At some point in Godzilla's distant past, the rival challenged him for claim of his lair and managed to win out, forcing Godzilla from his home. Countless years later, Godzilla sought out this former lair, determined to reclaim it. However, when he arrived, he found the lair to have a new occupant, the serpentine [[Titan]] [[Tiamat]], who he battled and drove off. Upon proceeding through the lair, Godzilla discovered the skull of his former rival.<br />

'''Ultraman''' {{Nihongo|ウルトラマン|Urutoraman}}, real name '''Lipiah''' {{Nihongo|リピア|Ripia}}, is an alien who appears in the [[2022]] [[Toho]], [[Tsuburaya Productions]], and khara [[:Category:Films|film]] ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''. The character first debuted in the [[1966]] [[Tsuburaya Productions]] series [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman (series)|of the same name]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
As the name implies, "Ultraman" is a combination of the English words "ultra," spelled in Japanese as ''urutora'' {{Nihongo|ウルトラ}}, and "man" {{Nihongo|マン}}. In the original ''Ultraman'' series, Ultraman stated that he had no true name, and Hayata began calling him Ultraman. In ''Shin Ultraman'', he is tentatively classified as Ultraman by the SSSP as a shortening of '''Giant Humanoid Creature Ultraman''' {{Nihongo|巨大人型生物ウルトラマン|Kyodai Hitogata Seibutsu Urutoraman}}. Zoffy at one point refers to him as "'''Lipiah'''" {{Nihongo|リピア|Ripia}}, assumed to be his real name, before correcting himself to Ultraman.<br />
==Development==<br />

==Design==<br />
{{Cleanup}}<br />
Ultraman resembles the third Ultraman suit used in the original series. However, his physique is slender and tall, and the iconic [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Color Timer|Color Timer]] located on his chest is missing, a reference to the original Ultraman design by [[Tohl Narita]].<ref name="ShinUltraman">{{cite web|url=https://shin-ultraman.jp/about/|title=シン・ウルトラマンの姿|work=ShinUltraman.jp|publisher=[[Toho]]|accessdate=14 June 2022|urlstatus=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220424160515/https://shin-ultraman.jp/about/|archivedate=24 April 2022}}</ref> Because he is a CG creation, Ultraman lacks eyeholes for a suit actor to see out of and a dorsal fin to hide the zipper of the suit. His signature chest patterns are thinner and more angular than his original counterpart while the lower "pants" design has an indent at the bottom of each thigh.<br />
<br />
When Ultraman first lands on Earth, his patterns are a silver that is only slightly darker than the rest of his body. His face is modeled after the suit used in the [[1966]] series' first 13 episodes, with a slightly open mouth and an decrepit-seeming appearance.<br />

Ultraman fires his deadly Specium Ray from his right hand, which must be held vertically with his left arm positioned horizontally just below it. The beam was able to destroy [[Neronga]] in a single hit and injured [[Zarab]] to the point that he was forced to shed his Ultraman disguise, but was overpowered by [[Mefilas]]'s own energy attack and failed to breach [[Zetton]]'s shield.<br />
<br />
===Ultra Slash===<br />
Ultraman can conjure the Ultra Slash by bending his arms towards each other and orienting his right to face up. From there, he throws the serrated ring of energy. It is capable of slicing clean through buildings and was able to kill Zarab instantly. Additionally, Ultraman can create a larger variant of the attack that seperates into eight smaller Ultra Slashes. However, Mefilas was able to swat away the Ultra Slash with little issue and Zetton's forcefield completely negated it.<br />

[[File:スクリーンショット-2022-07-01-150427.png|130px|right|thumb|Ultraman 2022 in ''[[Godzilla Battle Line]]'']]<br />
Introduced during the Visitor from the Planet of Light season in July 2022, alongside [[Neronga]], Ultraman is a four-star Battle Piece that can be a unit or a Leader, requiring 5 energy to summon to the battlefield as the former.<br />
;As a unit<br />
After Ultraman emerges from the ground and lands, he'll slowly walks forwards and will starts to fly, avoiding ground enemy units. Ultraman utilizes the Ultra Slash to hit ground and/or aerial enemy units. Once he reach the Leader, he'll land and keep throwing the Ultra Slash at it in a long distance. He has a base movement speed of 10 on land, a super long reach, a wide search range, and attacks every 2.6 seconds.<ref name="TK">{{cite web|url=https://www.tohokingdom.com/vg/godzilla_battle_line/units_leaders.html|title=Godzilla Battle Line - Units and Monster Leaders <nowiki>[Android/iOS/PC]</nowiki>|work=[[Toho Kingdom]]|accessdate=19 October 2022}}</ref> His base aerial movement speed is unknow.<br />
;As a Leader<br />
Ultraman's special move, the Spacium Ray, requires 4 energy to be performed. It knocks back enemy units in a straight line, dealing 150 damage. After performing the special move, he will increase the ally units attacks power by 20% and movement speed by 30% for 10 seconds. As a Leader, he has a long reach, a wide search range, and attacks every 2.8 seconds.{{R|TK}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The first look at Ultraman's design was not in a trailer, but rather an image during the opening ceremony of Tsuburaya Convention [[2019]] on December 13.<ref name="Shin3Ja">{{cite web |title=「TSUBURAYA CONVENTION 2019」オープニングセレモニーにて、映画『シン・ウルトラマン』ウルトラマンのデザインが明らかに!斎藤工さん「ずっと見ていられる美しさ」 |url=https://m-78.jp/news/post-5367 |publisher=m-78.jp |access-date=28 January 2021 |language=ja |date=14 December 2019}}</ref><br />
*Much like [[Godzilla/2016|Anno and Higuchi's interpretation of Godzilla]], Ultraman resembles an earlier concept from his debut outing. While Godzilla has a similar head to the maquette used for the iconic image of Godzilla biting a train, Ultraman is directly based off [[Tohl Narita]]'s 1983 painting "[http://www.scifijapan.com/Ultraman/shin-ultraman05.jpg The Incarnation of Truth, Justice, and Beauty]".<ref>[https://tamashii.jp/item/13523/ S.H.Figuarts ウルトラマン(シン・ウルトラマン) | 魂ウェブ]</ref><br />

'''Gabora''' {{Nihongo|ガボラ|Gabora}} is a burrowing reptilian [[kaiju]] who appears in the [[2022]] [[Toho]], [[Tsuburaya Productions]], and khara [[:Category:Films|film]] ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''. The character debuted in the ninth episode of the original 1966 ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman (series)|Ultraman]]'' series, "[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Lightning Operation|Lightning Operation]]", and later featured in the 1993 U.S.-filmed series ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero|Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero]]''. The ''Shin Ultraman'' version of Gabora also appears in the non-canonical web series ''[[Shin Ultra Fight]]''. <br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
In-universe, Gabora is presumably named "on impulse" by the Disaster Prevention Agency Minister like other kaiju before him, including [[Neronga]].<br />
==Development==<br />
[[Tohl Narita]] designed the original Gabora for the 1966 [[Tsuburaya Productions]] series ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman (series)|Ultraman]]''.<ref name="Narita"/> He was the last of four ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultra Q|Ultra Q]]'' and ''Ultraman'' monsters to be portrayed by a remodeled [[Baragon]] suit originating from the 1965 [[Toho]] film ''[[Frankenstein vs. Baragon]]'', preceded by [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Pagos|Pagos]], [[Neronga]], and [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Magular|Magular]].

Gabora bears a striking resemblance to Neronga, sharing a similar body structure. However, Gabora has a much smaller, skeletal head, with six beady eyes that glow crimson inside sunken sockets while four nostril-like holes reside in the equivalent area to Neronga's nasal horn. In place of Neronga's yellow back plates, Gabora has two purple screw-like organs that run down its back and continue past the end of its tail. Additionally, it's head is surrounded by six plates that can close into a conical drill.<br />

Gabora is the eighth and final kaiju bioweapon awakened by environmental devastation caused by humans and secretly controlled by the alien [[Mefilas]]. The monster's original creator is unknown. <br />

A subterranean Kaiju is spotted tunneling toward a nuclear waste storage facility, and the SSSP is sent to deal with the threat. An [[United States|American]] [[Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit]] drops [[Massive Ordnance Penetrator]]s into the Kaiju's path, but fails to stop it before running out of ammunition. The SSSP determines that the subterranean Kaiju, dubbed [[Gabora]], is similar to Pagos and intends to feed on the nuclear material. SSSP members don protective suits in order to get closer, but Kaminaga slips away. Running through the woods, Kaminaga pulls out a device which he activates, causing him to transform into Ultraman. The SSSP witnesses Ultraman suddenly appear from the ground, noticing that the once-silver patterns on his body have turned red. Ultraman stands before the nuclear facility as Gabora emerges from below ground and charges toward him. Realizing that destroying the nuclear-powered Gabora with his beam could trigger an explosion and spread fallout across the area, Ultraman instead tries to block Gabora's spinning drill-covered head from penetrating the facility. Finally, Ultraman is able to lift and throw Gabora away. Furious, Gabora opens the drill around its head, with the SSSP noticing its strong anatomical similarities to both Pagos and Neronga. It fires a beam of energy that strikes Ultraman, who withstands the blast as he slowly approaches his foe. After closing the distance, Ultraman punches Gabora in the face, felling it instantly. Ultraman lifts Gabora's body and looks back at the SSSP before taking off and flying away.<br />

==Abilities==<br />
===Drill tendrils===<br />
The two rows of spinning plates on Gabora's back can partially detach from his tail, allowing them to move freely, Gabora is capable of using these tendrils as a means of high speed locomotion when flipped on his back. Additionally, they are sharp enough to puncture the base of a mountain and wield the necessary strength to keep him perfectly in place.<br />
===Radiation===<br />
Gabora primarily uses radiation as sustenance but he can also repurpose this energy to emit an blue heat ray from his mouth, strong enough to visibly push Ultraman back. He is able to control the intensity of this beam at will but even at its lowest-shown state of power, the attack releases massive amounts of radiation into the environment.<br />
===Head plates===<br />
The plates that surround Gabora's head can close, creating a drill-like structure that can spin at rapid speeds. While this is mostly used for the purpose of burrowing through the ground, this adaptation also serves as his primary weapon. The plates can also rotate while they're open, which seemingly serves as the catalyst for Gabora's irradiated heat ray.<br />

One night, their servers are suddenly wiped as their headquarters lose power. As Funaberi laments the complete loss of all of their data, a bizarre creature wearing a cloak and hat appears in the SSSP office. The creature introduces himself as "Extraterrestrial No. 2," Zarab. He apologizes for wiping the SSSP servers, saying it was an unintended consequence of materializing in the building, and promptly restores the power and all data. Zarab requests a meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan to form a treaty, which is granted in secret. Zarab reveals many details about Ultraman's nature, such as that his body and energy attacks are composed of the element Spacium-133.<br />
<br />
Kaminaga secretly meets with an associate in his car to obtain information about Zarab's activities. He learns that Zarab has been holding secret meetings with government officials even outside of Japan, drafting treaties that vastly favor him. After his associate leaves, Zarab suddenly appears in the car next to Kaminaga. He asks Zarab what his true intentions are, and the alien responds that he is pitting humans against each other so that they will wipe each other out, allowing him to claim the Earth for himself. When Kaminaga says he will stop him, Zarab responds that he will simply have to detain him and uses his powers to knock him unconscious, before turning invisible and carrying him away. That night, Ultraman suddenly appears in Yokosuka and begins destroying the surrounding area. While much of the government is quick to declare Ultraman its enemy, the SSSP suspects all is not what it seems. Furthermore, Kaminaga has vanished without a trace, while videos showing him becoming Ultraman have leaked online. Zarab urges the Japanese government to destroy Ultraman, all while detaining Kaminaga in a building in Tokyo. Zarab asks Kaminaga where the Beta Capsule that enables his transformation into Ultraman is, but is content that at least Kaminaga does not have it.<br />
<br />
At SSSP headquarters, Asami discovers an envelope addressed to her from Kaminaga containing the Beta Capsule. When Ultraman appears in Tokyo and begins causing destruction again, Kaminaga's associate gives Asami a way to track his location. She finds Kaminaga handcuffed to a chair in the building where Zarab is detaining him, and frees him from his restraints before handing him the Beta Capsule. Suddenly, the Imitation Ultraman tears through the building and grabs Asami in his hand. Kaminaga activates the Beta Capsule and transforms into Ultraman, retrieving Asami and setting her down safely. Ultraman fights his impostor until its disguise is damaged, revealing it as Zarab. Zarab tries to fly away, but Ultraman pursues him. After a brief dogfight, Ultraman forms a disc of energy in his hand and throws it at Zarab, slicing the alien cleanly in half.<br />

a disembodied voice tells them that this was merely a demonstration. Suddenly, the giant Asami loses consciousness and falls to the ground, where she is restrained. The JSDF cannot retrieve any samples of her tissue or clothing, as she is seemingly indestructible, and readings indicate she is somehow composed of an unidentified energy. A suited man appears to the SSSP and politely introduces himself as Extraterrestrial No. 0, Mefilas. He says he actually arrived on Earth before Ultraman, and that he was the voice from before. To prove his identity, Mefilas reveals a gigantic device called the Beta Box and uses it to return Asami to her original size. Mefilas meets with the Japanese government and proposes an agreement whereby he would give the Beta Box to mankind and allow humans to attain a gigantic invincible state in order to defend themselves from other hostile extraterrestrials like Zarab. In exchange, he asks that humans accept him as their new ruler, though he promises this will not affect their laws or daily lives.<br />
<br />
Mefilas meets with Kaminaga in a park, attempting to persuade him to accept his pact with the humans. Kaminaga asks what Mefilas' true intentions are, and the alien reveals that he intends to use the Earth's human population as bioweapons through the Beta Box. He also admits that he orchestrated all of the prior Kaiju attacks as well as Zarab's recent invasion in order to ensure the success of his plan. The first few Kaiju were dormant bioweapons on Earth that he activated and passed off as consequences of human advancement, after which he began unleashing his own advanced bioweapons with Pagos, Neronga, and Gabora. This lured Ultraman to Earth, who in fusing with Kaminaga demonstrated that the Beta Box's technology was compatible with humans. He used Zarab to make humans fear the threat of extraterrestrials, and his own demonstration of the Beta Box to make humans feel intellectually inferior and powerless, all to ensure the success of his plan. When police surround both of them, Mefilas uses his powers to teleport himself and Kaminaga to a bar to continue their discussion in peace. Mefilas reminds Ultraman that by the laws that govern both of their people, Ultraman is forbidden from interfering with the humans' treaty with Mefilas. Kaminaga responds that while Ultraman may be forbidden to interfere, the human with whom he bonded is obligated to fight back. Mefilas expresses his disappointment that they could not come to an agreement, and leaves.<br />
<br />
Kaminaga meets with the SSSP and apologizes for involving them in all of this, but asks for their help in stopping Mefilas' plan. He says that their only option is to recover the Beta Box before Mefilas hands it over to the Japanese government, but unfortunately it is currently stored in the Planck Brane dimension, making it impossible to find using sight. However, Kaminaga says that by tracking the smell of Asami, who was in contact with the Beta Box, he may be able to find it. At the formal ceremony where Mefilas is to hand over the Beta Box, Ultraman's hand suddenly extends through the Planck Brane and grabs it. Mefilas tells a government official that he will be back, then transforms into his true form and grows to gigantic size. Ultraman throws the Beta Box into a chopper piloted by the SSSP, and they take it away. Mefilas confronts Ultraman in a nearby refinery, and the two extraterrestrials trade blows. Ultraman tosses Ultra Slices at Mefilas, who easily deflects them. Ultraman fires his Spacium Beam, which collides in midair with an energy beam fired by Mefilas. Mefilas boasts that while Ultraman's energy reserves are severely limited by his bonding with Kaminaga and use of the Beta Capsule, he possesses limitless energy through the use of negentropy. As Ultraman's energy wanes and the red patterns on his body turn green, his Spacium Beam weakens and Mefilas begins to close the distance. However, Mefilas observes a gold-colored member of Ultraman's species hovering behind him, and abruptly ends his attack. He remarks that matters have been complicated and that this planet is no longer worth killing Ultraman. He agrees to take the Beta Box and leave, then uses his powers to recover it from the chopper before vanishing.<br />

'''Zetton''' {{Nihongo|ゼットン|Zetton}} is an alien [[Kaiju|bioweapon]] unleashed by [[Zōffy]] to annihilate humanity in the [[2022]] [[Toho]], [[Tsuburaya Productions]], and khara [[:Category:Films|film]] ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''. The character debuted as a 'space dinosaur' in the 39th and final episode of Tsuburaya's [[1966]] ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman (series)|Ultraman]]'' series, entitled "[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Farewell, Ultraman|Farewell, Ultraman]]." Zetton crossed over with [[Godzilla]] and other Japanese pop culture characters in Banpresto's Compati Sports games ''[[Battle Soccer: Champion of the Field]]'' and ''[[Battle Baseball]]'', released for the Super Famicom in [[1992]] and Famicom in [[1993]], respectively. The ''Shin Ultraman'' version of the character also appears in episode TI5 of the non-canonical web series ''[[Shin Ultra Fight]]''—which recreates part of his battle with Ultraman from the original series shot-for-shot—as well as the mobile game ''[[Godzilla Battle Line]]''.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
Zetton's name is a combination of the final letter of the English alphabet, Z (read as ''zetto'' in Japanese), and the final kana of the Japanese syllabary, ん (''n''). This name was chosen to signify finality, as Zetton was Ultraman's last opponent of his original series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tsuburaya-prod.com/encyclopedia/zetton|title=Zetton|work=Tsuburaya Productions|accessdate=30 October 2022}}</ref> In ''Shin Ultraman'', Zōffy introduces Zetton as the '''Ultimate Celestial Suppression Weapon''' {{Nihongo|天体制圧用最終兵器|Tentai Seiatsu-yō Saishū Heiki}}, with Ultraman recognizing its name to be Zetton. In ''Shin Ultra Fight'', Zetton is given the epithet '''Space Dinosaur''' {{Nihongo|宇宙恐竜|Uchū Kyōryū}}, which he possessed in his original incarnation in ''Ultraman''.<br />

of the multiverse, and that the species must now be exterminated. He reveals that he has brought the Ultimate Weapon for Celestial Suppression, Zetton, to vaporize the Earth along with its entire solar system. Ultraman pleads with Zōffy to spare the humans, but the latter replies that with the billions of documented intelligent species in the multiverse, exterminating one for the benefit of the rest is the best option. Humans are undeveloped and weak lifeforms, he says, and their destruction will prevent other extraterrestrials from obtaining billions of new bioweapons and upsetting the order of the multiverse. Ultraman protests that humans are creatures worth protecting, but Zōffy releases Zetton into Earth's orbit, where it begins assembling its firing system.<br />
<br />
With Zetton becoming visible in the sky, Kaminaga explains its purpose to the rest of the SSSP. He states that he will try to destroy it, and leaves behind a flash drive before transforming into Ultraman and flying into orbit. Ultraman bombards Zetton with his Ultra Slices and Spacium Beam, but they have no effect. Zetton retaliates with various defensive lasers, which push Ultraman back into Earth's atmosphere. As he plummets toward the ocean, Zōffy appears and urges Ultraman to stop resisting and let humanity be cleansed. Asami sits next to Kaminaga in the hospital, realizing that he knew all along that he couldn't defeat Zetton. At SSSP HQ, Taki laments humanity's inevitable demise before Funaberi points out the flash drive that Kaminaga left behind. Inside is a full explanation of the Beta Capsule's technology, translated into human language. A digital meeting of the world's greatest minds is organized to formulate a method to stop Zetton.<br />
<br />
As Zetton completes its assembly and descends into its final firing position, Kaminaga awakens in the hospital and rushes to SSSP HQ. He learns that Taki and other scholars found a way to defeat Zetton. If Ultraman flew toward Zetton and used the Beta Capsule twice, he would temporarily open a sixth-dimensional wormhole that would pull them both in and seal them in a parallel dimension, with the whole maneuver needing to be completed within one millisecond. Tamura opposes a plan that will sacrifice Ultraman, but Kaminaga replies that he is willing to give his life to save mankind. Kaminaga bids farewell to Asami, who tells him to promise to return. Kaminaga agrees before transforming into Ultraman and flying toward Zetton. As Zetton begins to fire, Ultraman collides with it and activates the Beta Capsule, opening a wormhole that immediately absorbs Zetton. Ultraman struggles against the force of the wormhole, but he too is pulled in. After the wormhole closes, Zetton and Ultraman are both nowhere to be seen.<br />

