Ponko-chan ()

History: Ponko-chan was one of Tiger's Eye's female Lemures, whom he summoned forth from his shadow to battle the Sailor Soldiers after he extracted Ami Mizuno's Dream Mirror. Initially appearing to be more amusing than threatening due to her remarkable swallowing and regurgitative capabilities, the sinister side of Ponko-chan's unique talent soon became apparent following a demonstration - the first of many such displays - during which the Sailor Soldiers, Luna, Artemis and Diana learned the hard way that whatever balls the petite monster consumed and subsequently coughed up were, in fact, highly explosive bombs.
                Upon discovering that Pegasus was not hiding in Ami's beautiful dreams, Tiger's Eye ordered the Lemure to eliminate both their opponents as well as his human target, though she was prevented from doing so twice by Tuxedo Mask, first by his causing her to accidentally reswallow a ball she was in the process of regurgitating after surprising her with one of his roses and then - at Ami's suggestion - by throwing his top hat into her open mouth, thereby preventing any further demonstrations of her abilities. During her subsequent struggle to remove the headwear from the orifice into which it had been firmly lodged, Ponko-chan was destroyed by Super Sailor Moon's "Moon Gorgeous Meditation".

Abilities: Aside from being able to emerge from Tiger's Eye's shadow when summoned, Ponko-chan also possessed the power of flight, though her most remarkable skill by far was her ability to swallow several large balls in succession (an action which drastically enhanced her modest cleavage for some strange reason o_o) and selectively regurgitate them - or, more correctly said, force them up and out of an opening at the top of her head - at will, balls which she would then use like the bombs they were by throwing them at her opponents. Failure of her adversaries to correctly guess the color of the sphere she intended to cough up would cause her to upchuck a moderately explosive red one while failure to make a guess at all would cause her to produce a highly explosive blue one. There were apparently no special conditions or requirements for her to make use of either her golden ball (or g-ball) or ultra, super-deluxe golden ball, though, thankfully for the Sailor Soldiers, she never actually got to employ these in battle. 
Paraphernalia: Ponko-chan employed a series of balls of varying colors and sizes while making use of her unique talent. While the red and white ones she initially swallowed seemed harmless enough, those she regurgitated - among them a red one the size of a small bowling ball and a blue one the size of a large medicine ball - were each more explosive than the last. Though never seen, it is presumed that her golden ball (or g-ball) and ultra, super-deluxe, special golden ball were proportionally larger, both in size and sheer detonative power.
