*''[[Godzilla, King of the Monsters (Marvel)|Godzilla, King of the Monsters]]'' #4-5 (1977)
Lepirax appears to have a very developed sense of self-preservation, breaking off combat with stronger foes to seek out easier prey. The crafty moth monster is a relentless foe when certain that it has the upper hand, and will attack relentlessly in such situations. Not very valiant, Lepirax will seek to escape any situation that goes poorly just as quickly as it can.
