Biology

Known as UB Adhesive, it is an Ultra Beast that appeared from an Ultra Wormhole. It might be a dangerous alien here, but it is apparently a common organism where it normally lives. In fact, it is well enough liked in its home world to be chosen as a first partner.

It cackles loudly as it sprays everything with adhesive poison from the needles on its head.
