Alien Pedan

**Alien Pedan** appeared in 1968 TV series called *Ultraseven*. Alien Pedan (ペダン星人 *Pedan Seijin*) is an alien race from *Ultraseven*. Despite their advance in technology, they are also warmongers who would either protect their planet or bent on conquering others for invasion purposes.

After an observation rocket sent by TDF to Planet Pedan was mistaken as an invasion attempt, the people of Pedan began retaliate by first sending off their threat to Washington. In the present day, they secretly arrived and kidnapped the American scientist Dorothy Anderson who was on her way to Japan, replacing her with an impostor and destroy identification documents of her escort Melvin Webb. "Dorothy" soon made her way to Japan and assassinate three other foreign scientists that went undercover before taking refuge in Ultra Garrison. After the submarine escort Arthur was destroyed, "Dorothy" escaped when Melvin exposed her and left King Joe to attack the Defense Center in Rokko Mountains.

The next day, Dan Moroboshi confronted "Dorothy" and try to clarify the true intentions of the Earthlings. Seeing through his true nature, she complies and return the original Dorothy amnesiac but double crosses the deal after taking a liking towards Earth's beauty and wanted to take it as their own. The Earth agent already made their move by having King Joe attack the Kobe pier while a troop of spaceships were already on their way. Dan participated and fought as Seven after being duped by the Pedan spy. After King Joe's destruction by the Ryton R30 Bomb (manufactured with the real Dorothy's help), the Pedan agents try to escape with a saucer until Seven gunned them, forcing the rest of the invasion fleets to retreat.

Alien Pedan are mentioned in episode 11 of *Ultraman X*. After King Joe lands on Earth and begins assaulting the planet, Guruman theorizes that King Joe is being owned by a group of Alien Pedan, after it is discovered that King Joe's armor has been reinforced with Pedanium.

An Alien Pedan reappears in this series as an AIB agent. He, along with his colleagues watched the activities of Kei Fukuide from the AIB base. When Kei discovered them observing him, he destroyed the field agent's disguising device and compromised the mission, leading to the control panel where the alien stood to malfunction.

A Pedan was one of the aliens Homare Souya had to fight before his days at EGIS.

In episode 17, a few Pedan thugs hunted down Alien Semon Meed, who had stolen a monster-controlling device they had made. Meed went to EGIS to escort him as he knew he was being hunted down, and needed to reach his contact. The Pedans eventually caught up with him, starting a brawl between them and the EGIS members. Kirisaki also killed one of the Pedan thugs and stole their blaster, which he then later used to "accidentally" kill Meed during his arrest.