==Abilities==<br />
===Superheated fireball===<br />
Zetton's ultimate weapon is a one-terakelvin '''superheated ball of energy''' {{Nihongo|超光熱球|chō kōnetsu kyū}}, or simply '''fireball''' {{Nihongo|熱球|nekkyū}}, powerful enough to not only destroy Earth but evaporate the entirety of the Solar System and further affect an area light-years wide. Zetton creates the fireball by concentrating beams of energy projected from the yellow compartments on its chest. Zetton then splays out the angular coverings on its body and shifts its limbs into a horizontal railgun-like posture in preperation to fire.<br />
===Unnamed Energy Machine Gun===<br />
Relatively-small circular objects located in front of Zetton's torso can fire a hail of energy bullets. They are presumably some of Zetton's weakest attacks as they cause no visible pain or stress in Ultraman when he's pelted by them.<br />
===Arm Blasts===<br />
[[File:FYf2MTPaAAIZfnX .jpg|thumb|center|200px]]<br />
Zetton can fire red bolts of energy from the sides of its arms. Multiple consecutive shots can destroy Ultraman's Ultra-Barrier.<br />
<br />
===Durability===<br />
Zetton is protected by a kind of forcefield, making it virtually indestrucible even to Ultraman's weaponry. According to Ultraman, all of the thermonuclear weapons in the world, equating to roughly 2 million kilotons of TNT, would be "totally insufficient" in damaging Zetton.<br />

Added in Season 16, alongside [[Mefilas]], Zetton is a is a four-star aerial unit requiring 8 energy to summon to the battlefield, making him the second most expensive unit in the game, losing only to [[Godzilla Earth]], requiring 8 energy to be summoned. Zetton stands in the air on the Leader area, when an enemy unit gets close, he'll start shooting his Arm Blasts consecutively at it. Similar to [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Burning Godzilla]], Zetton has four bars upon his life bar that slowly fill as he stands and attacks on the battlefield. His Arm Blasts will get increase based on the number of bars filled. Once he is killed or all the bars get full, he peforms his superheated ball of energy, with the number of bars filled determining the blast radius and the amount of damage dealt to enemy units. He has a super long reach, a wide search range, and attacks every 1.2 seconds, tied with [[King Caesar]], making them the second units with the shortest attack speed, losing only to [[Moguera]] with a attack speed of 1.1.<ref name="TK">{{cite web|url=https://www.tohokingdom.com/vg/godzilla_battle_line/units_leaders.html|title=Godzilla Battle Line - Units and Monster Leaders <nowiki>[Android/iOS/PC]</nowiki>|work=[[Toho Kingdom]]|accessdate=19 October 2022}}</ref> The only way for Zetton to reach the enemy Leader will be if the player uses [[KIDS]] to teleport him to the enemy Leader area.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgzLjfvoiyg|title=Using K.I.D.S. on Zetton - Godzilla: Battle Line Gameplay|author=High Flyers Tag Team|date=31 August 2022|work=YouTube}}</ref><br />

==Name==<br />
Zoffy's original name has no confirmed origin but it is speculated that it was derived from the English name Sophie. In [[Shin Ultraman]], Zōffy is spelled with an accented ō as a reference to the script of Zoffy's debut episode. <br />
==Development==<br />
to be added.<br />
==Design==<br />
Zōffy is very similar to Ultraman in appearance, sharing his physique and overall patterns. However, his skin is gold in color while the markings that cover his body are black. An extra line swoops below his chest pattern while a thin circle lays on each shoulder. Additionally, his forehead crest is black. His eyes are slightly lopsided and so are his lips, the latter creating a visage that resembles a smirk to the side.<br />
==Personality==<br />
Zōffy follows the Code of the Planet of Light very strictly, and comes as very cold and stern because of that. He sees the death of one sapient race as inconsequential to the overall universe.<br />

===Flight===<br />
While on Earth, Zōffy constantly hovers above the ground. He can move in this state as shown when he meets Ultraman falling to Earth after his defeat by Zetton.<br />

As an adjucator from the Planet of Light, Zōffy can summon Zetton from thin air in its compact state.<br />

*A close-up shot of Zōffy's face appears to be a direct homage to a similar close-up shot of his original counterpart featured in the fifth episode of Ultraman Ace "The Giant-Ant Terrible-Monster vs. the Ultra Brothers".<br />

'''Tiamat''' is a serpentine [[Titan]] first mentioned in the [[2019]] [[MonsterVerse]] film ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' on a [[Monarch]] map. Her design was revealed in the [[2021]] graphic novel ''[[Godzilla Dominion]]''.<br />
<br />
Once dormant underneath Stone Mountain in the [[United States|U.S.]] state of Georgia, Tiamat was awakened by [[King Ghidorah/Legendary|King Ghidorah's]] call in [[2019]] and began to attack [[humans|humanity]]. She was pacified when [[Madison Russell]] activated the [[Orca]] in [[Boston]]. Some time later, Tiamat was residing near one of [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla's]] old lairs in the [[Hollow Earth]], and attacked him when he came to reclaim it. Tiamat dominated much of the fight until Godzilla managed to bring her onto land, after which he was able to get Tiamat to submit and withdraw.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
Tiamat is named after a Babylonian [[wikipedia:Tiamat|salt sea goddess]] (𒀭𒌓𒌈). The mythological serpent gave birth to gods who later killed her and used her carcass to create Earth.<br />
==Development==<br />
Tiamat was designed by well-known kaiju and creature artist Dopepope.<ref name="DP">{{cite web|url=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Qr2bJx|title=TITANUS TIAMAT Official Concept Development|author=Dope Pope|date=8 June 2021|work=ArtStation}}</ref><br />
==Design==<br />
Tiamat is a colossal sea serpent with a dark purple body. Lining down her form are numerous bioluminescent fins and sharp plates. Multiple sets of barbels hang from a beaked head with bright yellow eyes.<br />
==Personality==<br />
Tiamat is hostile and territorial, shown when she attacks [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla]] once he comes to claim his lair.<br />
==History==<br />
*''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' (2019) [mentioned]<br />
===''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]''===<br />
Residing at Outpost 53, beneath Stone Mountain in the [[United States|U.S.]] state of Georgia, Tiamat was one of the many Titans who began to attack [[humans|humanity]] under the direction of [[King Ghidorah/Legendary|King Ghidorah]]. She was later pacified when [[Madison Russell]] activated the [[Orca]] at Fenway Park.<br />
==Comics==<br />
*''[[Godzilla Dominion]]'' (2021)<br />
===''[[Godzilla Dominion]]''===<br />
When [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla]] arrived in the [[Hollow Earth]] to reclaim one of his old lairs, he was suddenly attacked by Tiamat. She coiled her body around Godzilla as she dragged him underwater in a maelstrom, with her scales cutting into him. He headbutted Tiamat in the mouth, but she expelled a blinding acidic breath into the water. Using his other senses to track Tiamat, Godzilla turned as Tiamat was trying to swim up behind him. Tiamat again constricted her body around Godzilla and began dragging him deeper and deeper underwater. Tiamat pulled Godzilla through an underwater tunnel that led into an air pocket. As the two [[Titan]]s surfaced, Tiamat bit down on Godzilla's neck. Godzilla grabbed Tiamat by the throat and threw her onto solid ground. He stomped on her repeatedly, but Tiamat roared defiantly at him. Godzilla answered the upstart Titan with a roar of his own which convinced her to submit. Tiamat then slithered back into the water and departed.<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Constriction===<br />
Tiamat can constrict her body around enemies, allowing her to easily drag them through the water.<br />
===Scales===<br />
Tiamat's scales are stated to be sharp enough to cut into [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla's]] flesh.<br />
===Acidic breath===<br />
Tiamat can expel a yellow acidic breath<ref name="DEJ Instagram">[https://www.instagram.com/p/COjdpeYBh2g/ Reply by Drew Edward Johnson in comments: "Toxic/acidic breath."]</ref> from her mouth that blinds opponents.<br />
===Hydrokinesis===<br />
Tiamat generated a maelstrom at the start of her fight against Godzilla to drag him into the ocean's depths.<ref name="DEJ Instagram"/> According to ''[[Godzilla Dominion]]'' illustrator Drew Johnson, she may also be able to create waterspouts.<ref name="DEJ Instagram"/> She is thoroughly in her element underwater, where she dominated Godzilla before he threw her onto solid ground. <br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Tiamat was located in Outpost 53, a possible reference to the 1953 film ''[[The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms]]'', which featured a [[Rhedosaurus|semi-aquatic reptile]].<br />
*According to ''[[Godzilla Dominion]]'' writer [[Greg Keyes]], Tiamat was responsible for killing the ancient member of [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong's]] species whose skull is seen in [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla's]] lair, and probably also fought many other [[Titan]]s.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZzCtUgK9Q/ "Yes. It fought and killed the aging Kong whose skull is seen in the cave. And probably many others."]</ref><br />

File:Godzilla vs. Destoroyah - Rebirth Godzilla among the smoke.jpg|Well, DUH! Godzilla is the most iconic movie monster, and the mascot of the franchise! I fell in love the moment I saw Godzilla!<br />
File:Godzilla Raids Again - Anguirus clay model.jpg|This guy is to underrated. I should mention that Final Wars was the first Godzilla film I saw, it was back when I was six, ten years ago!<br />
File:GODZILLA 1998.jpg|This may be an unpopular opinion but I kind of, maybe liked this tuna head. He died quickly in Final Wars but he was absolutely amazing in Godzilla Rulers of Earth! <br />
File:Godzilla Final Wars - 4-1 Kamacuras Reappears.png|I think guy is REALLY underrated. His camouflage ability in Final Wars was really cool to 6 year old me, and because of that I really love this kaiju!<br />

== Fan Fictions ==<br />
I'm working on a fan fiction called "Godzilla vs. Kamacuras", its going to have Kamacuras and Godzilla. It was actually just finished! With 5 chapters! I had a ton of fun making it, and wouldnt mind making a sequel, maybe featuring another more obscure Toho monster, like Zilla, or even Varan!</div>Mech Anguirushttps://wikizilla.org/w/index.php?title=Max&diff=213695Max2021-08-19T14:51:55Z<p>Mech Anguirus: </p>

'''''Godzilla Singular Point: Escape!! Radio Wave Monster Rodan!''''' {{Nihongo|ゴジラS.P 逃ゲロ!!電波怪獣ラドンダ!|Gojira Shingyura Pointo Nigero Denpa Kaijū Radon Da}} is a [[Japan]]ese web game tie-in for the [[2021]] [[:Category:Animation|anime]] [[:Category:Television Series|series]] ''[[Godzilla Singular Point]]''. An endless runner, it involves the player controlling [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]], [[Harvey]], or [[Jet Jaguar]] through waves of [[kaiju]] and other obstacles. The game was released on April 15, 2021, and taken offline on May 1, though it can still be played through the Wayback Machine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://godzilla-sp.jp/news/210415_01.html|title= 期間限定無料ゲーム配信開始!&プレゼントキャンペーン実施!|date=15 April 2021|work=godzilla-sp.jp}}</ref><ref name="GSP archived">[https://web.archive.org/web/20210430002642/https://game.godzilla-sp.jp/]</ref> It was relaunched and updated on May 27 to include additional monsters and will be playable until June 30.<ref name="GSP browser game reloaded">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/GODZILLA_SP/status/1397915501297274881|title= 本日放送の #クモンガ #ハネンガ が大量発生した第9話のテレビ放送を記念し、期間限定SPecialミニゲーム”#逃ゲロ電波怪獣ラドンダ“がパワーアップして再配信!ラドン、クモンガ、そして未来予知するあの怪獣も...! ▼配信期間 5/27(木)23:00~6/30(水)12:00 ▼ゲームプレイ https://game.godzilla-sp.jp|author=@GODZILLA_SP|date=27 May 2021|work=Twitter}}</ref><br />

==Gameplay==<br />
Waves of [[Rodan/Singular Point|Rodan]] and [[Kumonga|Kumonga]] attack the employees of [[Otaki Factory]] and their machines as they drive through a city. The player starts by steering [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]] on their [[Honda Gyro Canopy|Gyro Canopy Tandem 2]]. Pill-shaped power-ups will periodically appear, flashing yellow, red, and blue. The player will turn into [[Harvey]] if they drive into the pill when it is yellow, [[Jet Jaguar]] if it is red, and back into the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2 if it is blue. Points accumulate through continued survival and swatting monsters; the number of monsters they evade is also noted. In the updated version, all monsters will count for points and will add to the evade counter.<br />
<br />
The Rodan vary in both size (small, medium, large) and color (bright, dull). The large Rodan can release multiple small Rodan from their bodies before charging forward themselves. Bright Rodan will simply move in a straight line from the top of the screen to the bottom (aside from the large variants, who will move backwards when unleashing their spawn), while dull Rodan will move diagonally towards the space where the player was located when each monster began its charge.<br />
<br />
After wave 10, small flying [[Kamanga and Hanenga|Hanenga]], faster than any adult Rodan, will appear. [[Kumonga]] appear a wave later, creating lines of web that must be avoided. On wave 12, Anguirus will run from the bottom of the screen to the top. He will shoot small spikes in a radius which will kill the player if touched. While [[Salunga]] sprites exist in the game's code, it is unknown if or how he can be encountered in the game.<br />
<br />
The player starts with two lives (translating to three chances); if they make contact with a parked vehicle, sign post, or certain monsters, they will lose one life and restart the wave as the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2. The motorcycle has no resistances against monsters, while Harvey and Jet Jaguar are immune to certain types. Harvey will swat away small bright Rodan, while Jet Jaguar can dispatch Hanenga and all small and medium-sized Rodan. The game ends when the player loses all their lives, at which point they will be given the option to Tweet their score.<br />
<br />
In the original version of the game, the only monster the player encountered was Rodan, and Jet Jaguar could be destroyed by dull medium-sized Rodan.<br />

'''Skullcrawlers''' are giant two-legged reptilian [[kaiju|monsters]] who first appeared in the [[2017]] [[Legendary Pictures]] [[:Category:Films|films]], ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]''.<br />
<br />
Insatiable carnivorous monsters that dwell deep beneath the surface of [[Skull Island]], the Skullcrawlers were responsible for wiping out the majority of [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong's]] species long ago, and frequently menaced the other creatures living on the island as well. The orphaned Kong took it upon himself to keep the Skullcrawlers' population in check and defend the island's other residents from their savagery. In 1973, the [[Monarch]] expedition to Skull Island unwittingly drew numerous Skullcrawlers to the surface, which in turn drew the ire of Kong towards the humans who had inadvertently started the crisis. Though Kong was able to handle most of the subterranean creatures, he was eventually faced with a colossal 95-foot-tall [[Titan]] Skullcrawler, known as the '''Skull Devil'''. Kong engaged in a brutal struggle with the Skull Devil, and with the aid of his newfound human allies was finally able to triumph over the horrific creature. In 2024, [[Apex Cybernetics]] used captured Skullcrawlers, including one even larger than the Skull Devil, to test [[Mechagodzilla/Legendary|Mechagodzilla's]] capabilities.<br />

==Development==<br />
According to designer Zach Berger, director [[Jordan Vogt-Roberts]] did not initially have any specific vision for the villain monster of ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]'' and simply told the designers to create "something distinct and different" and not use dinosaurs in any way so as not to compete with [[King Kong (2005 film)|Peter Jackson's ''King Kong'']]. One early concept for the villain monster was a giant amphibious sea serpent inspired by Vietnamese dragons. One idea that Berger pitched was a "sawtooth" monster with saw-shaped protrusions around its mouth. Vogt-Roberts expressed admiration for the design of the monster from the Korean film ''The Host'', and the designers ultimately decided to incorporate the two-legged aspect of its design into their design process. Eventually, Jordan Vogt-Roberts' attention was brought to the [[Two-Legged Lizard]] that briefly appeared in the [[King Kong (1933 film)|1933 film]], and the designers decided to attempt to update that creature's design. Some designs very heavily resembled the original creature, while others gave it a different, almost snake-like head. Berger gave credit to Simon Lee for taking the Two-Legged Lizard concept and creating something close to the final design of the Skullcrawlers.<ref>[https://www.inverse.com/article/29116-kong-skull-island-concept-creature-art-designs-unused-monsters New 'Kong: Skull Island' Concept Art Reveals Wild and Unused Monsters - Inverse Entertainment]</ref><br />
==Name==<br />
In the [[Godzilla vs. Kong: The Official Movie Novelization|official novelization]] of ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]'', the true name of the Skullcrawlers is the '''''Halakrah''''' or “persistent enemy” in the [[Iwi]] language. Because the native Iwis would not say their name for this species out loud, [[Hank Marlow]] came up with the name "Skullcrawlers" to describe them, on the grounds that it "[sounded] neat." He refers to the largest Skullcrawler simply as "the Big One" in the film itself, but in the [[Kong: Skull Island - The Official Movie Novelization|novelization]], he calls it the '''Skull Devil'''. It is also called "Skull Devil" in ''[[The Art and Making of Kong: Skull Island]]'' and the opening credits of ''Godzilla vs. Kong''. Legendary copyrighted the name "Ramarak the Skullcrawler" and other variations of this name, which could be a rejected name for the Skull Devil, in December 2015.<ref name="JT">[https://trademarks.justia.com/search?q=ramarak Justia Trademarks Search]</ref> '''Ramarak''' has caught on as a popular name for the Skull Devil among fans, though it has yet to appear in any official media. The gigantic Skullcrawler who appears in ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' is simply called '''Number 10''' by [[Apex Cybernetics]] CEO [[Walter Simmons]].<br />
<br />
Director [[Jordan Vogt-Roberts]] initially wanted to call the Skullcrawlers "MacArthur", in the same way that a pet dog might have a human name.<ref name="KSI Artbook">{{cite book|title=The Art and Making of Kong: Skull Island|author=Ward, Simon|date=2017|publisher=Titan Books|page=79, 152|isbn=978-1785651519}}</ref> [[Hank Marlow]] would explain the name by saying, "He's like General MacArthur - you can't stop him." Other names considered were "the Mac" and "the Dweller." [[John C. Reilly]] felt that "Skullcrawler" was ridiculous and didn't want to say it, leading to an improvised exchange between Marlow, [[James Conrad|Conrad]], and [[Mason Weaver|Weaver]] about the name.<ref name="Commentary2">''Kong: Skull Island'' iTunes-exclusive audio commentary</ref><br />
<br />
The spelling of the Skullcrawlers' name is not entirely consistent. While most official sources tend to spell the creatures' name as a single word, the [[Kong: Skull Island - The Official Movie Novelization|official novelization]] and [[The Art and Making of Kong: Skull Island|art book]] for the film spells it as two. In the comic ''[[Skull Island: The Birth of Kong]]'', the creatures' name is spelled as two words when spoken by the characters but is spelled as a single word in the [[Monarch]] superspecies profile included in the [[Skull Island: The Birth of Kong Issue 2|second issue]]. The [[HBO Max]] subtitles for ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]'' and ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' spell the creatures' names with a hyphen. The Skull Devil's name is also sometimes spelled as "Skull-Devil".<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
Skullcrawlers are large serpentine creatures with only two long forelimbs and no hind limbs. Several aspects of their appearance are noticeably skeletal, particularly their backs and their heads. Their heads closely resemble those of [[Wikipedia:Mosasaur|mosasaurs]], particularly the mosasaur ''[[Wikipedia:Tylosaurus|Tylosaurus]]''. Additionally, the Skullcrawlers have four digits in total on each hand, with the thumb being the smallest digit and the rest of the digits being larger and of the same size. The head of the Skullcrawler is predominantly grey and white in coloration, with the monster's eyes being situated behind two round eye socket-like depressions on the sides of their head. Number 10, the gigantic Skullcrawler featured in ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]'', bears a resemblance to the Skull Devil while having a unique yellow outer "skull" with a blotch of red on top and additional yellow and red highlights on its elbows and back.<br />
<br />
The Skullcrawlers in ''Kong: Skull Island'' range in size from 12 to 95 feet tall, though Number 10 is much larger. The smaller Skullcrawlers can fit inside of the eye sockets of the skulls of [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong's]] species, while the largest Skullcrawler seen in the film, the Skull Devil, is almost as tall as Kong himself and possesses distinct spikes on its elbows and a more pronounced, sand-colored ridge running down its spine, along with a crest-like feature at the back of its forehead. In the tie-in comic ''[[Skull Island: The Birth of Kong]]'', several full-size Skullcrawlers are seen in flashbacks, and they too possess the distinct elbow spikes of the Skull Devil. The Skull Devil also possesses a fin-like tail seen in some shots.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
The Skullcrawlers are violent and savage creatures that appear to attack and kill anything in sight. [[Monarch]] classifies them as "hypervores" due to their insatiable appetites. Though the Skullcrawlers seem to act primarily on instinct, the largest Skullcrawler demonstrates some intelligence when it swats Earl Cole away with its tail before his grenades can detonate. According to ''[[The Art and Making of Kong: Skull Island]]'', Skullcrawlers are an invasive species to [[Skull Island]], and live entirely underground, only surfacing to feed.<br />
==Origins==<br />
According to [[Hank Marlow]], Skullcrawlers terrorized [[Skull Island]] for thousands of years, forcing the native Iwi tribe to build a huge wall outside of their village to keep them out. To the Iwis' surprise, the giant apes that they once feared began fighting the Skullcrawlers, eventually driving them all underground. The Skullcrawlers remained primarily underground until the seismic charges dropped by the [[Monarch]] expedition to the island in [[1973]] began drawing them back to the surface.<br />
<br />
The [[Godzilla vs. Kong: The Official Movie Novelization|novelization]] of ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]'' states that the Skullcrawlers evolved from a lineage of non-amniote basal reptilomorphs that possibly originated from the Hollow Earth.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===[[MonsterVerse]]===<br />
====''[[Kong: Skull Island]]''====<br />
[[File:Skull_crawler_kill.png|thumb|right|200px|A Skullcrawler standing over the corpse of a freshly-killed [[Sker Buffalo]] in ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]'']]<br />
Voracious and violent creatures, the Skullcrawlers once terrorized [[Skull Island]], forcing the native [[Iwi]] tribe to cower in fear behind a massive wall. Eventually, the giant apes of the island began fighting back against the Skullcrawlers, thinning their numbers and forcing the remaining ones to retreat underground. Before they were defeated, the Skullcrawlers were able to wipe out most of the giant apes, leaving only one surviving member, [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong]], whose duty it became to prevent the Skullcrawlers from ever returning.<br />
<br />
In [[1973]], the [[Monarch]]-led expedition to Skull Island began dropping seismic charges onto the island's terrain, allegedly to map the island. These charges brought several Skullcrawlers back to the surface, much to the anger of Kong, who brought down all of the expedition's helicopters. Kong came upon the corpse of a [[Sker Buffalo]], which had been freshly killed by a Skullcrawler. The Skullcrawler was joined by another member of its kind and attacked Kong, who was able to quickly dispatch the smaller creatures. The survivors of the Monarch expedition eventually regrouped and passed through a huge crater littered with skeletons. As they passed through the boneyard, they were attacked by a Skullcrawler, which was responsible for killing Chapman, the soldier they were all searching for. The Skullcrawler killed several of the humans, including [[William Randa]], and was eventually killed when [[Mason Weaver]] used a lighter to ignite an explosive gas pocket as the creature passed by it, blowing it apart.<br />
<br />
[[File:Kong-skull-island-skull-crawler-battle-571437.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A Skull Devil, also identified as "the Big One," in ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]'']]<br />
Later that night, when [[Preston Packard|Lt. Colonel Packard]] and his men ambushed Kong in the swamp, a gigantic 95-foot Skullcrawler, which [[Hank Marlow]] identified as "the Big One," and referred to as the Skull Devil, emerged from the water. The beast attacked the wounded Kong, who had just killed Packard, but the humans were able to escape. By sunrise, the humans were attempting to rendezvous with [[Houston Brooks]] and [[Lin San]], who were commanding the boat the ''Grey Fox''. However, they were set upon by the giant Skullcrawler. One soldier, Earl Cole, attempted to sacrifice himself by detonating two grenades in front of the Skull Devil, but the beast simply smacked him away with its tail. Kong soon arrived and smashed a boulder into the Skull Devil’s face, buying time for the humans to escape. <br />
<br />
Kong grappled with the Skull Devil, but the beast overpowered him and nearly clamped its jaws upon his throat. Kong kept up the fight, even breaking a tree across the Skull Devil’s face, but the monster was too powerful and knocked Kong into an old shipwreck, where he became entangled in its anchor chain. Weaver got to a vantage point and fired a flare into the Skull Devil’s eye, enraging it. Kong broke free of the chain and converted it into a makeshift flail, with the boat's propeller at the end, and attacked the Skull Devil again. This time, Kong gained the upper hand and slammed it into the same hill Weaver was standing on, causing her to fall into the water below. He then cut through the Skull Devil’s flesh with the propeller. Kong seemingly finished the beast when he slashed the Skull Devil’s throat with the propeller, causing it to fall limp to the ground. Kong took the moment to pull Weaver from the water, but as soon as he had her in hand the Skull Devil rose back to its feet and bit down on Kong's free arm. Kong fought back and tried to keep Weaver away from the Skull Devil’s mouth, but the creature used its prehensile tongue to pull Kong's hand, with Weaver held in it, down its throat. Kong desperately pulled his hand free of the beast's gullet, tearing out its innards and killing it instantly.<br />

