going to attack Hiroshima, but due to the city still being in a sensitive state due to the bombing from World War II, the set was changed to resemble that of Fukuyama City.
*Keiji Takamine (actor of Seiji Hokuto) stated that Verokron is his favorite Ultra Kaiju.
*On episode 40 of Ultraman Taro, during the documentary of Ultraman Ace, this Verokron reused Muruchi's roar.
*Verokron, via stock footage, appears in the 1984 Sought Korean film The Flying Monster (released in the US as War of the God Monsters). Unlike all the other monsters featured in the narrative, Verokron seems to be a fictional nightmare creature from Sohee's fever dream.
====Generation II====
In episode 48, another Verokron appeared known as .
Yapool later schemed his vengeance on Hokuto, who was now the sole host of Ace now that Minami had left after countless failure of his plans. He disguised himself as a female dentist and tried to make Hokuto to go insane by placing a spell on his teeth while he was given dental care, causing Verokron II to appear only in front of his eyes everywhere. After Hokuto saw several delusions of Verokron II that are not seen by anyone else, he took action by himself. He was fired from TAC for his unwarranted assault on what they did not see.
Without Hokuto in TAC anymore, Yapool felt satisfied to unleash the real Verokron II to attacked a city. Now realizing the truth, TAC arrived and fired on the Terrible-Monster, but to no avail. Hokuto transformed into Ultraman Ace and began to fight Verokron II. Verokron II pulled the first attack by releasing its fire breath. Ace dodged the fire breath and began to attack Verokron II by twisting his hand and punching him in the face. Verokron II retaliated by firing his missiles, only for Ace to dodge them. Verokron II seemed physically weaker than original thus allowing ace to effortlessly pound the Terrible-Monsters into submission with a barrage of punches, kicks and slams. Ace began to taunt the Terrible-Monster by assuming a sumo wrestler pose. A provoked Verokron II charged forward, only to be knocked down. Verokron II soon rose back to his feet and tore a piece of a nearby building. Then he and Ace proceeded to throw it back and forth at each other. Eventually Ace threw the building at Verokron II's mouth, causing it to detonate. Verokron II retaliated by releasing a foam that weakened Ace. Verokron II laughed as Ace fell to his knees and had trouble getting back up. Fortunately, the hero overcame the effects of the foam and began to beat the Terrible-Monsters senseless. Ace than tore off Verokron II's snout horns and impaled the Terrible-Monsters's chest with them.
=====Trivia=====
*Suit actor: 
*As opposed to the original Verokron appearance, Verokron II is green instead of black. It no longer possesses any missile placed sockets on its belly, and also possesses a tail whereas the original lacked a tail. Verokron II possessed the ability to enter the dreams of his victims. And last but not least, the red missile carrel on Verokron II covers his whole back while the original only possessed it on his shoulders, head, and lower spine.
*The Machless suit was modified into Verokron II's costume.
*The suit of Verokron II in Taro was reused for Remodeled Verokron's appearance. It should also be noted of the suit's deterioration that Verokron II's suit was put through many attractions at the time, hence's the suit's battered appearance.
===Ultraman Taro===
Verokron II reappeared in episode 30 of the series Ultraman Taro as , also known as Verokron III.
After Reconstructed Bemstar was starting to lose to Ultraman Taro, Yapool summoned weaker versions of his Terrible-Monsters, Sabotendar and Verokron II to help it. However, they were no match for Taro's might and ZAT's assaults. In the end, Remodeled Verokron was destroyed by ZAT's weapons.
====Trivia====
*Unlike its first appearance, Remodeled Verokron has a reused Gorbagos' roar.
**However, in New Ultraman Retsuden, he retains his classic modified Rodan roar.
*Being a weaker version of his past self, Remodeled Verokron possesses no weapons of any sort.
*Remodeled Verokron uses the exact same suit as the original Verokron II with no differing features. But the suit still looks different due to being overworked for live stage shows after Ace's broadcast.
*Remodeled Verokron was the first Second Generation monster to be revived.
===Ultraman Mebius===
Verokron reappeared in episode 26 of the series Ultraman Mebius.
The third and final Terrible-Monster sent by Yapool to return to Earth, Verokron appeared out of the sky from the same dimension that Vakishim and Doragory emerged from, first attacking GUYS's Captain Shingo Sakomizu before disappearing. Days later, Verokron reappeared near GUYS's HQ while they were developing a new weapon. GUYS attacked Verokron but with no success. Suddenly, GUYS noticed that Yapool was trying to break through and invade Earth too! Ultraman Mebius appeared to face Verokron while GUYS tried to get rid of Yapool's portal. Verokron put up a good fight, but ultimately Mebius destroyed him with his Mebium Shoot, as GUYS used its new weapon to close the nearly open dimension for good, preventing any more of Yapool's Terrible-Monster from appearing again.
====Trivia====
*This episode was later featured in episode 70 of Ultraman Retsuden, "Flying to Tomorrow! Mebius vs. Verokron!!".

As it seemed Gomora was gaining the upper hand, a Doragory came onto the scene to assist the other Terrible-Monster by attacking Gomora. Rei summoned Eleking to even the odds for Gomora by having him battle Doragory. With the odds now evened, Verokron and Gomora continued their fight. Verokron gained the upper hand by assaulting Gomora with a barrage of missiles. However, ZAP intervened by firing a laser into into the weak spot in Verokron's mouth.

With Sho out of commission, Hikaru Raido transformed into Ultraman Ginga to stop them. After the latter transforming into Ginga Strium, Verokron fired a couple of missiles at him and, despite Ginga dodging them, managed to put him on the ropes. Verokron then noticed the UPG and dodged their fire by duplicating instantly due to Vorst's cloning ability. Despite his injury from earlier, Sho re-transformed into Victory to help Ginga. Verokron then fired his missiles at him but Shepherdon appeared at the last minute, protecting him, and sent Verokron flying with his Shepherdon Victorium Flash. Verokron then duplicated himself and fired his missiles at the defenseless kaiju, the latter then transforming into a Spark Doll. Both Verokron and Doragory were defeated when Ginga fired his Ginga Spark Lance at them and then Victory slashed them with his new Shepherdon Saber.
