Black Pigeon

is an avian Terrible-Monster created by Yapool. He appeared in episode 18 of Ultraman Ace. While on-screen, Black Pigeon appears to be the transformed state of a pet pigeon named , some sources claim Yapool actually created Black Pigeon by transplanting the bird's brain into a bird-like space monster. In any case, Yapool's plan required using the bird, though Black Pigeon proved to be more unpredictable than even Yapool himself expected.

==History==
===Ultraman Ace===
Using a small boy's pigeon named Kojiro as their personal test subject, Yapool transformed the harmless Kojiro into a ferocious Terrible-Monster. The avian monster was unleashed on Japan and was opposed by TAC. Black Pigeon immediately went on the offensive, rampaging through a construction site before smashing several apartment buildings to pieces. Yapool, however, was furious, as his monster was attacking mindlessly without following his orders, and so he recalled the monster back to his dimension.
Some time later, the boy, who knew Black Pigeon was Kojiro, attempted to call him to a harbor, and Black Pigeon appeared again. The Terrible-Monster spat out jets of flame and unleashed hurricane-force winds by flapping his wings. As TAC was about to be burned by Black Pigeon's fire, Hokuto and Minami called on Ultraman Ace to fight the Terrible-Monster. The Terrible-Monster and the hero clashed, and it was clear that Black Pigeon had the upper hand, whacking Ace around with his chest spike and spewing his regurgitation fluid at him, then following up with his fire.
As the fight continued, Ace's energy began to wane as Black Pigeon used every extent of his abilities on the hero. After Black Pigeon discarded his chest spike, Ace used the opportunity to fire his Metalium Ray at Black Pigeon, seemingly defeating the monster, but this was not the case. After quivering for a moment, Black Pigeon shot the energy back in the form of a purple beam which struck Ace, leaving the hero in bouts of pain! TAC could only look on in horror as Black Pigeon closed in and began relentlessly beating Ace, who was so badly injured by the assault that he was left briefly unable to stand after climbing out of the harbor. 
Immediately knowing what to do, the boy used his pigeon whistle to call Black Pigeon again, who stood to attention. Realising this was perhaps his final chance, Ace got up, and while Black Pigeon was distracted by the whistle, shot him in the back with his Diamond Beam. Black Pigeon turned around to face Ace, but then fell limp, and his eyes closed for the final time as he breathed his last. Afterwards, Black Pigeon reverted back to Kojiro, but remained dead. TAC then held a funeral for the bird, while the boy blew the whistle for the final time to honour the fallen creature.
====Trivia====
*In an alternate story written by Mamoru Uchiyama, instead of dying, Black Pigeon was revived as an ordinary pigeon after being defeated by Ace, essentially resurrecting Kojiro.
*Black Pigeon is a heavily modified Cowra suit.
*Black Pigeon's roars combine various pigeon sounds and Rodan's screeches.
==Data==
:;Stats
*Height: 57 m
*Weight: 43,000 t
*Origin: Yapool's Alternate Dimension
*Weakness: Due to Black Pigeon's creation from Kojiro, a trained homing pigeon, Black Pigeon will stop whatever he is doing and stand to attention whenever the pigeon whistle that was used to call him is used. This leaves Black Pigeon vulnerable for a brief period of time.
:;Powers and Weapons
*Extreme Strength: Even when flying, Black Pigeon can lift heavy objects and move without it visibly slowing him down. He is also extremely capable in hand-to-hand combat, using his long arms and claw-like hands to whale on opponents and beat them down at a rapid pace.
*Flames: Black Pigeon can emit flames from his beak.
*Regurgitation: Black Pigeon can spit a viscous white fluid (which is probably Crop milk or stomach acid) from his mouth at the opponent, which paralyses them for a short period of time. This fluid seems to be dissipated by fire.
*: Black Pigeon has a large spike on his chest which he can use as a bludgeoning weapon. Black Pigeon can also use this spike as an explosive projectile, ejecting it from his body and sending it in an arc towards the opponent where it explodes on contact with the ground or nearby objects.
*Energy Beam Reflector: After being hit by an energy beam from an opponent, Black Pigeon can focus and reflect the energy back towards the target in the form of a light purple energy beam shot from the location of his Missile Thorn. This reflected beam is surprisingly powerful, as when it was used on Ace, the Ultra was left reeling in pain, allowing Black Pigeon to close the distance and begin beating him down.
*Hurricane Winds: Black Pigeon can create hurricane force winds from his wings.
*Flight: Black Pigeon can fly at low speeds.