[[File:GvK - Apex Skullcrawler.png|thumb|right|200px|The Skullcrawler designated "Number 10" in ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]'']]<br />
[[Apex Cybernetics]] bred Skullcrawlers to serve as test subjects for the machine they hoped would dethrone [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla]]: [[Mechagodzilla/Legendary|Mechagodzilla]]. [[Bernie Hayes]], [[Madison Russell]], and [[Josh Valentine]], a trio of infiltrators hoping to expose Apex, found themselves on a transport to [[Hong Kong]] with several of the beasts' eggs. Inside Apex's headquarters, they found a test chamber where CEO [[Walter Simmons]] released one gigantic Skullcrawler, codenamed "Number 10," as the [[mecha]] awaited it. The Skullcrawler immediately set its sights on the trio. It lunged at Madison as she dropped prone, but never reached her. Mechagodzilla seized it, held it by its arms, and sliced it in half with its proton scream before powering down.<br />

==Abilities==<br />
===Prehensile tongue===<br />
[[File:Prehensile Tongue.gif|thumb|right|200px|A Skullcrawler uses its prehensile tongue to eat its prey.]]<br />
Skullcrawlers possess prehensile triple-forked tongues that can dart from their mouths to grab prey. Their aim is precise enough to grab a falling soldier in mid-air.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
<br />
===Prehensile tail===<br />
The Skull Devil used its prehensile tail to constrict itself around [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong]]. It was also able to throw Kong with ease using its tail. The smaller Skullcrawlers were able to use their tails as clubs, as demonstrated when one attacked by slamming its tail onto the ground when it confronted the soldiers who were trying to pass through the boneyard.<br />
===Durability===<br />
The juvenile Skullcrawler that confronted the [[Monarch]] expedition was unfazed by small arms fire, even a short burst from a .50 caliber Browning M2HB. A sustained blast from an M9-7 Flamethrower caused it pain but did not leave any visible injuries.<br />
<br />
The Skull Devil was more than a physical match for Kong, and it was stated by [[Hank Marlow]] to be the beast who killed his parents. The twin .50 caliber Browning M2 Aircraft machine guns mounted on the ''Grey Fox'' were able to make it bleed, though they did not significantly injure it.<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
[[File:Vlcsnap-2021-04-19-19h13m29s681.png|thumb|right|200px|Number 10 being cut down by [[Mechagodzilla/Legendary|Mechagodzilla]]'s proton scream]]<br />
The smaller Skullcrawlers posed little threat to Kong, as two of them were taken out swiftly when they attempted to attack him. Sharp melee weapons, such as [[Hank Marlow]]'s katana, can slice through the skin of the creatures. [[Mason Weaver]] killed one by using [[James Conrad]]'s lighter to ignite the gas coming from a vent directly beneath it.<br />
<br />
Kong's makeshift flail embedded the Skull Devil's back when it was thrown, and it was used to seemingly slit the beast's throat, causing it to fall limp to the ground. When the beast used its prehensile tongue to pull Kong's hand, with Weaver held in it, down its throat, Kong mustered all of his strength to pull his hand free of the Skull Devil's gullet, disemboweling it.<br />
<br />
[[Mechagodzilla/Legendary|Mechagodzilla]] killed Number 10, a giant Skullcrawler, before it could land a hit, grabbing the beast by its arms and splitting it in half with the proton scream at 40% power.<br />

[[File:Birth of Kong 1 - Kongs vs. Skullcrawlers.png|thumb|right|200px|Skullcrawlers battling members of [[King Kong|Kong's]] species in ''[[Skull Island: The Birth of Kong]]'']]<br />
Millions of years ago, the Skullcrawlers arrived on [[Skull Island]], where they engaged in a protracted war with the indigenous tribe of giant apes, eventually leaving only two survivors, [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong's]] parents. When the Iwi tribe arrived on the island, they found Kong's parents continuing to wage war with the Skullcrawlers. [[Kong's mother]] became pregnant with Kong, and when she went into labor she was attacked by a pack of huge Skullcrawlers, intent on wiping out Kong's species once and for all. [[Kong's father]] tried fighting the creatures off while his mate gave birth, after which she hid her newborn son inside a cave. The Skullcrawlers then brutally slaughtered both of Kong's parents while the horrified infant watched from inside the cave.<br />
<br />
By 1996, Skullcrawlers still inhabited Skull Island but preferred to remain underground or near the Bone Yard, the location where Kong's parents were killed. Since Kong had killed the Skull Devil, seemingly the last remaining full-size Skullcrawler, the Skullcrawlers that did still live on the island were small and immature, their numbers and growth kept under control by Kong.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The Skullcrawlers' design was inspired by the [[Two-Legged Lizard]] from the original ''[[King Kong (1933 film)|King Kong]]''. Other influences included [https://evangelion.wikia.com/wiki/Sachiel Sachiel] from ''[https://evangelion.wikia.com/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_(anime)| Neon Genesis Evangelion]'', No-Face from ''Spirited Away'', and Cubone from ''[[Pokémon]]''.<ref name="Fandango">[http://www.fandango.com/movie-news/director-jordan-vogt-roberts-on-why-kong-skull-island-is-unlike-any-other-king-kong-movie-751932 Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts on Why 'Kong: Skull Island' Is Unlike Any Other 'King Kong' Movie]</ref><br />
*The Skullcrawlers and Skull Devil, at least in their role in ''Kong: Skull Island'', are reminiscent of the [[Deathrunner]]s and [[Gaw]] from the novel ''[[Kong: King of Skull Island]]''. Like the Deathrunners, the Skullcrawlers are insatiable carnivores that force the natives of [[Skull Island]] to hide behind a wall and are responsible for killing Kong's parents. Just like in the novel, Kong earns his status as the island's god by killing the Skullcrawlers and saving the island from their reign of terror.<br />

'''Piranhadon''' is a fictional species of carnivorous fish which first appeared in the [[2005]] [[:Category:Films|film]], ''[[King Kong (2005 film)|King Kong]]''.<br />
==Design==<br />
The body of a Piranhadon is comparable to a mixture of that of a serpent and fish. They are dark green above the white below with heads which resemble that of piranhas, as well as a pair of green glassy eyes. A dorsal fin runs from Piranhadon's head to its back and has two pectoral fins and two long, sensitive barbels on their lower jaws. Despite the size of their eyes, they were very imprecise and could only see in terms of the contrast between extreme light and extreme dark. Their powerful tails moved side to side in order to propel the fish through the water, and their pectoral fins were used to steer them. As a rule, the larger the Piranhadon, the faster they could swim. They boasted double-hinged jaws that allowed them to swallow most prey whole. Their peg-like teeth were designed to pin prey in place rather than cut them.<br />
==Ecology==<br />
Despite their name, Piranhadon have little resemblance to a true piranha. Instead they were named for their carnivorous habits. Piranhadon were gargantuan ambush predators that could grow as big as some whales. They mainly took terrestrial prey that came too close to the water's edge or attempted to cross the water. Because of their light-sensitive sight, Piranhadon could not easily identify underwater prey, and instead waited for shadows to appear on the surface of the water to hunt. In addition, their facial barbels could detect vibrations that indicated the footsteps of animals approaching the riverbank. The Piranhadon's prowess as ambush predators was aided by their body shape, which allowed them to make short bursts of high speed, but this also necessitated that they rest for long periods in between attacks. Because of the amount of silt and grime in the main rivers of Skull Island, and the amount of oxygen needed to sustain Piranhadon, they were restricted to the flooded jungles and narrow waterways. This was because the silt in most waters made it hard for Piranhadon to breathe. However, because of their streamlined bodies, they could move underwater without creating ripples on the surface to reveal their presence.<Ref>Weta Workshop. (November 22, 2005) ''The World of Kong'', pp. 88-89. ''Pocket Books''. ISBN-10: 1-4165-0519-9. 978-4798611372.</ref><br />
<br />
Males rarely grew larger than twenty feet in length, and vastly outnumbered the gargantuan females. In breeding season, males competed to race after the apathetic females to deposit their seed. Infants were born at five feet long, and immediately began to hunt the shallows where they ate water birds, small dinosaurs, and juvenile [[Foetodon]].<Ref>Weta Workshop. (November 22, 2005) ''The World of Kong'', pp. 90. ''Pocket Books''. ISBN-10: 1-4165-0519-9. 978-4798611372.</ref> They lurked in the shallows waiting to surge forward at silhouettes using their tails before grabbing prey and dragging it down.<br />
<br />
Often being plagued by the many [[Skull Island bugs|parasites]] of Skull Island, Piranhadons took to beaching themselves to allow birds and small lizards to clean them off. Not being able to stay on shore for long before they would be taken by heat and suffocation, Piranhadon would use their powerful abdominal fins to heave themselves back into the water.<Ref>Weta Workshop. (November 22, 2005) ''The World of Kong'', pp. 92. ''Pocket Books''. ISBN-10: 1-4165-0519-9. 978-4798611372.</ref><br />

==History==<br />
===[[King Kong (2005 film)|''King Kong'' (2005)]]===<br />
In the extended cut of Peter Jackson's 2005 ''King Kong'', a male Piranhadon is seen swimming towards a raft before attacking it and breaking it apart. This causes the raft's passengers to plummet in to the water below. The Piranhadon ate one crew member while he was trying to escape before spotting [[Jack Driscoll]] in the water. The beast swam towards him, opening its jaws in preparation of swallowing Jack. However, the Piranahdon's mouth became stuck between 2 trees, allowing for Jack Driscoll to make his escape. As the Piranhadon freed itself and went on to eat another crew member from the sunken raft, [[Carl Denham]] and a number of other passengers of a second raft close by grabbed their guns and began pelting the waters with bullets. This proved unsuccessful as the Piranhadon then flipped the second raft, once again sending the men in to the water. The remaining survivors began swimming to the closest shore, all but one making it, being swallowed whole by the Piranhadon just as it had done to the first raft's crew.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Amphibiousness===<br />
Piranhadons live underwater and can swim at a fairly quick pace.<br />
<br />
=== Durability ===<br />
Piranhadons have hard shell-like bodies that make them very resistant to normal fire weapons.<br />
<br />
===Prey detection===<br />
The Piranhadon uses its sensitive barbels to detect the approach of potential prey.<Ref>Weta Workshop. (November 22, 2005) ''The World of Kong'', pp. 87. ''Pocket Books''. ISBN-10: 1-4165-0519-9. 978-4798611372.</ref><br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
The Piranhadon's eyesight is poor, only able to see differences between light and dark.<Ref>Weta Workshop. (November 22, 2005) ''The World of Kong'', pp. 88-89. ''Pocket Books''. ISBN-10: 1-4165-0519-9. 978-4798611372.</ref><br />

While lurking in a Skull Island swamp, a 25-foot long male ''Piranhadon'' spotted a group of humans that were trying to raft across. The ''Piranhadon'' rose up through one of the rafts, destroying it. it went back underwater, where [[Jack Drsicoll]] was sinking into the muck. One sailor was trying to swim to the surface, which the monster quickly ate. However, it took notice of Driscoll as he tried to swim away and hid in a cage-like root system under the water. However, it was unable to get to him and swam off. When he reached a log and was paddling to shore with [[Preston]], the beast came back again, but was shot at by [[Carl Denham]], which drew its attention to his raft. It swam toward and underneath it, being shot at the entire way, and was able to eat some other sailors when the second raft fell apart. After the survivors made it ashore, the ''Piranhadon'' surged up out of the water and ate the last sailor to make it to land, and dragged him back with him under the black water.<br />

*Piranhadon was intended to appear in the [[2005]] [[King Kong (Franchise)|King Kong]] film, ''[[King Kong (2005 film)|King Kong]]'', but the scene was cut from the theatrical release. However it can be found on the extended version of the film on home video.<br />

During routine drilling in the Arctic, a [[Polar-Borer]] found itself boring through the seafloor and suddenly surfacing in a lake. The Borer's crew exited the craft to search the strange area in which they had found themselves, only to be eaten by a huge Tyrannosaurus rex. The crew's sole survivor, Chuck Wade, managed to escape and tell his story to Masten Thrust, head of Thrust Industries, the company that created the Polar-Borers. Thrust, an accomplished big-game hunter, was interested in hunting and killing the Tyrannosaurus, and so organized a research party that he said would travel to the bizarre underground world where the Tyrannosaurus was seen and try to document and study it. When Thrust and his crew arrived in the prehistoric world, they quickly came upon the Tyrannosaurus in the jungle, which proceeded to chase them. Thrust fired several shots from his rifle at the Tyrannosaurus, which only seemed to enrage it. Bunta, an African tracker employed by Thrust, managed to stick a spear into the creature and draw blood, but still could not bring it down. The team escaped from the Tyrannosaurus, which then traveled to their camp and destroyed it. After destroying the camp and killing expedition member Dr. Kawamoto, the Tyrannosaurus came upon the Polar-Borer and brought it to its lair. As the Tyrannosaurus tried to bury the Polar-Borer in a cave, it was suddenly attacked by a [[Triceratops]]. The Triceratops gored the Tyrannosaurus with its horns and caused it to bleed profusely, but the Tyrannosaurus gained the upper hand and bit the Triceratops on the neck, causing it to fall on its side. The Tyrannosaurus clawed into its enemy's flesh with its feet, then delivered the killing bite to the creature.<br />
<br />
The Tyrannosaurus later came upon a member of the Polar-Borer expedition, Francesca Banks, as well as a Primal Woman called Hazel, while they were near a lake. The Tyrannosaurus chased Francesca into a cave, but its head was too large for it to be able to reach her. Thrust, Bunta, and Chuck witnessed the Tyrannosaurus threatening Francesca, and quickly tied a huge boulder to the Tyrannosaurus' tail and tried to get it to chase after them. As the Tyrannosaurus chased the men, the boulder rolled down a hill, pulling the Tyrannosaurus off its feet and dragging it down the hill, after which it wandered off. Determined to kill the Tyrannosaurus once and for all, Thrust followed it into the jungle and constructed a makeshift catapult, which would launch a huge boulder directly at the Tyrannosaurus' head once it appeared from the jungle. Bunta attempted to search for the Tyrannosaurus in the jungle, only for it to appear behind him and eat him alive. When the Tyrannosaurus emerged from the jungle and became entangled in a vine trap, Thrust launched the boulder at the creature's head, causing it to fall over. However, the Tyrannosaurus simply rose to its feet and destroyed the catapult, then left. After Chuck repaired the Polar-Borer and left with Francesca, Thrust stayed behind with Hazel and wandered off into the jungle to continue to hunt the Tyrannosaurus, which he could hear roaring menacingly in the distance.<br />

After Kong departed into the jungles of Skull Island with Ann Darrow, the enormous primate paused for a moment to inspect her after she briefly passed out. While tending to her, a Tyrannosaurus rex ambushed the ape and charges it. The two had a brief battle in which the dinosaurs headbutted the ape before toppling him with a tail smack. Trying to bite Kong in the face, the theropod was thrown off and the two squared off once more. After the Tyrannosaurus charged its rival again, Kong ended the duel by landing a powerful blow to its head that knocked it out. The ape then gathered up Ann before leaving.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*It has been debated for many years whether or not the three-fingered theropod dinosaur that King Kong fought in the 1933 film was actually a Tyrannosaurus or an Allosaurus. In the film's script and [[King Kong (1932 novelization)|novelization]], it is only referred to as a "[[Meat-Eater|meat-eater]]." Director Merian C. Cooper referred to the theropod as Allosaurus, while stop-motion animators [[Willis O'Brien]] and Marcel Delgado identified it as a Tyrannosaurus.<Ref name="KongBook">Morton, Ray. (2005) ''King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson'', p. 37</ref> The dinosaur is also referred to as a "meat eater" in the 2005 rewrite of the novelization by Brad Strickland and Joe DeVito, while the novel's prequel and sequel ''[[Kong: King of Skull Island]]'' features another dinosaur that is referred to as a "meat eater." The description of the meat eater in this novel more closely matches that of a T-Rex, as it is said to possess two short arms with two digits on each.<br />
*Rudolph Zallinger's depiction of the Tyrannosaurus was used as a reference for [[Godzilla/1954|Godzilla's design]] in the [[Godzilla (1954 film)|1954 film]]<br />
*The Tyrannosaurus suit from ''[[The Last Dinosaur]]'' would be recycled for two [[Tsuburaya Productions]] [[tokusatsu]] shows. For ''[[w:c:ultra:Dinosaur Great War Izenborg|Aizenborg]]'', it was refitted with red glowing eyes and became Ururu, who was re-named Tyranis in the American film made from episodes of the show, ''Attack of the Super Monsters''. The suit returned in ''[[w:c:ultra:Dinosaur Squadron Koseidon|Koseidon]]'', where it was used to portray various saurians. One of these saurians was dubbed Tyrannosaurus Jackie, which went about killing almost all saurians near him.<br />
*For the Tyrannosaurus suit in ''The Last Dinosaur'', the suit actor's arms are placed above the head, controlling the head movement and the opening and closing of the mouth.<br />
* According to an interview with special effects designer [[Shinji Nishikawa]], for the film ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' [[Godzilla]] originally was to be revealed to have been a Tyrannosaurus rex prior to being mutated by radiation. However, Godzilla was later changed to a [[Godzillasaurus]] that was mutated instead.<ref>[http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/nishikaw.htm Shinji Nishikawa Interview]</ref><br />
*In the [[King Kong (2005 film)|2005 version of ''King Kong'']], instead of a Tyrannosaurus rex, three similar dinosaurs called [[Vastatosaurus rex]], or "V-Rex," appear. According to Peter Jackson, V-Rex is the result of Tyrannosaurus rex living isolated on [[Skull Island]] and evolving over millions of years.<br />

