    , Pandon's design was changed the most over the course of the Ultra series. His original design in Ultraseven was a red monster with two fingers, two toes and a short tail. He had a long neck covered in a spike-like texture and his two heads were on opposite sides at the top of his neck, they had beaks and their eyes were small and black. His design as Neo Pandon changed into having two separate heads but keeping his red color and neck texture. His head however was different, his eyes were wide and cartoony-looking and his face look more bird-like. His design as King Pandon beared some resemblance to his Heisei design, but his tail was increased in length and his eyes, beaks, claws, and toenails were yellow.
  • Pandon's superpowers have also significantly changed over the course of the series. His original superpower was to breath a stream of super-hot fire that could set deserts on fire. His powers as King Pandon changed to spiting weak fireballs and firing a blue/purple energy ray from his mouths.
  • Pandon's Beta design before his current Showa design called for the monster to have two separate heads that lacked any texture in his necks, that design would be incorporated into the design Pandon had used in the Heisei series and the 8 Brothers film.
