History

Ultraman Ginga S

Ultraman Victory fighting Shepherdon

Long ago, Shepherdon was a monster that peacefully coexists with the Victorians and befriended with one of them, Hiyori. However, when a civil war ensued between the use of Victory Lancer, Shepherdon was influenced by the battle and rampaged until a Victorian used the item and becomes Ultraman Victory to stop it. Eventually Shepherdon returns back to its former self but in the aftermath of battle, several Victorians had banished to the other dimension, among them was Hiyori. While the remained ones had their memories forgotten, Shepherdon still regained it.

In modern times Shepherdon lived in harmony with the Victorians, coming to the surface when Alien Chibull Exceller started to steal the Victorian Stones. As the first stone was being taken by Android One Zero, Shepherdon made his attempt to reclaim it but, was attacked by UPG and was forced to retreat while the stone was taken. It appeared again only this time he was too late to grab another one of the stones. Just then Zero One Monslives into the monster, EX Red King. Both monsters would slash and beat each other with their massive arms and hands. EX Red King gets the upper hand when he uses his Flame Road attack and severely injures Shepherdon. Then, Ultraman Victory appears and tell Shepherdon to retreat, leaving the new Ultra, then later Ginga, to fight EX Red King.

Following this, it had resurfaced multiple times, among them were:

• Saving Victory from Gudon. ^{The Meaning of Strength}
• Rescuing its old friend Hiyori (as Gomora) from Ultraman Ginga, allowing her to redeem from her past sins. ^{Past that was Forgotten}
• Forcefully attracted by Gan-Q (Vorst) to have its energy depleted for the creation of Five King. ^{Activate! Magnewave Strategy}

In episode 10, Shepherdon was seen watching Victory bleed as a result of Doragory biting into him and later was using his crystals to help heal Sho. He later went up into the surface to help Sho just as he was about to get by Verokron's missiles and used his Victorium Flash to send him flying. After Verokron duplicated himself, he stood in front of Victory and let himself be hit by his missiles. Seemingly died from the missile, what remains of him turned into a Spark Doll and, after a talk with Queen Kisara, Sho Ultlance it into a Shepherdon Saber and defeat both Verokron and Doragory. ^{Holy Sword to the Future}

Though now mostly supporting Victory as a Spark Doll, Shepherdon's Spark Doll would later be confiscated by Commander Masaki Koyama, to further charge the Victorium Cannon. This however proved to be his downfall when Shepherdon's energy overloaded the cannon until Exceller and his Chiburoids hijacked the base and teleported Koyama and his coworker to the middle of nowhere, claiming the whole base as his while Dark Lugiel fused with the base and formed Vict Lugiel. However, the Spark Doll was retrieved by One Zero, who deliver it to Ultraman Victory.

Trivia

• Just as the Victorians are based on Underground People, Shepherdon may be based on Telesdon.
• His roars are altered from Kelbim's.

Shepherdon reappeared in Ultra Fight Victory when he was revived by Ultraman Victory Knight via the Knight Timbre to fight Lunaticks while Victory dealt with Victory Killer. The two defeated their opponents with powerful beams, before Shepherdon healed Ginga and Ace before turning back into a Spark Doll, knowing that his work here was done.

Victory also UITrans Shepherdon's Spark Doll in Knight Timbre form to summon the Shepherdon Saber, giving him two swords to fight Juda Spectre.