==Roar==<br />
The roars for the Tyrannosaurus in ''[[The Last Dinosaur]]'' were produced from a combination of [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] and [[King Kong/1962|King Kong's]] roars from ''[[King Kong vs. Godzilla]]''. In ''[[Rebirth of Mothra III]]'', the T-Rex uses [[Kaishin Muba]]'s roars.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*It has been debated for many years whether or not the three-fingered theropod dinosaur that King Kong fought in the 1933 film was actually a Tyrannosaurus or an Allosaurus. In the film's script and [[King Kong (1932 novelization)|novelization]], it is only referred to as a "[[Meat-Eater|meat-eater]]." Director Merian C. Cooper referred to the theropod as Allosaurus, while stop-motion animators [[Willis O'Brien]] and Marcel Delgado identified it as a Tyrannosaurus.<Ref name="KongBook">Morton, Ray. (2005) ''King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson'', p. 37</ref> The dinosaur is also referred to as a "meat eater" in the 2005 rewrite of the novelization by Brad Strickland and Joe DeVito, while the novel's prequel and sequel ''[[Kong: King of Skull Island]]'' features another dinosaur that is referred to as a "meat eater." The description of the meat eater in this novel more closely matches that of a T-Rex, as it is said to possess two short arms with two digits on each.<br />
*Rudolph Zallinger's depiction of the Tyrannosaurus was used as a reference for [[Godzilla/1954|Godzilla's design]] in the [[Godzilla (1954 film)|1954 film]]<br />
*The Tyrannosaurus suit from ''[[The Last Dinosaur]]'' would be recycled for two [[Tsuburaya Productions]] [[tokusatsu]] shows. For ''[[w:c:ultra:Dinosaur Great War Izenborg|Aizenborg]]'', it was refitted with red glowing eyes and became Ururu, who was re-named Tyranis in the American film made from episodes of the show, ''Attack of the Super Monsters''. The suit returned in ''[[w:c:ultra:Dinosaur Squadron Koseidon|Koseidon]]'', where it was used to portray various saurians. One of these saurians was dubbed Tyrannosaurus Jackie, which went about killing almost all saurians near him.<br />
*For the Tyrannosaurus suit in ''The Last Dinosaur'', the suit actor's arms are placed above the head, controlling the head movement and the opening and closing of the mouth.<br />
* According to an interview with special effects designer [[Shinji Nishikawa]], for the film ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' [[Godzilla]] originally was to be revealed to have been a Tyrannosaurus rex prior to being mutated by radiation. However, Godzilla was later changed to a [[Godzillasaurus]] that was mutated instead.<ref>[http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/nishikaw.htm Shinji Nishikawa Interview]</ref><br />
*In the [[King Kong (2005 film)|2005 version of ''King Kong'']], instead of a Tyrannosaurus rex, three similar dinosaurs called [[Vastatosaurus rex]], or "V-Rex," appear. According to Peter Jackson, V-Rex is the result of Tyrannosaurus rex living isolated on [[Skull Island]] and evolving over millions of years.<br />

'''[[Anguirus]]''' {{Nihongo|アンギラス|Angirasu}} is a giant ''Ankylosaurus''-like [[kaiju]] who first appears in episode 4 of the [[2021]] animated series, ''[[Godzilla Singular Point]]''.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
Anguirus' Japanese name, ''Angirasu'' (アンギラス), comes from the Japanese spelling of the name of the dinosaur genus ''Ankylosaurus'' {{Nihongo|アンキロサウルス|Ankirosaurusu}}, upon which the monster's design is based. The name was chosen from several names proposed by employees of [[Toho]] during production of ''[[Godzilla Raids Again]]''. <br />
==Design==<br />
This version of [[Anguirus]] maintains the traditional design of the character's head, with an elongated snout tipped with a singular nose horn, but with spikes running up its forehead into the large spikes at the back of his head and still more spikes running down his cheeks. His body is closer to an ''Ankylosaurus'', with thick, armored legs and a more rounded body. The shoulders slope up into a hunchback, where it quickly slopes down to the tail. The carapace covers the entirety of the back and hangs off the body as it comes to an end. A row of three spikes runs down each side of his neck, while starting at his shoulder rows of seven spikes run down his carapace. Once the carapace splits, 5 rows of spines run down his tail towards a spiked club on its tip. Like many of the monsters in Singular Point, it has multiple rows of teeth, with the addition of penguin-like barbs on his tongue.<br />
==Personality==<br />
Anguirus is a playful and curious kaiju, jumping around recklessly when alone and playing with the downed body of Jet Jaguar. Once provoked or wounded, Anguirus becomes highly aggressive and lashes out at nearby objects and creatures.<br />
==History==<br />
===[[Reiwa era]]===<br />
====''[[Godzilla Singular Point]]''====<br />
====="[[Gadabout]]"=====<br />
After the death of a swarm of Rodan, their carcasses were gathered up for research and disposal. Finding the site, Anguirus stole one of these carcasses and ate it in the nearby forest. It then traveled to a nearby highway, where it attacked an elderly couple and overturned their vehicle. A JSDF unit was dispatched to investigate, believing the culprit to have been a surviving Rodan. One soldier had arrived only to come face to face with the armored kaiju and fire on it, seemingly getting killed by Anguirus.<br />
====="[[Theorist]]"=====<br />
Yun encountered Anguirus in a ravine, accidentally gaining its attention when it stepped on a stick. While at first curious about Yun, the arrival of Haberu and a pair of hunters startled the kaiju. The hunters fired on Anguirus, but their bullets were deflected by the monster's carapace, distracting the humans long enough for Anguirus to escape. Within a few days, a plan to catch Anguirus was organized by Goro Otaki and his friendly rival Genzo in an evacuated golf course; Goro in a modified Jet Jaguar, and Gen with a harpoon mounted on his truck. However, the trap was soon ruined when Anguirus arrived, having grown from just taller than a human to towering over the truck. Gen attempted to engage the armored kaiju, but his harpoon was deflected, toppling the truck. Just as Anguirus closed in on the man, Goro intervened with Jet Jaguar and prepared to engage the kaiju.<br />
====="[[Enfacto]]"=====<br />
Anguirus battled Jet Jaguar on the golf course, eventually overpowering the mech and playing with its limp body before heading towards a tent for onlookers. The soldier escort guarding them quickly took action and fired on the kaiju, only for their bullets to deflect back to them and destroy one of their trucks, forcing the other to retreat. Anguirus trampled on towards the tent until Jet Jaguar reengaged it with Genzo's harpoon, shooting the kaiju in the chest and seemingly killing it. The mayor, who had attended the event, took the opportunity to showcase how he handled such threats while filming in front of the corpse, when Anguirus suddenly woke up, having only been asphyxiated, and went on a rampage through a nearby parking lot, smashing several cars and wrecking Jet Jaguar with ease. Yun and his AI Jung took control of Jet Jaguar and began luring the kaiju until it jumped, allowing Jet Jaguar to shoot Anguirus in the head and finally killing it.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Precognitive shield===<br />
Anguirus is able to briefly see into the future by vibrating his spikes which produces an energy field. The subsequent energy field also acts as a shield from attacks by seemingly absorbing kinetic energy.<br />
===Physical abilities===<br />
Anguirus mainly relies on shoving matches in combat, which was strong enough to overturn a van in his smaller form and halt a charging Jet Jaguar. Anguirus can travel at great speeds on land, able to catch up with a speeding truck. It also seems Anguirus is quite stealthy in that it was able to steal one of the Rodan carcasses and eat it without anyone noticing, silently stalk a JSDF platoon, and disappear while Yun, Haberu, Kai, and a duo of hunters weren't looking. <br />
===Clubbed tail===<br />
Anguirus' most dangerous attack is its clubbed tail, one strike easily decapitated Jet Jaguar and others briefly taking the robot out of the fight.<br />
<br />
=== Spike projectiles ===<br />
In the browser game, Godzilla Singular Point: Escape!! Radio Wave Monster Rodan! He is able to shoot spike projectiles out of him, these appear quit useful, as they can destroy Jet Jaguar on impact.<br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
Anguirus is much less durable than most kaiju. While most firearms leave no permanent damage if they pierce his skin, Genzo's harpoon heavily injured and later killed Anguirus. Alongside this, weapons fired at point blank range will not allow Anguirus to dodge them.<br />

==Video games==<br />
*''[[Godzilla Singular Point: Escape!! Radio Wave Monster Rodan!]]'' (2021) - iOS, Android, PC<br />
==Roar==<br />
This Anguirus maintains the character's iconic roar. After when he finishes toying with Jet Jaguar, he lets out a fainted Tyrannosaurus rex roar from Jurassic Park.<br />

'''''Godzilla Singular Point: Escape!! Radio Wave Monster Rodan!''''' {{Nihongo|ゴジラS.P 逃ゲロ!!電波怪獣ラドンダ!|Gojira Shingyura Pointo Nigero Denpa Kaijū Radon Da}} is a [[Japan]]ese web game tie-in for the [[2021]] [[:Category:Animation|anime]] [[:Category:Television Series|series]] ''[[Godzilla Singular Point]]''. An endless runner, it involves the player controlling [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]], [[Harvey]], or [[Jet Jaguar]] through waves of [[kaiju]] and other obstacles. The game was released on April 15, 2021, and taken offline on May 1, though it can still be played through the Wayback Machine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://godzilla-sp.jp/news/210415_01.html|title= 期間限定無料ゲーム配信開始!&プレゼントキャンペーン実施!|date=15 April 2021|work=godzilla-sp.jp}}</ref><ref name="GSP archived">[https://web.archive.org/web/20210430002642/https://game.godzilla-sp.jp/]</ref> It was relaunched and updated on May 27 to include additional monsters and will be playable until June 30.<ref name="GSP browser game reloaded">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/GODZILLA_SP/status/1397915501297274881|title= 本日放送の #クモンガ #ハネンガ が大量発生した第9話のテレビ放送を記念し、期間限定SPecialミニゲーム”#逃ゲロ電波怪獣ラドンダ“がパワーアップして再配信!ラドン、クモンガ、そして未来予知するあの怪獣も...! ▼配信期間 5/27(木)23:00~6/30(水)12:00 ▼ゲームプレイ https://game.godzilla-sp.jp|author=@GODZILLA_SP|date=27 May 2021|work=Twitter}}</ref><br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
Waves of [[Rodan/Singular Point|Rodan]] and [[Kumonga|Kumonga]] attack the employees of [[Otaki Factory]] and their machines as they drive through a city. The player starts by steering [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]] on their [[Honda Gyro Canopy|Gyro Canopy Tandem 2]]. Pill-shaped power-ups will periodically appear, flashing yellow, red, and blue. The player will turn into [[Harvey]] if they drive into the pill when it is yellow, [[Jet Jaguar]] if it is red, and back into the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2 if it is blue. Points accumulate through continued survival and swatting monsters; the number of monsters they evade is also noted. In the updated version, all monsters will count for points and will add to the evade counter.<br />
<br />
The Rodan vary in both size (small, medium, large) and color (bright, dull). The large Rodan can release multiple small Rodan from their bodies before charging forward themselves. Bright Rodan will simply move in a straight line from the top of the screen to the bottom (aside from the large variants, who will move backwards when unleashing their spawn), while dull Rodan will move diagonally towards the space where the player was located when each monster began its charge.<br />
<br />
After wave 10, small flying [[Kamanga and Hanenga|Hanenga]], faster than any adult Rodan, will appear. [[Kumonga]] appear a wave later, creating lines of web that must be avoided. On wave 12, Anguirus will run from the bottom of the screen to the top. He will shoot small spikes in a radius which will kill the player if touched.<br />
<br />
The player starts with two lives (translating to three chances); if they make contact with a parked vehicle, sign post, or certain monsters, they will lose one life and restart the wave as the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2. The motorcycle has no resistances against monsters, while Harvey and Jet Jaguar are immune to certain types. Harvey will swat away small bright Rodan, while Jet Jaguar can dispatch Hanenga and all small and medium-sized Rodan. The game ends when the player loses all their lives, at which point they will be given the option to Tweet their score.<br />
<br />
In the original version of the game, the only monster the player encountered was Rodan, and Jet Jaguar could be destroyed by dull medium-sized Rodan.<br />

==Gameplay==<br />
Waves of [[Rodan/Singular Point|Rodan]] and [[Kumonga|Kumonga]] attack the employees of [[Otaki Factory]] and their machines as they drive down an endless city street. The player starts by steering [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]] on their [[Honda Gyro Canopy|Gyro Canopy Tandem 2]]. Pill-shaped power-ups will periodically appear, flashing yellow, red, and blue. The player will turn into [[Harvey]] if they drive into the pill when it is yellow, [[Jet Jaguar]] if it is red, and back into the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2 if it is blue. Points accumulate through continued survival and swatting Rodan; the number of Rodan they evade is also noted. In the updated version, all monsters will count for points and will ad to the evade counter.<br />
<br />
The Rodan vary in both size (small, medium, large) and color (bright, dull). The large Rodan can release multiple small Rodan from their bodies before charging forward themselves. Bright Rodan will simply move in a straight line from the top of the screen to the bottom (aside from the large variants, who will move backwards when unleashing their spawn), while dull Rodan will move diagonally towards the space where the player was located when each monster began its charge.<br />
<br />
In the the updated version, [[Kamanga and Hanenga|Hanenga]], [[Kumonga]], and [[Anguirus/Singular Point|Anguirus]] now appear. After wave 10, small flying Hanenga menace the crew of Otaki factory, faster than any adult Rodans. [[Kumonga]] appear a wave later, and create lines of web that must be avoided. On wave 12 Anguirus will come from the bottom of the screen, running towards the top of the screen. He will shoot small spikes in a radius which will kill the player if touched.<br />

The player starts with two lives (translating to three chances); if they make contact with a parked vehicle, sign post, or certain monsters, they will lose one life and restart the wave as the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2.

'''''Godzilla Singular Point: Escape!!

An endless runner, it involves the player controlling [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]], [[Harvey]], or [[Jet Jaguar]] through waves of [[kaiju]] and other obstacles.

==Gameplay==<br />
Waves of [[Rodan/Singular Point|Rodan]] and [[Kumonga|Kumonga]] attack the employees of [[Otaki Factory]] and their machines as they drive down an endless city street. The player starts by steering [[Yun Arikawa|Yun]] and [[Haberu Kato|Haberu]] on their [[Honda Gyro Canopy|Gyro Canopy Tandem 2]]. Pill-shaped power-ups will periodically appear, flashing yellow, red, and blue. The player will turn into [[Harvey]] if they drive into the pill when it is yellow, [[Jet Jaguar]] if it is red, and back into the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2 if it is blue. Points accumulate through continued survival and swatting Rodan; the number of Rodan they evade is also noted. In the updated version, all monsters will count for points and will ad to the evade counter.<br />
<br />
The Rodan vary in both size (small, medium, large) and color (bright, dull). The large Rodan can release multiple small Rodan from their bodies before charging forward themselves. Bright Rodan will simply move in a straight line from the top of the screen to the bottom (aside from the large variants, who will move backwards when unleashing their spawn), while dull Rodan will move diagonally towards the space where the player was located when each monster began its charge.<br />
<br />
In the the updated version, [[Kamanga and Hanenga|Hanenga]], [[Kumonga]], [[Anguirus/Singular Point|Anguirus]], and [[Salunga]] now appear. After wave 10, small flying Hanenga menace the crew of Otaki factory, faster than any adult Rodans. [[Kumonga]] appear a wave later, and create lines of web that must be avoided. On wave 12 Anguirus will come from the bottom of the screen, running towards the top of the screen. He will shoot small spikes in a radius which will kill the player if touched.<br />
<br />
The player starts with two lives (translating to three chances); if they make contact with a parked vehicle, sign post, or certain monsters, they will lose one life and restart the wave as the Gyro Canopy Tandem 2. The motorcycle has no resistances against Rodan, while Harvey and Jet Jaguar are immune to certain types. Harvey will swat away small bright Rodan, while Jet Jaguar can dispatch all small and medium sized Rodan and Hanenga. The game ends when the player loses all their lives, at which point they will be given the option to Tweet their score.<br />

'''Foetodon''' is a fictional species of large predatory reptile that appears in the [[2005]] [[:Category:Films|film]] ''[[King Kong (2005 film)|King Kong]]'' and the [[2021]] [[MonsterVerse]] film ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]''. They are crocodilian denizens of [[Skull Island]] in the former and unclassified reptiles from [[Hollow Earth]] in the latter.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
Foetoedon means "sinking tooth", while its full species name in ''[[King Kong (2005 film)|King Kong]]'', ''Foetodon ferrus'', means "cruel sinking tooth."<Ref name="WoK"/> In production of the 2005 ''King Kong'', the Foetodon was referred to by Weta Workshop as the "wetasaur" in reference to the digital effects company.<ref>Fordham, Joe. (Januray 2006) Return of the King. ''Cinefex'', 104, p. 68</ref> The Foetodon was given this temporary name because Weta felt there was no-real world analog to the creature for most of its design phase.<ref name="IGN">Head, Steve. (December 16, 2005) [http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/12/17/ign-interviews-the-weta-workshop-design-team?page=2 IGN Interviews the Weta Workshop Design Team - Page 2]. ''IGN''</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]'', the Foetodon is only named in the film's English audio description.<ref>[https://twitter.com/nifanatic/status/1381775049682739206]</ref> <ref>[https://twitter.com/omegafreelancer/status/1381631904584175618]</ref> The [[Godzilla vs. Kong: The Official Movie Novelization|film's novelization]] simply calls them "lizard-like monsters," while ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong: One Will Fall - The Art of the Ultimate Battle Royale]]'' calls them "Scaly Quadrupeds." '''Doug''' (or '''''Titanus Doug''''') has become a popular nickname among fans, even enjoying director [[Adam Wingard]]'s support.<ref name="AMA">[https://www.reddit.com/r/GODZILLA/comments/mw71gb/im_adam_wingard_director_of_godzilla_vs_kong_ama/gvgx5uu/ Adam Wingard AMA on r/Godzilla. 22 April 2021.]</ref><br />

In an early draft of the script for ''[[King Kong (2005 film)|King Kong]]'', the Foetodon's role was filled by a carnivorous dinosaur.<ref>[http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/King-Kong.html Undated ''King Kong'' script]</ref> Late in the design process, Peter Jackson requested a new dinosaur be made by Weta Workshop.<ref name="DinoAngry">(May 21, 2007) [https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20070701211955/http://www.wetanz.com:80/holics/index.php?itemid=281&catid=5 Dino is Angry at World].

Archived from the [http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=431&catid=5 original] on October 17, 2008.</ref> Christian Pearce created a design titled "[[Tartarusaurus]]" which he described as being "dragon-like" in appearance with a "questionable anatomical reality." Though the design was rejected, Pearce said it helped "steer [Weta Workshop] in the right direction, if only by showing one path [they] didn't want to take."<Ref name="Kongcept"/> The name of this design, "Tartarusaurus", would later be reused for another carnivorous reptilian quadruped in ''The World of Kong''.<br />
<br />
Jackson ultimately led the team at Weta Workshop to pursue a design that was closer to a lizard than a dragon.<Ref name="Kongcept"/> Further along the design process of the Foetodon, Weta used a cast of a Komodo dragon as a reference for the creature. Jackson then suggested that the lizard have growths on its face, so in response Weta added diseased boils to the creature and made its mouth filthier.<ref name="Cinefex"/><br />
==Design==<br />
In ''King Kong'', Foetodon superficially resembles a large lizard with a short blunt head. It has crocodilian osteoderms running down its neck and back and crocodilian webbed feet. In the film, they are shown to have what appears to be a mouth disease. It is explained in ''The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island'' that this is a mouth infection contracted from leaf litter. This infection would disfigure the animal so much so that Foetodon's skull would frequently bear cruel scars because of it.<ref name="WoK"/> In the MonsterVerse they have much shorter faces and the osteoderms on their back resemble dorsal plates to an extent.<br />
<br />
In ''Godzilla vs. Kong'', the Foetodon is more rotund in physique with large, amber-coloured eyes and shorter legs. Its osteoderms are also more jagged in shape, and somewhat resemble those found on the [[Hellhawk]]s, another species inhabiting the Hollow Earth.<br />
<br />
==Origins==<br />
The book ''The World of Kong'' states that Foetodon descended from crocodilian ancestors.<ref name="WoK"/> In the [[MonsterVerse]], they are said to be closely related to Godzilla.<br />
==Ecology==<br />
Despite being land-based predators, the Foetodons in [[King Kong (2005 film)|''King Kong'']] sported a large and powerful tail that was necessary for their largely aquatic young. On land their powerful back legs launched them forward out of dug out, covered pits along jungle game trails to crush whatever prey came near with their horrible jaws. Their place as ambush predators was necessitated by their poor eyesight. Because of this, Foetodon were not particular in their prey and would attack whatever came their way, depending on their powerful bite to take it down.<br />
<br />
They were not built for sustained speed, but they could surge forth and disable prey with immense speed and power. Their bite could shatter bones, meaning that even in the off chance that their first bite did not kill, their prey would still be unable to escape. Their strong sense of smell allowed them to easily track wounded prey. They also fed on [[Skull Island bugs|invertebrates]] in the leaf litter, which juvenile Foetodon fed on exclusively. The layers of rotting vegetable matter also provided young Foetodon security from other predators and adults of their species.<br />
==History==<br />
===[[King Kong (2005 film)|''King Kong'' (2005)]]===<br />
A Foetodon ate the carcass of a [[Ligocristus]] in the jungle, and when [[Ann Darrow]] saw it, she backed away to hide behind a tree, where another Foetodon spotted her and snapped at her. It missed, but started to chase her, while the other Foetodon followed. As the two reptiles continued to chase her, Darrow fled into a log. One of the Foetodon barged into the log, splitting the bark as it struggled. However, it was bitten and lifted off the ground by a juvenile [[Vastatosaurus rex]] as the other Foetodon watched before running away into the jungle. The carcass hung limply in the jaws of the Vastatosaurus as it chased after Darrow. The Vastatosaurus thrashed its head around, causing the Foetodon<nowiki>'</nowiki>s head to fall off of its body. The larger dinosaur then re-positioned the carcass to swallow it relatively whole. After turning its attention to Darrow, it soon found itself in battle against [[King Kong/2005|King Kong]]. Another Vastatosaurus seemingly caught and ate the second Foetodon before joining the fight.<br />
===[[MonsterVerse]]===<br />
====''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]''====<br />
As [[Arachno-claw]]s scattered in [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong]]'s wake, a Foetodon seized the initiative, snatching up one crab in its jaws. Two others watched Kong from afar as he continued running.<br />

'''Kumonga''' {{Nihongo|クモンガ|Kumonga}} is a giant spider [[kaiju]] who first appeared in the [[1967]] [[Toho]] ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' [[:Category:Godzilla Films|film]], ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''.<br />
<br />
In his first appearance in ''Son of Godzilla'', Kumonga was a giant spider native to [[Sollgel Island]] which slept in a valley on the island. Awakened by a stray boulder kicked into his valley by [[Minilla]], Kumonga began threatening a team of humans stranded on the island and eventually captured both Minilla and [[Kamacuras]]. Kumonga was killed by the combined might of Minilla and [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]], but a second Kumonga appeared in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'', where it was one of the monsters contained on [[Monsterland]] at the end of the 20th century. Kumonga assisted Godzilla and the monsters of Earth in the battle against [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]], trapping King Ghidorah under webbing alongside [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra]]. Kumonga reappeared in the final film of the [[Millennium era|Millennium series]], ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', where he was under the control of the [[Xiliens]] and unleashed in Arizona. Kumonga battled [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] in [[New Guinea]] under the invaders' commands, but was defeated.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
Kumonga's name comes from ''kumo'' {{Nihongo|クモ}}, which is the [[Japan]]ese word for "spider." The Kumonga featured in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'' is sometimes referred to in books as '''Second Generation Kumonga''' {{Nihongo|二代目クモンガ|Nidaime Kumonga}},<ref>{{cite book|title=Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah Monster Complete Works (ゴジラvsキングギドラ 怪獣大全集)|author=Iwata, Toshiaka and Koichiro Ono|date=December 5, 1991|publisher=Kodansha|page=75|isbn=4-06-177720-3}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Godzilla Dictionary (ゴジラ大辞典)|author=Nomura, Kōhei|date=December 5, 2004|publisher=Kasakura Publishing|page=85|isbn=4773002921}}</ref> while the Kumonga from ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'' is called '''Kumonga (3rd Generation)''' {{Nihongo|クモンガ(3代目)|Kumonga Sandaime}}.<ref>{{cite book|title=Godzilla Dictionary [New Edition] (ゴジラ大辞典【新装版】)|author=Nomura, Kōhei|date=August 7, 2014|publisher=Kasakura Publishing|page=380|isbn=978-4-7730-8725-3}}</ref><br />
<br />
Kumonga's name in the English dubs of ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'' and ''Destroy All Monsters'' is '''Spiga''' or '''Spiega''', which comes from "spider."<br />
==Development==<br />
[[File:SOG_-_Kumonga_Puppet.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A concept maquette of Kumonga]]<br />
Kumonga was designed by [[Yasuyuki Inoue]] and modeled by [[Teizo Toshimitsu]] and [[Kanju Yagi and Yasuei Yagi|Yasuei Yagi]]. The original Kumonga prop was approximately 5 meters long.<ref name="40th">{{cite book|title=40th Anniversary Godzilla Complete Works|publisher=[[Kodansha]]|date=1994|pages=117, 143|isbn=406178417X}}</ref> Much like the [[Mothra]] larva's silk, Kumonga's webbing was created using rubber dissolved with thinner and sprayed through a mechanism in the prop's mouth. A full-scale model of Kumonga's leg was constructed for scenes of the kaiju attacking the [[humans|human]] characters.<ref name="1954-1999">{{cite book|title=[[Godzilla 1954-1999 Super Complete Works]]|date=1 January [[2000]]|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|page=122|isbn=978-4091014702}}</ref> Along with that for [[Kamacuras]], the wirework and puppetry used to bring Kumonga to life has been widely praised and recognized.<ref name="1954-1999"/><ref name="TSEMCW">{{cite book|title=[[Toho Special Effects Movie Complete Works]]|date=28 September 2012|publisher=[[villagebooks]]|pages=119, 121, 287|isbn=9784864910132}}</ref> Nearly 20 people were required to operate the piano wires controlling the Kumonga prop from a beam above the set, where they were exposed to the intense heat of the studio lights which reportedly caused their sweat to pour down onto the set like rain.<ref name="40th"/> This required virtually all of the filmmaking crew to be involved with the wirework except for the directors and actors.<ref name="TSEMCW"/> Two days were required to shoot the film's climactic monster battle, with director of special effects [[Sadamasa Arikawa]] remarking that the filmmakers struggled greatly with the wirework for Kumonga and encountered many difficulties. However, Arikawa was impressed by the end result on film, and pleased that audiences were impressed by the puppetry of Kumonga.<ref name="40th"/><br />

<br />
The Kumonga prop was used again for the monster's role in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'' the following year, along with stock footage of the monster from ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''. The only difference with the Kumonga prop in this film was that its eyes were permanently red, while in the prior film they shifted between blue and red based on the monster's mood. Stock footage of Kumonga from ''Son of Godzilla'' was utilized for the monster's role in the following film, ''[[All Monsters Attack]]''.<br />

Kumonga was among the many kaiju not seen since the [[Showa era|Showa series]] to be brought back for Godzilla's 50th anniversary film, ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', in [[2004]]. [[Shinji Nishikawa]] redesigned Kumonga for this film along with most of the other returning monster. He kept the monster's design more or less intact, but removed one of the moving joints from each of his legs. The new Kumonga prop was modeled by [[Shinichi Wakasa]]'s company MONSTERS. The scene where [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] swings Kumonga through the air was filmed with the assistance of a crane truck on an open set.<ref name="TSEMCW"/><br />

==Design==<br />
Kumonga is a gigantic spider, with a mostly black body covered in gold stripes. Kumonga's body has some tufts of black hair on it, most prominently on its legs. Kumonga's head possesses six eyes, which are usually blue but in ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'' shift to red when the monster is agitated and are permanently red in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''. Kumonga possesses chelicerae and fangs around its mouth. In the [[Showa era|Showa series]], Kumonga's mouth is filled with urticating bristles and can project a venomous stinger, while these features are not present in the [[Millennium era|Millennium]] incarnation. Kumonga has eight legs, each with three articulated joints in the Showa series and only two in the Millennium series. In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', Kumonga has brighter and more numerous gold stripes on its body, and its body is more angled toward the ground. The black on its body is also somewhat lighter and the texture of its body is smoother. In [[Godzilla Singular Point|''Godzilla Singular Point'']], Kumonga is hybridized with [[Megalon]], with Megalon's drill claws being attached to its legs, a point on the small abdomen resembling Megalon's horn, and a face resembling Megalon's with the addition of four spider eyes in the forehead. The front legs of Kumonga are also longer then the rest, serving a mantis-claw like function reminiscent of Kamacuras.<br />
==Personality==<br />
In ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'', Kumonga is a vicious predator that attacks anything it sees. Kumonga is not averse to attacking humans, as it spends a good deal of time trying to capture Saeko and Goro and later attacking them and the team of scientists in a cave. Kumonga also appears to be highly territorial, and will attack other monsters who damage or enter their domain. The Kumonga in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'' is shown to live peacefully with the other monsters on [[Monsterland]], and assists them in the final battle against [[King Ghidorah]]. <br />
<br />
In the main [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]] comics published by [[IDW Publishing]], Kumonga appears to simply be a rampaging monster at first, but by the final arc of ''[[Godzilla: Ongoing]]'' becomes a loyal ally to the other Earth monsters and [[Kiryu]] against the invading space monsters. Kumonga even hitches a ride on Kiryu's back from [[Monster Island]] to [[New York]] to help [[Mothra]] battle [[Monster X]]. In ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'', Kumonga takes part in the final battle in Los Angeles against the [[Trilopod]]s alongside the other Earth monsters.<br />
==Origins==<br />
According to the research of Dr. Matsumiya, Kumonga is a gigantic spider native to [[Sollgel Island]], which while not active and hunting hibernates for years at a time under a valley. It is unknown if Kumonga was affected at all by the radiation storms on the island that mutated the native giant praying mantises into [[Kamacuras]], or if it was simply always 45 meters tall. Kumonga was actually one of the earliest kaiju to be discovered, as Dr. Matsumiya discovered it sometime prior to [[1955]], however the creature was confined to the island and only known to Matsumiya and his daughter [[Saeko Matsumiya|Saeko]] until [[1967]].<br />

==History==<br />
===[[Showa era]]===<br />
====''[[Son of Godzilla]]''====<br />
[[File:Kumonga1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'']]While protecting [[Saeko Matsumiya]] from a [[Kamacuras]], [[Minilla]] accidentally knocked a boulder into Kumonga's valley, awakening the giant spider from its sleep. Kumonga attacked Saeko and [[Goro Maki]] when they tried to reach Saeko's cave, but they escaped. Kumonga followed them to the cave and tried to break in, trapping them and the scientists there. Kumonga left and trapped the Kamacuras and Minilla in its web. Kumonga killed the Kamacuras with its venom, but [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] arrived before it could do the same to Minilla. Kumonga and Godzilla battled, with Kumonga damaging Godzilla's eye and trapping him in webbing. Minilla came to his father's aid, and eventually, Godzilla and his son were able to defeat Kumonga by blasting it at the same time with their atomic breath, setting the giant spider ablaze.<br />
====''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''====<br />
[[File:Godzilla.jp_-_9_-_SoshingekiKumo_Kumonga_1968.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'']]By the end of the 20th century, a second Kumonga was living on [[Monsterland]] alongside the other monsters of Earth. One day, the [[Kilaaks]] attacked the island and took control of the monsters, sending them to attack various cities across the world. After the humans severed the Kilaaks' control over the monsters, Kumonga and the other monsters prepared to assault the aliens' base under [[Mount Fuji]]. The Kilaaks responded by sending [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]] to attack the Earth monsters. Kumonga and [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra]] assisted in the battle by encasing King Ghidorah in webbing. Kumonga was then returned to the island along with the other monsters to live in peace.<br />
===''[[All Monsters Attack]]''===<br />
While visiting [[Monster Island]] within his dreams, [[Ichiro Miki]] and [[Minilla]] watched [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] battle Kumonga. Some of Kumonga's webbing was sprayed above them, forcing them to head to safer ground.<br />
===''[[Godzilla vs. Gigan]]''===<br />
By [[1972]], Kumonga was one of many monsters coexisting peacefully on [[Monster Island]]. However, the evil [[M Space Hunter Nebula Alien]]s intended to exterminate all of the monsters on the island before they could interfere with their conquest of Earth. Fortunately, [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] and [[Anguirus]] learned of the invaders' nefarious plan and defeated them along with their pawns [[Gigan]] and [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]], securing the safety of their fellow inhabitants of Monster Island. <br />
{{clear}}<br />
===[[Millennium era]]===<br />
====''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]''====<br />
[[File:Godzilla.jp - Kumonga 2004.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'']]In 20XX, Kumonga appeared in Arizona and destroyed a trailer park in Monument Valley before being suddenly teleported away along with all of the other monsters rampaging across Earth by the [[Xiliens]], who claimed to want to save Earth. However, the Xiliens' true motives were revealed, and the [[Controller of Planet X]] unleashed all of the monsters to resume their destruction of the planet's major cities. In response, the [[Earth Defense Force]] freed [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] from [[Area G]] and had him defeat the Xiliens' monsters. The Controller unleashed Kumonga in [[New Guinea]] to battle Godzilla. Kumonga was able to use its jumping ability to avoid Godzilla's attacks while trapping him in webbing, but Godzilla grabbed one of Kumonga's web strands and swung it through the air before letting go, sending Kumonga soaring over the horizon.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
===''[[Godziban]]''===<br />
Kumonga appeared in the background along with [[Varan]] and [[Manda]] when [[Godzilla-kun]] led the charge against [[King Ghidorah]] in episode 12.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Web===<br />
[[File:All_Monsters_Attack_-_Kumonga_fires_web.png|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga spits webbing.]]<br />
Kumonga can spit thick strands of incredibly strong webbing from his mouth. Not only is this webbing effective at trapping human prey, but is equally capable of trapping other [[kaiju]] such as [[Minilla]] and [[Kamacuras]]. This webbing can only be destroyed by heat, allowing [[Goro Maki]] to free himself and [[Saeko Matsumiya]] and both [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] and Minilla to block a stream of webbing with their atomic breath. Godzilla is physically strong enough to tear through the webbing, though it is still capable of temporarily ensnaring him and dragging him to the ground. In ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'', Kumonga used his webbing in conjunction with [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra's]] silk to restrain [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah's]] carcass.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', Kumonga is capable of not only spitting strands of webbing but can also fire jets of webbing that expand in midair into massive nets. He used them to try and trap [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] to some success, though Godzilla eventually triumphed by catching one of Kumonga's webbing strands.<br />
<gallery widths="120" position="center" captionalign="center" spacing="small"><br />
Final_Wars_-_Webbed_Godzilla.png|[[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] is ensnared in Kumonga's webbing net.<br />
</gallery><br />
===Stinger===<br />
Kumonga possesses a venomous stinger which he can project from his mouth. The venom from this stinger was capable of killing Kamacuras instantly. Kumonga attempted to inject this venom into Minilla but was stopped by the arrival of Godzilla. Kumonga landed a hit on Godzilla's eye with his stinger, which only temporarily blinded Godzilla's eye and did not have any more lethal effects.<br />
===Legs===<br />
[[File:KumongaShowaG03Ver2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga attacks a group of [[humans]] with his leg.]]<br />
Kumonga possesses eight extremely long multi-jointed legs which he uses both for movement and to attack prey. Kumonga's legs are tipped with clawed talons which allowed him to grab humans, though he was not successful in capturing any of them. Kumonga can extend his legs to raise himself further off the ground, shown when he extended himself to Godzilla's height and tackled him to the ground in ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''. Kumonga's legs allow for versatile movement, as he can scale valley walls, crawl across the ground, or in ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' leap across great distances.<br />
<br />
=== Flight ===<br />
In Godzilla Singular Point, there is various categories of Kumonga. One of which has wings, giving them the ability to fly.<br />
<br />
===Durability===<br />
Kumonga is able to withstand multiple hits from Godzilla and Minilla's atomic breath, though a concentrated blast from both of them at the same time succeeded in killing him. Gunfire is ineffective against Kumonga, though it does cause him to react and at one point release one of the humans he has grabbed. In ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'', Kumonga survives having his web nest set ablaze by [[Gigan]], and later appears to have regenerated one of his legs which Gigan had earlier severed.<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
Kumonga is vulnerable to heat. His otherwise-indestructible webbing can be cut with simple flame, and sustained blasts from Godzilla and Minilla's atomic breath set him on fire and killed him. In ''Godzilla: Rulers of Earth'', Kumonga was defeated but not killed when Gigan set his web on fire. In ''Final Wars'', Kumonga's strength was inferior to that of Godzilla, who was able to toss him over the skyline after catching a strand of his webbing.<br />

While [[Godzilla]] was moving across rural Mongolia, he fell into a quicksand trap that Kumonga had set for him. Kumonga then proceeded to wrap Godzilla in webbing, saving his meal for another day. However, Godzilla burst free from the webbing using his nuclear pulse and started fighting Kumonga. Kumonga bit Godzilla on the lower neck and Godzilla countered by ripping off one of Kumonga's legs and beating him with it. As Kumonga tried to run away, Godzilla batted him away with his tail, sending Kumonga bouncing across the ground and knocking him unconscious.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: Ongoing]]''===<br />
Kumonga appeared in [[Mexico]] during the wedding of Urv, an old friend of [[Boxer]], killing Urv's groom and his other family and friends. Boxer's "Kaiju Kill Crew" eventually subdued Kumonga and took him to the [[Monster Island]] facility. Later, [[Kiryu]] freed the captured monsters from the island so that they could fight off the space monsters. Kumonga hitched a ride on Kiryu's back and accompanied him to [[New York City]] to fight [[Monster X]]. Monster X defeated both monsters, but [[Godzilla]] arrived before he could destroy them.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: The Half-Century War]]''===<br />
Kumonga was one of the many monsters seen battling in Ghana in 1975.<br />

[[File:RoE_Kumonga.jpg|thumb|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'']]Kumonga had created a spiderweb system at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in [[Arizona]]. When [[Gigan]], blinded from his earlier battle with [[Anguirus]] and [[Rodan]], wandered into Kumonga's web, Kumonga attacked him. The fight ended with one of Kumonga's legs severed and its web system being set ablaze, after which Gigan escaped. After his fight with Gigan, Kumonga was transported to the [[Monster Island]]s, where it lived among the other captured [[kaiju]]. When the [[Trilopod]]s invaded, Kumonga was one of the first to fall to them, having his DNA copied by the alien arthropods. Kumonga was contained within the Trilopod hive while the Trilopod that copied him attacked [[Godzilla]]. Kumonga was later freed from the hive by a rampaging [[King Caesar]]. He took part in the fight against the Trilopods and [[Magita]] alongside the other Earth monsters. After Godzilla beat the massive alien beast, Kumonga followed him into the ocean. <br />
<br />
Kumonga's image was also seen on the massive cave painting on [[Infant Island]] as part of the land section.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors]]''===<br />
In the [[Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors Issue 1|first issue]], Cedric cited Godzilla's battle with Kumonga as an example of the King of the Monsters acting as the Earth's immune system.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Unlike most real spiders, Kumonga does not have spinnerets, firing silk from its mouth instead. This ability may have been inspired by the [[wikipedia:Spitting_spider|spitting spiders]], a family of spiders which hunt by spitting an adhesive mixture of silk and venom at prey.<br />
*A "what-if" illustrated scenario in the 2004 book ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. Super Complete Works]]'' showed the JXSDF creating an army of mecha-kaiju with the help of DNA extracted from their organic counterparts, including Kumonga.<br />
*Kumonga is the only [[Xiliens|Xilien]]-controlled monster in ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' who they never deploy to a heavily populated area.<br />
*Kumonga is featured in concept art included in ''[[The Art of Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'', along with other established [[kaiju]] such as [[Anguirus]] and [[Gamera]].<ref name="GKOTM">[[File:G2019KG.jpg|150px]]</ref> In an interview with the ''Los Angeles Times'', director [[Michael Dougherty]] said, "We had thought about using some additional Toho creatures to give them some cameos but every Toho creature comes with a price tag. It was a choice to either shell out more money simply for the rights for these creatures to show up on-screen for a few seconds, or embrace the opportunity and the challenge to create new creatures."<ref name="LATimes">{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-godzilla-director-ghidorah-mothra-rodan-20190602-story.html/|title=How ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ updated four iconic kaiju characters|work=Los Angeles Times|author=Brown, Tracy|date=2 June 2019}}</ref><br />
*The 2016 book ''[[Godzilla Against Type-3 Kiryu (Mechagodzilla) Completion]]'' adds Kumonga to the Kiryu Saga continuity, with [[Type 66 Maser Cannon]]s successfully defeating him in 1967.<br />

'''Kumonga''' {{Nihongo|クモンガ|Kumonga}} is a giant spider [[kaiju]] who first appeared in the [[1967]] [[Toho]] ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' [[:Category:Godzilla Films|film]], ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''.<br />
<br />
In his first appearance in ''Son of Godzilla'', Kumonga was a giant spider native to [[Sollgel Island]] which slept in a valley on the island. Awakened by a stray boulder kicked into his valley by [[Minilla]], Kumonga began threatening a team of humans stranded on the island and eventually captured both Minilla and [[Kamacuras]]. Kumonga was killed by the combined might of Minilla and [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]], but a second Kumonga appeared in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'', where it was one of the monsters contained on [[Monsterland]] at the end of the 20th century. Kumonga assisted Godzilla and the monsters of Earth in the battle against [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]], trapping King Ghidorah under webbing alongside [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra]]. Kumonga reappeared in the final film of the [[Millennium era|Millennium series]], ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', where he was under the control of the [[Xiliens]] and unleashed in Arizona. Kumonga battled [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] in [[New Guinea]] under the invaders' commands, but was defeated.<br />

Kumonga's name comes from ''kumo'' {{Nihongo|クモ}}, which is the [[Japan]]ese word for "spider."

Kumonga's name in the English dubs of ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'' and ''Destroy All Monsters'' is '''Spiga''' or '''Spiega''', which comes from "spider."<br />
==Development==<br />
[[File:SOG_-_Kumonga_Puppet.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A concept maquette of Kumonga]]<br />
Kumonga was designed by [[Yasuyuki Inoue]] and modeled by [[Teizo Toshimitsu]] and [[Kanju Yagi and Yasuei Yagi|Yasuei Yagi]]. The original Kumonga prop was approximately 5 meters long.<ref name="40th">{{cite book|title=40th Anniversary Godzilla Complete Works|publisher=[[Kodansha]]|date=1994|pages=117, 143|isbn=406178417X}}</ref> Much like the [[Mothra]] larva's silk, Kumonga's webbing was created using rubber dissolved with thinner and sprayed through a mechanism in the prop's mouth.

However, Arikawa was impressed by the end result on film, and pleased that audiences were impressed by the puppetry of Kumonga.<ref name="40th"/><br />

<br />
The Kumonga prop was used again for the monster's role in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'' the following year, along with stock footage of the monster from ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''. The only difference with the Kumonga prop in this film was that its eyes were permanently red, while in the prior film they shifted between blue and red based on the monster's mood. Stock footage of Kumonga from ''Son of Godzilla'' was utilized for the monster's role in the following film, ''[[All Monsters Attack]]''.<br />

Kumonga was among the many kaiju not seen since the [[Showa era|Showa series]] to be brought back for Godzilla's 50th anniversary film, ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', in [[2004]]. [[Shinji Nishikawa]] redesigned Kumonga for this film along with most of the other returning monster. He kept the monster's design more or less intact, but removed one of the moving joints from each of his legs. The new Kumonga prop was modeled by [[Shinichi Wakasa]]'s company MONSTERS. The scene where [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] swings Kumonga through the air was filmed with the assistance of a crane truck on an open set.<ref name="TSEMCW"/><br />

==Design==<br />
Kumonga is a gigantic spider, with a mostly black body covered in gold stripes. Kumonga's body has some tufts of black hair on it, most prominently on its legs. Kumonga's head possesses six eyes, which are usually blue but in ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'' shift to red when the monster is agitated and are permanently red in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''. Kumonga possesses chelicerae and fangs around its mouth. In the [[Showa era|Showa series]], Kumonga's mouth is filled with urticating bristles and can project a venomous stinger, while these features are not present in the [[Millennium era|Millennium]] incarnation. Kumonga has eight legs, each with three articulated joints in the Showa series and only two in the Millennium series. In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', Kumonga has brighter and more numerous gold stripes on its body, and its body is more angled toward the ground. The black on its body is also somewhat lighter and the texture of its body is smoother. In [[Godzilla Singular Point|''Godzilla Singular Point'']], Kumonga is hybridized with [[Megalon]], with Megalon's drill claws being attached to its legs, a point on the small abdomen resembling Megalon's horn, and a face resembling Megalon's with the addition of four spider eyes in the forehead. The front legs of Kumonga are also longer then the rest, serving a mantis-claw like function reminiscent of Kamacuras.<br />
==Personality==<br />
In ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'', Kumonga is a vicious predator that attacks anything it sees. Kumonga is not averse to attacking humans, as it spends a good deal of time trying to capture Saeko and Goro and later attacking them and the team of scientists in a cave. Kumonga also appears to be highly territorial, and will attack other monsters who damage or enter their domain. The Kumonga in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'' is shown to live peacefully with the other monsters on [[Monsterland]], and assists them in the final battle against [[King Ghidorah]]. <br />
<br />
In the main [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]] comics published by [[IDW Publishing]], Kumonga appears to simply be a rampaging monster at first, but by the final arc of ''[[Godzilla: Ongoing]]'' becomes a loyal ally to the other Earth monsters and [[Kiryu]] against the invading space monsters. Kumonga even hitches a ride on Kiryu's back from [[Monster Island]] to [[New York]] to help [[Mothra]] battle [[Monster X]]. In ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'', Kumonga takes part in the final battle in Los Angeles against the [[Trilopod]]s alongside the other Earth monsters.<br />
==Origins==<br />
According to the research of Dr. Matsumiya, Kumonga is a gigantic spider native to [[Sollgel Island]], which while not active and hunting hibernates for years at a time under a valley. It is unknown if Kumonga was affected at all by the radiation storms on the island that mutated the native giant praying mantises into [[Kamacuras]], or if it was simply always 45 meters tall. Kumonga was actually one of the earliest kaiju to be discovered, as Dr. Matsumiya discovered it sometime prior to [[1955]], however the creature was confined to the island and only known to Matsumiya and his daughter [[Saeko Matsumiya|Saeko]] until [[1967]].<br />

==History==<br />
===[[Showa era]]===<br />
====''[[Son of Godzilla]]''====<br />
[[File:Kumonga1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'']]While protecting [[Saeko Matsumiya]] from a [[Kamacuras]], [[Minilla]] accidentally knocked a boulder into Kumonga's valley, awakening the giant spider from its sleep. Kumonga attacked Saeko and [[Goro Maki]] when they tried to reach Saeko's cave, but they escaped. Kumonga followed them to the cave and tried to break in, trapping them and the scientists there. Kumonga left and trapped the Kamacuras and Minilla in its web. Kumonga killed the Kamacuras with its venom, but [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] arrived before it could do the same to Minilla. Kumonga and Godzilla battled, with Kumonga damaging Godzilla's eye and trapping him in webbing. Minilla came to his father's aid, and eventually, Godzilla and his son were able to defeat Kumonga by blasting it at the same time with their atomic breath, setting the giant spider ablaze.<br />
====''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''====<br />
[[File:Godzilla.jp_-_9_-_SoshingekiKumo_Kumonga_1968.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'']]By the end of the 20th century, a second Kumonga was living on [[Monsterland]] alongside the other monsters of Earth. One day, the [[Kilaaks]] attacked the island and took control of the monsters, sending them to attack various cities across the world. After the humans severed the Kilaaks' control over the monsters, Kumonga and the other monsters prepared to assault the aliens' base under [[Mount Fuji]]. The Kilaaks responded by sending [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]] to attack the Earth monsters. Kumonga and [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra]] assisted in the battle by encasing King Ghidorah in webbing. Kumonga was then returned to the island along with the other monsters to live in peace.<br />
===''[[All Monsters Attack]]''===<br />
While visiting [[Monster Island]] within his dreams, [[Ichiro Miki]] and [[Minilla]] watched [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] battle Kumonga. Some of Kumonga's webbing was sprayed above them, forcing them to head to safer ground.<br />
===''[[Godzilla vs. Gigan]]''===<br />
By [[1972]], Kumonga was one of many monsters coexisting peacefully on [[Monster Island]]. However, the evil [[M Space Hunter Nebula Alien]]s intended to exterminate all of the monsters on the island before they could interfere with their conquest of Earth. Fortunately, [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] and [[Anguirus]] learned of the invaders' nefarious plan and defeated them along with their pawns [[Gigan]] and [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]], securing the safety of their fellow inhabitants of Monster Island. <br />

====''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]''====<br />
[[File:Godzilla.jp - Kumonga 2004.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'']]In 20XX, Kumonga appeared in Arizona and destroyed a trailer park in Monument Valley before being suddenly teleported away along with all of the other monsters rampaging across Earth by the [[Xiliens]], who claimed to want to save Earth. However, the Xiliens' true motives were revealed, and the [[Controller of Planet X]] unleashed all of the monsters to resume their destruction of the planet's major cities. In response, the [[Earth Defense Force]] freed [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] from [[Area G]] and had him defeat the Xiliens' monsters. The Controller unleashed Kumonga in [[New Guinea]] to battle Godzilla. Kumonga was able to use its jumping ability to avoid Godzilla's attacks while trapping him in webbing, but Godzilla grabbed one of Kumonga's web strands and swung it through the air before letting go, sending Kumonga soaring over the horizon.<br />

Kumonga appeared in the background along with [[Varan]] and [[Manda]] when [[Godzilla-kun]] led the charge against [[King Ghidorah]] in episode 12.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Web===<br />
[[File:All_Monsters_Attack_-_Kumonga_fires_web.png|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga spits webbing.]]<br />
Kumonga can spit thick strands of incredibly strong webbing from his mouth. Not only is this webbing effective at trapping human prey, but is equally capable of trapping other [[kaiju]] such as [[Minilla]] and [[Kamacuras]]. This webbing can only be destroyed by heat, allowing [[Goro Maki]] to free himself and [[Saeko Matsumiya]] and both [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]] and Minilla to block a stream of webbing with their atomic breath. Godzilla is physically strong enough to tear through the webbing, though it is still capable of temporarily ensnaring him and dragging him to the ground. In ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'', Kumonga used his webbing in conjunction with [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra's]] silk to restrain [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah's]] carcass.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', Kumonga is capable of not only spitting strands of webbing but can also fire jets of webbing that expand in midair into massive nets. He used them to try and trap [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] to some success, though Godzilla eventually triumphed by catching one of Kumonga's webbing strands.<br />

===Stinger===<br />
Kumonga possesses a venomous stinger which he can project from his mouth. The venom from this stinger was capable of killing Kamacuras instantly. Kumonga attempted to inject this venom into Minilla but was stopped by the arrival of Godzilla. Kumonga landed a hit on Godzilla's eye with his stinger, which only temporarily blinded Godzilla's eye and did not have any more lethal effects.<br />
===Legs===<br />
[[File:KumongaShowaG03Ver2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kumonga attacks a group of [[humans]] with his leg.]]<br />
Kumonga possesses eight extremely long multi-jointed legs which he uses both for movement and to attack prey. Kumonga's legs are tipped with clawed talons which allowed him to grab humans, though he was not successful in capturing any of them. Kumonga can extend his legs to raise himself further off the ground, shown when he extended himself to Godzilla's height and tackled him to the ground in ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''. Kumonga's legs allow for versatile movement, as he can scale valley walls, crawl across the ground, or in ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' leap across great distances.<br />
<br />
=== Flight ===<br />
In Godzilla Singular Point, there is varies categories of Kumonga. One of which has wings, giving them the ability to fly.<br />
<br />
===Durability===<br />
Kumonga is able to withstand multiple hits from Godzilla and Minilla's atomic breath, though a concentrated blast from both of them at the same time succeeded in killing him. Gunfire is ineffective against Kumonga, though it does cause him to react and at one point release one of the humans he has grabbed. In ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'', Kumonga survives having his web nest set ablaze by [[Gigan]], and later appears to have regenerated one of his legs which Gigan had earlier severed.<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
Kumonga is vulnerable to heat. His otherwise-indestructible webbing can be cut with simple flame, and sustained blasts from Godzilla and Minilla's atomic breath set him on fire and killed him. In ''Godzilla: Rulers of Earth'', Kumonga was defeated but not killed when Gigan set his web on fire. In ''Final Wars'', Kumonga's strength was inferior to that of Godzilla, who was able to toss him over the skyline after catching a strand of his webbing.<br />

While [[Godzilla]] was moving across rural Mongolia, he fell into a quicksand trap that Kumonga had set for him. Kumonga then proceeded to wrap Godzilla in webbing, saving his meal for another day. However, Godzilla burst free from the webbing using his nuclear pulse and started fighting Kumonga. Kumonga bit Godzilla on the lower neck and Godzilla countered by ripping off one of Kumonga's legs and beating him with it. As Kumonga tried to run away, Godzilla batted him away with his tail, sending Kumonga bouncing across the ground and knocking him unconscious.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: Ongoing]]''===<br />
Kumonga appeared in [[Mexico]] during the wedding of Urv, an old friend of [[Boxer]], killing Urv's groom and his other family and friends. Boxer's "Kaiju Kill Crew" eventually subdued Kumonga and took him to the [[Monster Island]] facility. Later, [[Kiryu]] freed the captured monsters from the island so that they could fight off the space monsters. Kumonga hitched a ride on Kiryu's back and accompanied him to [[New York City]] to fight [[Monster X]]. Monster X defeated both monsters, but [[Godzilla]] arrived before he could destroy them.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: The Half-Century War]]''===<br />
Kumonga was one of the many monsters seen battling in Ghana in 1975.<br />

[[File:RoE_Kumonga.jpg|thumb|200px|Kumonga in ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'']]Kumonga had created a spiderweb system at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in [[Arizona]]. When [[Gigan]], blinded from his earlier battle with [[Anguirus]] and [[Rodan]], wandered into Kumonga's web, Kumonga attacked him. The fight ended with one of Kumonga's legs severed and its web system being set ablaze, after which Gigan escaped. After his fight with Gigan, Kumonga was transported to the [[Monster Island]]s, where it lived among the other captured [[kaiju]]. When the [[Trilopod]]s invaded, Kumonga was one of the first to fall to them, having his DNA copied by the alien arthropods. Kumonga was contained within the Trilopod hive while the Trilopod that copied him attacked [[Godzilla]]. Kumonga was later freed from the hive by a rampaging [[King Caesar]]. He took part in the fight against the Trilopods and [[Magita]] alongside the other Earth monsters. After Godzilla beat the massive alien beast, Kumonga followed him into the ocean. <br />
<br />
Kumonga's image was also seen on the massive cave painting on [[Infant Island]] as part of the land section.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors]]''===<br />
In the [[Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors Issue 1|first issue]], Cedric cited Godzilla's battle with Kumonga as an example of the King of the Monsters acting as the Earth's immune system.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Unlike most real spiders, Kumonga does not have spinnerets, firing silk from its mouth instead. This ability may have been inspired by the [[wikipedia:Spitting_spider|spitting spiders]], a family of spiders which hunt by spitting an adhesive mixture of silk and venom at prey.<br />
*A "what-if" illustrated scenario in the 2004 book ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. Super Complete Works]]'' showed the JXSDF creating an army of mecha-kaiju with the help of DNA extracted from their organic counterparts, including Kumonga.<br />
*Kumonga is the only [[Xiliens|Xilien]]-controlled monster in ''Godzilla: Final Wars'' who they never deploy to a heavily populated area.<br />
*Kumonga is featured in concept art included in ''[[The Art of Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'', along with other established [[kaiju]] such as [[Anguirus]] and [[Gamera]].<ref name="GKOTM">[[File:G2019KG.jpg|150px]]</ref> In an interview with the ''Los Angeles Times'', director [[Michael Dougherty]] said, "We had thought about using some additional Toho creatures to give them some cameos but every Toho creature comes with a price tag. It was a choice to either shell out more money simply for the rights for these creatures to show up on-screen for a few seconds, or embrace the opportunity and the challenge to create new creatures."<ref name="LATimes">{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-godzilla-director-ghidorah-mothra-rodan-20190602-story.html/|title=How ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ updated four iconic kaiju characters|work=Los Angeles Times|author=Brown, Tracy|date=2 June 2019}}</ref><br />
*The 2016 book ''[[Godzilla Against Type-3 Kiryu (Mechagodzilla) Completion]]'' adds Kumonga to the Kiryu Saga continuity, with [[Type 66 Maser Cannon]]s successfully defeating him in 1967.<br />

{{Quote|If the world lives to see another century, please remember what '''Mothra''' did for you and the planet you live on.|[[Shobijin|Cosmos]] (''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'')}}<br />
'''Mothra''' {{Nihongo|モスラ|Mosura}} is a giant divine moth [[kaiju]] who first appeared in the [[1961]] serialized novel ''[[The Luminous Fairies and Mothra]]'', which was adapted the same year by [[Toho]] into the [[:Category:Films|film]] ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]''. Mothra made her first appearance alongside [[Godzilla]] in the [[1964]] [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]] film, ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]''. Her latest appearence was in the [[2019]] [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]] film ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]''.<br />
<br />
Mothra's major distinction among Toho's library of kaiju, aside from being the first female monster in the Godzilla series, is her benevolent nature and relationship to mankind. While other monsters like Godzilla frequently menace humanity with their very existence, Mothra fights to protect humanity from monsters that threaten it. Mothra is accompanied by two miniature twin priestesses named the [[Shobijin]], who speak to humanity on her behalf. However, Mothra has still wrought destruction herself, though this is only to rescue her Shobijin when they are kidnapped or when she is under the control of the [[Kilaaks]].<br />
----<br />
In Mothra's onscreen debut, she laid waste to [[Tokyo]] and [[New Kirk City]] in her quest to recover the Shobijin and return them to [[Infant Island]]. Mothra returned in ''Mothra vs. Godzilla'', where she traveled to Japan to battle Godzilla when he threatened her unhatched egg that had washed ashore there. Mothra was killed in the battle, but two twin larvae hatched from her egg and carried on her battle against Godzilla, eventually triumphing over him. One of the larvae died sometime afterward, but the surviving one took her mother's place as the goddess of Infant Island. Mothra was soon called upon to defend Earth against the evil [[King Ghidorah/Showa|King Ghidorah]], and managed to recruit both Godzilla and [[Rodan/Showa|Rodan]] to her cause. Mothra eventually matured into an adult and rescued her people from [[Letchi Island]] after they were kidnapped and enslaved by the terrorist group known as the [[Red Bamboo]]. By the end of the 20th century, a larval Mothra was contained on [[Monsterland]], only to be released when the Kilaaks took over the island and assumed control of the monsters. Mothra was soon freed from Kilaak control and fought alongside the other Earth monsters to kill King Ghidorah once and for all and defeat the alien menace.<br />
<br />
Mothra was reintroduced in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]] film ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'', where she fought alongside a dark counterpart named [[Battra]] to defeat Godzilla. After the Godzilla Heisei series ended, a standalone trilogy of films focusing on Mothra was released from 1996 to 1998. This trilogy introduced [[Mothra Leo]], Mothra's son, who would go on to star in the trilogy's second and third entries following his mother's death. Mothra made an appearance in the third entry in the [[Millennium era|Millennium series]] of Godzilla films, ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'', as one of the three [[Guardian Monsters]], who defended Japan against Godzilla. Mothra returned two films later in ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]'', where she and her twin larvae supported [[Kiryu]] in his battle against Godzilla. In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', Mothra aided Godzilla in his battle against [[Monster X]] and [[Gigan]], and sacrificed her own life to destroy Gigan. Mothra made a cameo through a cave painting in the film ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]'', the second entry in [[Legendary Pictures]] and [[Warner Bros.]]' [[MonsterVerse]], and went on to appear in ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' in 2019, the sequel to Legendary's ''[[Godzilla (2014 film)|Godzilla]]'' from 2014. Mothra is also a major player in the universe of the ''GODZILLA'' anime trilogy, though she does not appear directly. Rather, in the backstory of this universe, Mothra defended a surviving segment of the human population from [[Godzilla Earth|Godzilla]] in 2048, and helped to relocate them to the [[Mount Fuji]] area, where they evolved over time into the [[Houtua]] and continued to worship the egg Mothra left behind.<br />

{{TOC}}<br />
==Name==<br />
The name "Mothra" is the suffixation of "-ra" (a common last syllable in kaiju names) to "moth." Since the Japanese language does not have dental fricatives, it is approximated "Mosura" in Japanese. Originally, Mothra's name was approximated in English as "Mosla," but it was later corrected to "Mothra" by the time of the release of her [[Mothra (film)|debut film]]<ref name="Toho Special Effects Movie Complete Works"/>. In the American dubbing and various posters for ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'', Mothra is also referred to as "The Thing." She is among Toho's most popular characters, primarily among female fans, and she has appeared in every Godzilla film era. Toho even honored Mothra with the title "Queen of Monsters" for the soundtrack and home video releases of ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', illustrating her proximity in status to Godzilla himself. This subtitle is also used for her in ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]''.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'', the guardian monster Mothra's name is spelled in kanji but pronounced the same: 最珠羅 (''Mosura''). While Mothra is named in ''[[Godzilla: Project Mechagodzilla|GODZILLA: Project Mechagodzilla]]'', her name is never spoken in any of the films of the ''GODZILLA'' anime trilogy. Rather, she is alluded to only as the '''[[Houtua]]'s God''' {{Nihongo|フツアの神|Futsua no Kami}}, while her unhatched offspring is simply referred to as the '''Egg''' {{Nihongo|卵|Tamago}}. When [[Haruo Sakaki]] sees a vision of the imago Mothra, he mistakenly calls her a "'''butterfly'''" {{Nihongo|蝶|Chō}}.<br />
==Design==<br />
Since her first film, Mothra has been depicted in various stages of the lepidopteran life cycle: Mothra's mammoth egg is decoratively colored in blue and yellow waves. The egg hatches into her larva, a massive brown, segmented caterpillar (resembling a silkworm) with glowing blue, sometimes red, eyes. In rare circumstances, twins may emerge from the egg. The caterpillar eventually spins a silken cocoon around itself (the pupa stage), and from this cocoon the imago (adult) Mothra emerges, a gigantic moth-like creature with brightly-colored wings. Mothra's life cycle—particularly the tendency of an imago's death to coincide with its larvae hatching—echoes that of the Phoenix, resembling resurrection and suggesting divinity.<br />
<br />
[[File:The_Luminous_Fairies_and_Mothra_First_Ever_Depiction.png|thumb|left|200px|Mothra's original design]]In her debut novel ''[[The Luminous Fairies and Mothra]]'', Mothra had a design more reminiscent of a swallow, her head also being more like a butterfly's. Her larval form was segmented, similarly to the way she would be portrayed in her first film appearance, but had longer legs and possessed a more caterpillar-like face.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'', Mothra is portrayed with purple eyes, although her eyes are normally blue.<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite having wrought destruction worthy of any Toho [[kaiju]], Mothra is almost always portrayed as a kind and benevolent creature, causing destruction only when acting as protector to her worshipers on Infant Island or to her egg, or as collateral damage while protecting Earth from a greater threat. Mothra is usually accompanied by two tiny priestesses or fairies (often called [[Shobijin]]—Japanese for "small beauties") who also speak for her.<br />
==Origins==<br />
Mothra's origins have somewhat varied from film to film, but she is always portrayed as a benevolent and ancient creature that possesses some level of divinity.<br />
<br />
In the [[Showa era]], ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'', ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]'' and ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', Mothra is the guardian goddess of the remote [[Infant Island]] in the south [[Pacific Ocean]]. There, she is perpetually reborn through an egg and is worshiped by the island's natives. She is spoken for by two miniature telepathic fairies, called either the [[Shobijin]], Cosmos, or [[Elias]].<br />
<br />
Mothra's origin is gone into in greater depth in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''. This film explains that Mothra was the guardian of the ancient world, protecting all life on [[Earth]] from threats. When an ancient civilization created a climate-controlling device, the Earth became offended and created a dark Mothra, called [[Battra]], to destroy it. After destroying the device, Battra proceeded to eradicate the entire civilization and sought to exterminate all of mankind, believing humans to be a blight on the planet. Mothra challenged Battra and defeated him, sealing him away in the North Sea. Following this battle, Mothra and the Cosmos, the only remnants of the ancient civilization, took up residence on the remote Infant Island, where they lived in peace for the next twelve thousand years.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', it is established that Mothra is the last living member of an ancient race of giant guardian moths that defended the Earth throughout its history. In her old age, Mothra lived in solitude with the Elias on Infant Island, and with the last of her strength summoned forth [[Mothra Leo|an egg]] to continue her legacy after her death.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'', Mothra's origin receives its first major alteration. In this film, Mothra is one of the three [[Guardian Monsters]] and the Goddess of the Sea. In ancient times, Mothra and her fellow guardians [[Baragon]] and [[King Ghidorah]] were slain by Japanese warriors. Mothra was laid to rest under Lake Ikeda while the warriors who slayed her prayed for her soul, that she would return one day to save Japan. Thousands of years later, the prophet Hirotoshi Isayama awakened Mothra by transferring the souls of Japan's honorable dead into her, so that she and the other Guardian Monsters could together stop [[Godzilla/GMK|Godzilla]].<br />
<br />
In the continuity of the ''GODZILLA'' anime trilogy, Mothra is a mystical creature which lives in isolation in the Amazon rainforest alongside a tribe of humans known as Mothra's People, who worship her as their deity. Mothra's origins and past are unknown, but she has been living in symbiosis with her people for some time, protecting them from harm and providing for their needs. Mothra also possesses a counterpart named Battra, and together the two moth monsters were believed capable of defeating [[Godzilla Earth|Godzilla]].<br />
<br />
In the [[MonsterVerse]], Mothra is again revered as a benevolent goddess, but her origin lies not on Infant Island but rather in [[China]]'s Yunnan Rainforest. Ancient accounts and paintings of Mothra show that she was worshiped by humans in the ancient past, and she appears in folklore from around the world. Notably, some ancient pictures depict her fighting alongside [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla]] and human warriors against [[King Ghidorah/Legendary|King Ghidorah]], either as an account of an ancient battle or a prophecy for a future one. In [[2009]], a [[Monarch]] team headed by Dr. Emma Russel discovered Mothra's cocoon in an ancient temple in the Yunnan Rainforest, dubbed the "Temple of the Moth."<br />

[[File:Mothra_Larva.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra Larva in ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'']][[Mothra/First Generation|Mothra]] was first discovered on [[Infant Island]], where natives to the island worshiped her as a goddess. Invaders from [[Rolisica]] took over the island and stole the [[Shobijin]]. The natives went to a temple, where a giant egg was held. The egg hatched into a larva, called Mothra, which swam across the [[Pacific Ocean]] and destroyed the Orion Maru as she journeyed north towards [[Japan]] to save the Shobijin from the humans. She destroyed [[Tokyo]] while trying to find them, then tore down [[Tokyo Tower]] and formed her cocoon. She emerged from the cocoon in her imago form, having been inadvertently helped by the army's [[Atomic Heat Ray Gun]]s. She went to [[Rolisica|New Kirk City]], and was reunited with the Shobijin at an airport runway after destroying a large portion of the city. Mothra then flew back to Infant Island with the Shobijin to live in peace.<br />

[[File:Godzilla.jp - 4 - ShodaiMosuImago Mothra 1964.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra Imago in ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'']][[File:Mothra Larvae -ShodaiMosuLarva- Twins.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra Larvae in ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'']] Mothra's egg washed up on the shores of [[Japan]] when a typhoon carried it away from the shores of [[Infant Island]]. Kumayama, the owner of the company Happy Enterprises, bought the egg from the citizens of the area where the egg was found and planned to turn it into the main attraction of his upcoming amusement park The [[Shobijin]] came to Japan to request the egg's return, only for Kumayama and his financier Jiro Torahata to try and capture them as well. The Shobijin escaped and met with a group of sympathetic humans, warning that when the egg hatched the larva would cause much destruction and death while searching for food and attempting to return to Infant Island on its own. When the Shobijin's allies met with Kumayama and Torahata, they refused to return the egg and wanted to buy the Shobijin instead. The Shobijin then returned to Infant Island with Mothra. When [[Godzilla]] emerged in Japan and began heading for the incubator holding Mothra's egg, the three humans who helped the Shobijin traveled to Infant Island, which had been devastated by nuclear bomb tests. They asked the Shobijin for Mothra's help in defeating Godzilla, but they refused. However, Mothra herself, who was living out the last of her days on a sacred rock, agreed to help and flew to Japan, knowing she would never return.<br />
<br />
Mothra arrived in Japan just as Godzilla reached Mothra's egg and attacked him. Mothra used the gusts of wind from her wings to knock Godzilla of his feet and tried to slash him with her claws, but she was too feeble to injure him. Mothra released poison powder from her wings against Godzilla, but Godzilla simply blasted her with his atomic breath, causing her to fall on top of her egg and die. While Godzilla continued his rampage across Japan, the Shobijin and the Infant Islanders began to pray for Mothra's egg to hatch. Finally, the egg hatched into two twin [[Mothra/Second Generation|larvae]]. The larvae followed Godzilla to Iwa Island and attacked him there. While the larvae were much smaller and weaker than Godzilla, they used their size to hide behind rocks and sneak up on Godzilla, spraying him with silk. Eventually, Godzilla was trapped in a silken cocoon and fell over a cliff into the ocean below. Victorious, Mothra's larvae and the Shobijin returned to Infant Island.<br />

[[File:GT3HM_-_Mothra.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra in ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]'']]In the time after Mothra's battle with [[Godzilla]], one of the twin larvae passed away, leaving its sister as the sole goddess of [[Infant Island]]. When the evil three-headed space monster [[King Ghidorah]] arrived on the [[Earth]], the [[Japan]]ese government asked the [[Shobijin]] to call Mothra to fight him. The Shobijin remarked that the young Mothra had no chance of defeating King Ghidorah on her own, but proposed that if she could recruit the help of Godzilla and [[Rodan]] they may have a chance. The Shobijin called Mothra to Japan, where she sought out Godzilla and Rodan, who were battling at [[Mount Fuji]]. Mothra used her silk to get the monsters to stop fighting and informed them of the threat posed by King Ghidorah. Godzilla and Rodan stubbornly replied that they had no reason to defend humanity from King Ghidorah, and refused to work together until the other apologized. Mothra told them that the Earth was not just for humanity, but for all creatures and that it was their duty to protect it. Unfortunately, Mothra's words failed to sway either monster, and the young larva was forced to take on King Ghidorah by herself. King Ghidorah easily blasted Mothra aside with his gravity beams, attracting the anger of Godzilla and Rodan, who finally joined the battle. Together, the three Earth monsters overpowered King Ghidorah, knocking him to the ground and trapping him in silk. King Ghidorah finally flew off into space, leaving Mothra and her new allies victorious. Mothra reunited with the Shobijin and swam back to Infant Island, while Godzilla and Rodan watched.<br />

[[File:ShodaiMosuImago needs to take a bath.jpg|thumb|200px|Mothra in ''[[Ebirah, Horror of the Deep]]'']]Mothra, now grown into her imago form, remained asleep on [[Infant Island]] while her people were abducted and enslaved by the terrorist organization known as the [[Red Bamboo]], who operated on nearby [[Letchi Island]]. The [[Shobijin]] and the remaining natives continued to pray to Mothra until she finally awakened and heard their plea. The Shobijin told [[Ryota]] and [[Yata]], who had both ended up on Infant Island, to travel to Letchi Island and free the slaves, then create a giant net. The two of them traveled to the island by boat, while Mothra and the Shobijin prepared to fly there as well. When Mothra arrived, the island had been rigged to explode and [[Godzilla]] was in combat with the monster [[Ebirah]], who guarded the island's waters. When Godzilla defeated Ebirah and saw Mothra fly overhead, he approached her and tried to initiate combat. Aware that the whole island was about to detonate in a huge nuclear-force explosion rigged by the Red Bamboo, Mothra simply knocked Godzilla over. While Godzilla was down, Mothra grabbed the net carrying the rescued slaves, then flew away from the island. Godzilla soon jumped into the water, just as the entire island was consumed in a nuclear explosion.<br />

[[File:Godzilla.jp_-_9_-_SoshingekiMosuImago_Mothra_Larva_1968.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'']]By the end of the 20th century, a larval [[Mothra/Third Generation|Mothra]] was living on [[Monsterland]] along with most of [[Earth]]'s other [[kaiju]]. When the [[Kilaaks]] invaded the island, they took control of the monsters and sent them to attack major cities around the globe. Mothra first attacked [[Beijing]], and later resurfaced in [[Tokyo]] along with [[Godzilla]], [[Manda]] and [[Rodan]]. The four monsters completely leveled the city before departing. Thankfully, mankind destroyed the Kilaaks' mind-control device and the Earth monsters assaulted the Kilaaks' lair at [[Mount Fuji]]. The Kilaaks summoned [[King Ghidorah]] to fight off the Earth monsters. Mothra aided in the fight from afar, covering King Ghidorah in webbing alongside [[Kumonga]]. When King Ghidorah and the Kilaaks were defeated, Mothra and the other monsters were returned to Monsterland to live out their days in peace.<br />

In [[1972]], a single Mothra larva was living on [[Monster Island]] with a large number of other monsters. It is unknown whether this larva was the offspring of the second generation Mothra, or itself the third generation Mothra.<br />

However, this civilization created a climate-controlling device, greatly angering the [[Earth]] itself and leading it to create [[Battra]], a dark version of Mothra. Battra destroyed the device, but soon went beyond his purpose and attempted to destroy all of mankind, seeing them as a blight on the Earth. Mothra tried to stop them, and the two moths engaged in a titanic battle that destroyed the ancient civilization. Mothra defeated Battra and sealed him away in the North Sea, while Mothra and the [[Shobijin|Cosmos]] relocated to [[Infant Island]] to live in solitude. In [[1993]], an expedition sent to the island by the [[Japan]]ese government encountered the Cosmos along with Mothra's egg. The Cosmos explained the story of Mothra and Battra to the explorers, and warned that the meteor that recently struck the Earth could awaken Battra. The Cosmos agreed to allow Mothra's egg to be transported to Japan, but en route the barge carrying it was attacked by [[Godzilla]]. The egg hatched into a larval Mothra, who attempted to defend herself from Godzilla. Eventually, Battra arrived in his larval form and knocked Mothra aside, attacking Godzilla instead. Godzilla and Battra were eventually swallowed up by a volcanic fault and presumed dead, while Mothra returned to Infant Island and the Cosmos were secretly captured by one of the explorers, [[Kenji Ando]].<br />
<br />
Ando brought the Cosmos to his employer, the Marutomo Company, who planned to exploit the tiny fairies as a publicity stunt. The Cosmos prayed to Mothra, who left the island to recover the Cosmos. The [[JSDF]] tried to fight Mothra in the ocean as she approached Japan, but failed to halt the larva. Mothra came ashore in [[Tokyo]], unintentionally leaving a trail of destruction as she searched for the Cosmos. [[Masako Tezuka]], her daughter Midori and [[Miki Saegusa]] recovered the Cosmos and brought them to Mothra, causing her rampage to cease. Unfortunately, the JSDF opened fire on Mothra with artillery, wounding her. Mothra crawled to the [[National Diet Building]] and encased herself in a cocoon. Meanwhile, Godzilla surfaced from the crater of [[Mount Fuji]] while Battra reappeared in the ocean and transformed into his imago form. As both Godzilla and Battra approached the Tokyo area, Mothra emerged from her cocoon in her imago form and flew off to stop Battra. Mothra and Battra clashed in the skies above Yokohama, with Battra overpowering Mothra and causing her to crash to the ground in the Minato Mirai 21 district. Before Battra could kill his light counterpart, Godzilla appeared and attacked them both. Godzilla proved to be more than a match for either moth, subduing Battra and nearly killing Mothra before Battra came to her aid, realizing that Godzilla was a far greater threat. Mothra saved Battra and temporarily knocked Godzilla down. Mothra communicated with Battra, and they decided to put aside their differences to defeat Godzilla. Mothra and Battra joined forces, firing their various beam attacks in tandem against Godzilla. Godzilla was subdued, and Mothra and Battra grabbed him, carrying him out over the ocean. Godzilla bit into Battra's throat and fired his atomic breath, killing him and forcing Mothra to drop both monsters into the sea below. Mothra placed a sacred seal over the water and reunited with the Cosmos at [[Haneda Airport]]. The Cosmos revealed that Battra told Mothra that a larger meteor was going to strike and destroy the Earth in 1999, and it was his duty to stop it. In the event of Battra's death, Mothra agreed to destroy the meteor instead. Mothra and the Cosmos bid farewell to the humans and flew into outer space, preparing to intercept the meteor before it could reach Earth.<br />

While flying through space to intercept the meteor that was destined to hit [[Earth]] in 1999, Mothra became aware of an evil extraterrestrial clone of [[Godzilla]] called [[SpaceGodzilla]] that was heading to Earth with the intention of killing his Earthling counterpart and conquering the planet. Mothra sent a [[Fairy Mothra]] to Earth, where it revealed itself to [[Miki Saegusa]] and transformed into a projection of the [[Shobijin|Cosmos]], who warned Miki of the impending to disaster and stressed the importance of Godzilla in defending the planet. When SpaceGodzilla was ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of Godzilla and [[G-Force]], the projection of the Cosmos reappeared to Miki and congratulated her on saving the planet.<br />
<br />
It was also speculated by [[United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center|U.N.G.C.C.]] scientists that SpaceGodzilla's creation may have been due to Mothra unwittingly carrying some of Godzilla's flesh into outer space following their battle, allowing it to be pulled into a black hole and released through a white hole, where it was exposed to supernovas and mutated into a crystalline lifeform.<br />
====''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]''====<br />
[[File:Mothra96.png|thumb|200px|right|Mothra in ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'']]Millions of years ago, a [[:Category:Ghidorah|space monster]] called [[Desghidorah]] arrived to destroy the Earth. This three-headed demonic dragon was forced to deal with resistance in the form of a species of highly advanced, enormous moths, which were known as [[:Category:Mothra|Mothras]]. These moths were the protectors of the [[Elias]], a race of tiny, human-like beings, who inhabited the planet. After the ensuing battle, Desghidorah was defeated and sealed within the Earth, although a great deal of life on the planet Earth was lost. Three Elias: Moll, Lora, and Belvera, were all who were left of their once prosperous civilization. Though Moll and Lora remained benevolent defenders of the Earth, Belvera became twisted and vengeful following her race's demise. These tiny fairies, along with one final Mothra, remained in solitude on [[Infant Island]] for countless millennia.<br />
<br />
In order to preserve her legacy, Mothra summoned an enormous egg, however, she became physically exhausted from the ordeal. Shortly afterwards, a logging company in [[Hokkaido]] uncovered the tomb where the Mothras had sealed Desghidorah long ago. When the seal that had bound the creature was removed from the area, Moll and Lora fought Belvera for control of the artifact. Belvera prevailed and managed to release Desghidorah from its rocky tomb, planning to use it to destroy mankind. Mothra was summoned to stop Desghidorah, which was absorbing the life out of the forests. Mothra fought her hardest to stop Desghidorah, but was simply too old and frail to carry on the fight. Moll and Lora reluctantly prayed to the egg, causing it to prematurely hatch into a larva named [[Mothra Leo]]. Mothra Leo arrived to assist his mother, but Desghidorah grabbed Leo with his teeth and bit into him. Mothra rescued her son and destroyed a dam, causing Desghidorah to be buried in a flood of water. With her enemy distracted, Mothra carried Leo out over the sea, but her strength failed and she fell into the water. Mothra struggled to stay afloat, as Leo desperately tried to hold her up above the surface, but to no avail. Mothra sank underwater and drowned, leaving Leo to carry on her legacy and stop Desghidorah. Leo then swam to a remote island to transform into his imago stage and continue the battle.<br />

Both imago and larval Mothra appear in the [[1994]] and [[1996]] educational ''[[Get Going! Godzilland]]'' OVAs. In these OVAs, Mothra is one of the more mature and caring residents of Godzilland, and raises her two twin larvae there. Mothra is viewed as a motherly figure by the other [[kaiju]], and is addressed by them as "Mosura-San," being the only adult. In the hiragana episode, Mothra finishes watering her garden, and decides to invite the other residents of Monster Island to a picnic. Godzilla and Anguirus both arrive late, and reveal that they couldn't read Mothra's invitation, so Mothra decides to teach them about the hiragana alphabet. Mothra presents the [[kaiju]] with various objects and animals, and teaches them to sound out their names with hiragana characters.<br />
<br />
In the addition episode, Mothra helps Godzilla, [[Gojirin]], and [[Baragon]] rescue Anguirus from [[Mechagodzilla/Showa|Mechagodzilla]], who has kidnapped him to force him to be his friend. Gojirin reveals that she is hungry and the kaiju decide to eat before traveling to the volcano where Mechagodzilla brought Anguirus. Mothra and Rodan help the kaiju add the number of items of food they have, allowing them to learn addition. On the way to the volcano, the monsters are stopped by a large group of ants, who angrily stab Godzilla with spears when he attempts to scare them away. Mothra talks to the ants, and learns that the kaiju were walking over a field of flowers, and the ants were trying to stop them. The kaiju then proceed to the volcano, where Mechagodzilla forces them to take part in a game show where they solve addition problems in order to rescue Anguirus. After the kaiju complete the game, Mechagodzilla begins to cry, and Mothra comforts him. Mothra convinces the other kaiju to let Mechagodzilla be their friend, and they all then take part in a song about addition.<br />

Mothra appeared in three of the Millennium series films, ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'', ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]'' and ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', making her the only monster besides [[Godzilla]] himself to appear in more than two films in the Millennium series.<br />

Ages ago, noble Japanese warriors slayed Mothra and laid her to rest under [[Lake Ikeda]]. The warriors prayed for Mothra's soul, in the hope that she and the other [[Guardian Monsters|guardian monsters]], [[Baragon]] and [[King Ghidorah]], would rise again one day to defend Japan.<br />
In 2002, a group of teenagers disturbed Mothra's shrine after robbing a convenience store near Lake Ikeda. Mothra awakened and pulled the teenagers underwater, wrapping their bodies in a cocoon of silk. Mothra then encased herself in a cocoon which sat on the lake's surface. When the prophet Hirotoshi Isayama called upon the guardian monsters to stop [[Godzilla]], Mothra emerged from her cocoon and flew to [[Yokohama]] to battle him. Mothra perched atop the [[Yokohama Landmark Tower]] and flew at Godzilla, firing poisonous stingers at him and scratching his face with her claws. Godzilla fired his atomic breath at Mothra, but she avoided the blast, which struck and destroyed the Landmark Tower instead. [[King Ghidorah#Ghidorah|Ghidorah]] arrived shortly afterward and joined forces with Mothra against Godzilla. Godzilla easily overpowered both monsters, knocking Ghidorah unconscious and sending Mothra flying into a railroad track after she deflected his atomic breath from striking Ghidorah. Godzilla turned his attention to the [[JSDF]]'s battleships in [[Tokyo Bay]], but Mothra flew behind him to take him by surprise. However, Godzilla turned his head at the last moment and fired his atomic breath at Mothra, vaporizing her. Mothra's life force flowed into Ghidorah's body, reviving him as the [[King Ghidorah#Thousand-Year-Old Dragon, King Ghidorah|Thousand-Year-Old Dragon, King Ghidorah]] and giving him an advantage in the fight.<br />
<br />
When King Ghidorah was ultimately killed by Godzilla, the spirit of all three guardian monsters flew into Godzilla, causing him to sink underwater and allowing the ''[[Satsuma]]'' to fire a [[D-03 Missile]] from within Godzilla's body, opening a gaping wound on his neck that ultimately caused Godzilla to destroy himself when he fired his atomic breath.<br />

====''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]''====<br />
When a [[Godzilla/Kiryu Saga|second Godzilla]] attacked [[Japan]] in [[1999]], the Prime Minister of Japan and the Minister of Science and Technology discussed how ever since the [[Godzilla/1954|first Godzilla]] attacked [[Tokyo]] in [[1954]], giant monsters have often raided the country. One such monster was Mothra, who attacked Tokyo in [[1961]].<br />
====''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]''====<br />

Mothra was unaffected by the jets' missiles and continued flying to Japan. Mothra landed near the home of [[Shinichi Chujo]], a man who had helped reunite Mothra with her [[Shobijin]] in [[1961]]. The Shobijin appeared to Chujo and asked him to tell the government to scrap the [[Kiryu]] project, which utilized the remains of the first [[Godzilla]] as a weapon. The Shobijin claimed this was a crime against nature and the sanctity of life, and that Mothra would be forced to declare war against humanity if the first Godzilla's remains were not returned to the sea. They also promised that Mothra would take it upon herself to defend Japan from Godzilla. When Chujo told his story to Prime Minister [[Hayato Igarashi]], he regretfully told Chujo that the government could not afford to scrap the project, as too much had already been sacrificed for it. When Godzilla appeared in [[Tokyo]], Chujo's grandson [[Shun Chujo|Shun]] used school desks to recreate Mothra's symbol and summon her to Tokyo. Mothra engaged in battle with Godzilla, but due to her old age was easily overwhelmed. Igarashi ordered Kiryu to be launched to aid Mothra, and the machine entered the battle as well. Godzilla defeated Kiryu, while Mothra's egg on [[Infant Island]] hatched into two twin larvae. The larvae arrived in Tokyo to communicate with their mother, but Godzilla noticed them. Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the larvae, only for Mothra to fly in front of the beam, sacrificing herself for her children. Enraged with grief, the larvae attacked Godzilla, distracting him while Kiryu was repaired. Kiryu soon re-entered the battle, defeating Godzilla by using his drill hand to open a previously-inflicted wound on Godzilla's chest. Mothra's larvae encased Godzilla in silk, leaving him trapped and helpless. Rather than kill Godzilla, Kiryu overrode his programming and carried Godzilla out to the sea, sinking them both in the Japan Trench. Mothra's larvae swam back to Infant Island with the Shobijin, content that the souls of the dead could now rest in peace.<br />

====''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]''====<br />
[[File:Godzilla_Final_Wars_-_5-3_Mothra.png|thumb|right|200px|Mothra in ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'']]Thousands of years ago, Mothra defended the [[Earth]] from an alien monster known as [[Gigan]], defeating him and entombing him off the coast of [[Hokkaido]]. In the year 20XX, the [[Earth Defense Force]] recovered Gigan's mummified remains, drawing the attention of Mothra and her [[Shobijin]]. The Shobijin appeared to several members of the EDF and warned them that Gigan was evil and could awaken, but promised that Mothra would appear to defend the Earth. When the alien force known as the [[Xiliens]] took control of Gigan and an army of monsters and used them to conquer the planet, Mothra flew to [[Tokyo]] to aid [[Godzilla]] against Gigan and [[Monster X]]. Mothra saved Godzilla from being double-teamed by the enemy monsters, then confronted Gigan once again. Gigan fired two razor discs at Mothra, but she used her reflective scales to avoid them. Gigan responded by blasting Mothra with his laser beam, causing her to erupt in flames. Believing himself victorious, Gigan turned around only for his head to be sliced off by his reflected razor discs. Mothra, still on fire, flew into the headless Gigan and exploded, seemingly killing them both.<br />
<br />
The film's end credits show an unharmed Mothra flying back to [[Infant Island]], although it is possible this is simply unused footage and not meant to suggest Mothra survived her battle with Gigan, similar to how footage of [[Hedorah]] destroying Tokyo is also shown during the end credits.<br />

20,000 years after the fall of [[humans|mankind]] at the hands of the [[kaiju]], Mothra's surviving egg was kept in the underground temple of the [[Houtua]] civilization, which lived in the shadow of [[Godzilla Earth]] in a caldera under [[Mount Fuji]]. The twin priestesses [[Maina]] and [[Miana]] tended to the egg, [[telepathy|telepathically]] transmitting its messages to their people. When the Houtua captured several [[United Earth]] troops which had returned to reclaim the [[Earth]], they brought them into the temple to interrogate them. Maina and Miana placed their hands on Mothra's egg and telepathically asked the United Earth forces what their purpose was and why they had set fire to the Houtua's land. Captain [[Haruo Sakaki]] explained that they had come to destroy Godzilla. The twins responded that Godzilla was the enemy of Mothra, their God, and had killed her, leaving only the egg behind. The Houtua determined that the United Earth forces were not hostile, and the elder [[Munak]] allowed them to leave. Later, Maina and Miana tried to appeal to the rest of their people to help the United Earth troops before they were destroyed by Godzilla, but Munak stated that Mothra's egg proclaimed nothing. The twins then took matters into their own hands and traveled to [[Mechagodzilla/Anime|Mechagodzilla City]] to help Haruo and his allies.<br />

When their message reached Haruo, it entered his telepathic vision and manifested into a vision of Mothra which flew over the [[Boeing B-29 Superfortress]] that Haruo and Metphies were inside, destroying it and causing Haruo to begin falling through the sky. As he fell, he saw Mothra flying overhead and remarked that she looked like a "butterfly." Maina soon appeared to Haruo in the vision, giving him the strength necessary to finally free himself from Metphies' telepathic manipulation. With the help of Mothra, Maina, and Martin, Haruo was able to overcome Metphies' influence and defeat him, severing Ghidorah's connection to reality and allowing [[Godzilla Earth]] to banish him back to the Void.<br />

While discussing the completion of her sonar device the ORCA, [[Monarch]]'s Dr. [[Emma Russell]] and her daughter [[Madison Russell|Madison]] overheard Mothra's roar from their dwelling built in [[China]]'s Yunnan rainforest. Emma was contacted and told to report immediately to Outpost 56, the Temple of the Moth. Upon arrival, they were greeted by entomologist Dr. Tim Mancini, who explained that Mothra's radiation levels have suddenly skyrocketed after she was sleeping peacefully just before. As they entered an observation room overlooking a huge chamber, they witnessed Mothra's glowing blue egg begin to pulse and shift before a huge mass burst from it. Shaking the amniotic fluid from her body, Mothra's larval form finally hatched. Monarch attempted to put a containment field around Mothra, but their systems inexplicably shut down, as if they were being sabotaged by an outside party. Seeing the armed soldiers surrounding her, Mothra began to panic as the soft blue bioluminescent glow being emitted from her body shifted to a red glow. Mothra began to thrash about, spitting silk at the guards and grabbing one guard in her mouth before throwing him into a wall. Emma ran into the chamber with the ORCA and activated it, trying to use it to calm Mothra. As Emma struggled to find the right sonar pattern, Mothra became aggressive and began spitting silk at her. Madison ran into the chamber after her mother, and watched as Mothra was bearing down on both of them. Fortunately, Emma successfully pacified Mothra with the ORCA, and her glow returned once again to the peaceful blue color from when she hatched. Emma and Madison were able to approach Mothra, and Madison placed her hand on the monster's face. Mothra blew air through her nostrils that blew both Emma and Madison back. This peaceful communion between man and monster was interrupted however when a bomb was detonated in the observation room. A group of armed mercenaries entered and gunned down most of the Monarch personnel, then absconded with Emma, Madison, and the ORCA. Mothra subsequently escaped the temple and cocooned herself under a nearby waterfall.<br />
<br />
In their quest to retrieve the ORCA, Monarch came to realize that Emma had been in league with the eco-terrorist group, led by [[Alan Jonah]], and intended to use the ORCA to reawaken the [[Titan]]s around the globe in order to restore balance to nature before the government could exterminate them. The first Titan they unleashed, [[King Ghidorah/Legendary|King Ghidorah]], proved to not belong to the natural order like the others and emitted a call that awakened all of the other Titans around the world. Each of these Titans responded to Ghidorah's call and began doing his bidding, converting the planet's ecosystem to his liking by causing destruction across the globe. However, Mothra did not respond to Ghidorah's call as she emerged from her cocoon in her imago stage. Monarch's Dr. Ling and Dr. [[Houston Brooks]] watched as the imago Mothra spread her glowing wings. Mothra made her way to Monarch's Castle Bravo underwater base, where Monarch and the U.S. military were discussing countermeasures against Ghidorah and the other Titans now that [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla]] was seemingly killed by the experimental [[Oxygen Destroyer]] weapon that failed to harm Ghidorah. Mothra emitted blinding white bioluminescence from her wings that parted the surrounding stormclouds and revealed her presence to everyone in the base. Monarch discovered that Mothra was using sonar to communicate, and that Godzilla was responding from somewhere. Using her bioluminescent God Rays as a beacon, Mothra led Monarch to Godzilla's location. The submarine they were traveling in was pulled inside the Hollow Earth, where they found an ancient sunken city which contained Godzilla's lair. Dr. [[Ishiro Serizawa]] sacrificed himself to detonate one of the sub's nuclear torpedoes next to Godzilla, with the radiation revitalizing him and allowing him to fight once more.<br />
<br />
Godzilla made his way to Boston to confront Ghidorah, supported by the military. Mothra arrived not long after and assisted Godzilla by pinning Ghidorah's heads against a building with her silk attack. Godzilla tackled Ghidorah through the building, but before he could attack again Ghidorah summoned [[Rodan/Legendary|Rodan]] to support him. Rodan intercepted Mothra, and the two flying Titans engaged in an aerial battle across the city as Godzilla and Ghidorah continued to fight on the ground. The molten magma emitted from Rodan's wings burned Mothra's own, causing her to eventually lose her ability to fly. Rodan sent Mothra crashing into a nearby skyscraper, but she used her claws to knock him off and climbed to the top. Rodan flew back around and pinned Mothra to the top of the skyscraper, trying to stab her with his beak. Mothra dodged his attacks and used her stinger to pierce directly through Rodan's chest. Immobilized by the sting, Rodan fell backward down into the burning city below, shrieking in rage. When Ghidorah dropped Godzilla from the sky and seriously injured him, Mothra intervened by weakly climbing onto Godzilla as Ghidorah closed in. She spread her wings to shield Godzilla, then flew directly at Ghidorah who easily disintegrated her with his gravity beams. Mothra's energy floated down onto Godzilla, causing glowing orange cracks to begin forming in his skin. Ultimately, Mothra's energy provided Godzilla with a huge boost in power which caused his entire body to become covered in these glowing patterns and emit intense heat. Godzilla used his new power to finish Ghidorah once and for all. His dorsal fins sparked with energy as he launched forth a burning nuclear pulse of energy which took the shape of Mothra's wings and made the sound of her roar. This pulse incinerated both of Ghidorah's wings, after which Godzilla fired another pulse that melted his left and right heads. Godzilla stomped onto Ghidorah's chest as the energy inside him built to critical levels and exploded. When the smoke cleared, Godzilla emerged victorious from the rubble, holding Ghidorah's remaining head in his jaws. Godzilla incinerated this head with his atomic breath before being confronted by Rodan and the other Titans which Ghidorah had controlled. With Ghidorah gone, the Titans all one by one submitted to Godzilla, accepting him as the new King of the Monsters.<br />
<br />
Under Godzilla's leadership, the Titans became peaceful and helped to restore damaged ecosystems across the globe. Monarch also discovered a Titan egg, which was speculated to be either another Mothra, or something else entirely.<br />

===Physical abilities===<br />
In her larval stage, Mothra's primary form of physical attack involves using her mandibles to bite opponents. Typically she bites onto an enemy's tail, causing them physical pain while she holds on.<br />
<br />
In her imago stage, Mothra slams her massive body into enemies and sometimes strikes them with her wings. She also uses her sharp claws to scratch or stab opponents. Mothra's surprising levels of physical strength allow her to drag and even lift monsters like Godzilla.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Scales===<br />
[[File:Mothra_attack.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra using her reflective scales in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'']]<br />
Typically, Mothra emits "scales" scales from her wings as a last resort, a yellow poisonous powder that can incapacitate enemies. In ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'', Mothra's scales only served to asphyxiate Godzilla and cause him to fall over, while in subsequent incarnations her scales have been given the ability to reflect attacks back at her enemies. In ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'', Mothra can use her scales to create a 3-D mirror which causes beam weapons to repeatedly rebound before striking the target, effectively making them impossible to miss. [[Battra]] took advantage of this ability to attack Godzilla by firing his Prism Beams into the scales, allowing them to strike Godzilla over and over again. However, the scales failed to stop Godzilla's Nuclear Pulse, which sent Mothra flying. In ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'', both missiles from a fighter jet and Godzilla's atomic breath ignited her scales on contact, damaging the latter while leaving her unharmed. In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', they caused [[Gigan]]'s Bladed Slicers to malfunction, severing his own head. In ''[[Godzilla: Project Mechagodzilla|GODZILLA: Project Mechagodzilla]]'', her scales interfere with Godzilla's Asymmetrically Permeable Shield, rendering him defenseless as the scales reflect his atomic breath back at him, injuring him.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Telepathy===<br />
Mothra possesses [[telepathy|telepathic]] abilities which she can use to communicate with her [[Shobijin]] across great distances.<br />
===Silk===<br />
[[File:Mosura3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra spits silk in ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'']]<br />
Mothra can spit a stream of silk at her enemies to either disorient or entrap them. Usually this ability can only be used in her larval stage, but in the [[MonsterVerse]] she is able to use her silk attack even as an imago.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Wind===<br />
In her imago stage, Mothra can flap her wings to create gales which tear apart buildings and knock other kaiju down.<br />
===Antenna Beams===<br />
[[File:GvM15.png|thumb|right|200px|Mothra fires antennae beams in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''.]]<br />
In ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'' and ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', Mothra can fire laser beams from her antennae. In ''Rebirth of Mothra'', this attack is called the Beam Pulser.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Lightning===<br />
[[File:Mothra 1992 arc lightning.png|thumb|right|200px|Mothra releases arcs of lightning from her wings in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''.]]<br />
In ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'', Mothra can fire arcs of lightning through her wings or release this electrical energy through her touch.<br />
===Stinger===<br />
[[File:Mothra stings godzilla.gif|thumb|right|200px|Mothra fires stingers in ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'']]<br />
In ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack|GMK]]'', Mothra can fire a hail of poisonous dart-like stingers from her abdomen. In ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'', she instead possesses a single larger stinger attached to her abdomen which can immobilize enemies pierced by it.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Flight===<br />
Mothra is capable of flight, usually at supersonic speeds, while in her imago stage.<br />
===Eye beams===<br />
[[File:RCO15.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra fires eye beams at [[Battra]] in ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'']]<br />
In ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'', Mothra fires blue beams from her eyes during her fight against [[Battra]] on [[Infant Island]]. Mothra has a similar attack in the NES game, Godzilla Monster of Monsters!<br />
===Stinger Blast===<br />
[[File:Save_the_earth.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mothra using Stinger Blast on [[Godzilla]] in ''[[Godzilla: Save The Earth]]'']] <br />
In the games ''[[Godzilla: Save the Earth]]'' and ''[[Godzilla: Unleashed]]'', while in her imago form, Mothra can shoot white balls of energy from her rear that hone in on targets before exploding. In ''Save the Earth'' specifically, Mothra also uses this technique to enhance some of her melee attacks.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
===Cry for Peace===<br />
[[File:Unleashed.png|thumb|right|200px|Mothra using Cry for Peace on [[Godzilla]] in ''[[Godzilla Unleashed]]'']]<br />
In the [[Pipeworks]] ''Godzilla'' games, while in her imago form, Mothra can send out a rainbow colored shockwave while crying out loudly. Opponents caught in the shockwave receive minor damage but are stunned for a couple of seconds. This ability requires a fair amount of energy to use.<br />
{{Clear}}<br />
==Mothra's Fairies: [[Shobijin]], Cosmos, [[Elias]], [[Maina]] and [[Miana]]==<br />
{{Main|Shobijin|Elias|Maina|Miana}}<br />
Mothra is usually accompanied by two tiny priestesses or fairies (often called Shobijin, Japanese for "small beauties") who also speak for her. For Mothra's first three film appearances these twin fairies were played by the Peanuts, the singing duo of Emi and Yumi Ito. In ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'', they demonstrate [[telepathy|telepathic]] abilities, within speaking range with people and over great distances with Mothra. They explain that while they call to Mothra in prayer and in [[Mothra's Song|song]], they and Mothra are also connected on some deeper level beyond their control, and it is this connection that impels Mothra to find them no matter where they are. These qualities are part of the continuity of all subsequent Mothra appearances. In ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'' the Shobijin also demonstrate teleportation, when trying to escape from Kumayama and [[Jiro Torahata]]. In ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]'' the Shobijin translate not only Mothra's chirps but an entire conversation among her, [[Godzilla/Showa|Godzilla]], and [[Rodan/Showa|Rodan]]. In ''[[Ebirah, Horror of the Deep]]'', the Shobijin are now played by Pair Bambi, but still demonstrate the same telepathic bond with Mothra. Decades later, in ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]'', two other Shobijin (portrayed by Masami Nagasawa and Chihiro Ôtsuka) demonstrate [[telekinesis]] as well.<br />
<br />
In the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]], Mothra's priestesses (played by Keiko Imamura and Sayaka Osawa) identify themselves as [[Earth]]'s Cosmos, who claim to have been created by the very life force of Earth, along with Mothra and her dark counterpart [[Battra]]. The Cosmos speak not only for Mothra, but for the living Earth as well. The Cosmos say that Battra was first created by the Earth to balance the ecosystem, which was disrupted by the climate-altering device of an advanced civilization, 12,000 years ago. However, Battra proved to be a little too enthusiastic about his task, and attempted to wipe out all of mankind. Mothra, who lived in harmony with humanity, fought Battra to stop his rampage. While the Cosmos are connected to Mothra, they are aware of Battra's activity. They know when Battra has awoken, and what his tasks and motivations are, but Battra is not motivated to seek them out, unlike Mothra, who seems compelled to protect them and talks to them directly.<br />
<br />
In the [[:Category:Rebirth of Mothra|''Rebirth of Mothra'' trilogy]], Mothra's priestesses were the [[Elias]]; the Elias differ from earlier incarnations in that they are not mind-linked twins but individual persons, Moll and Lora. They are also seen to have an older sister, a dark Elias called Belvera. In addition to accompanying Mothra, the Elias would also ride a smaller Mothra called [[Fairy Mothra|Fairy]]. Mothra would reprise the role of ancient guardian, though with only a passing homage to the Shobijin, in ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]''. The Shobijin reappear in ''Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.'', and identify themselves as descendants of the two Shobijin who accompanied Mothra in 1961. They appear to [[Shinichi Chujo]] and plead with him to convince the Japanese government to return the [[Godzilla/1954|first Godzilla's]] remains to the sea. In ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', the Shobijin appear to a group of humans and warn them that the cyborg monster recently uncovered by the [[Earth Defense Force]], [[Gigan]], is an ancient enemy of Mothra who attempted to destroy the Earth. They later summon Mothra to aid [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] against Gigan and [[Monster X]].<br />
<br />
Two characters based on the Shobijin, [[Maina]] and [[Miana]], are featured in the ''GODZILLA'' anime trilogy. They are twin sisters and members of the [[Houtua]], a tribe descended from a group of humans that Mothra defended from [[Godzilla Earth|Godzilla]] 20,000 years ago and helped to relocate to the [[Mount Fuji]] area. Like the Shobijin, Maina and Miana are telepathically bonded to Mothra, in this case her surviving egg, and serve as her priestesses and communicate her messages to others. Maina and Miana are distinct from the Shobijin in that rather than being tiny compared to humans, they are human-sized like the rest of their race.<br />

===''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]''===<br />
Mothra appeared as a summonable monster in ''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]''. A Mothra-shaped icon, when picked up, calls in a "Mothra Airstrike," where she flies around the arena firing her antennae beams at all monsters besides the one who retrieved the item. She does little damage with each attack, but can add up. Mothra can be chased off if hit with a beam weapon, but this is difficult to do. Mothra is playable in the game's Game Boy Advance counterpart, ''[[Godzilla: Domination!]]'', and was also playable in ''[[Godzilla: Monster of Monsters!]]''. She was also a boss in ''[[Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact]]''.<br />
<br />
Mothra became playable once again in ''[[Godzilla: Save the Earth]]''. Players start as a larval Mothra, who is slow and has a high defense and a moderate attack. Larva Mothra can use her Silk Shot to immobilize foes, and can spear with her tail and roll around the arena to attack. Pressing R2 and L2 at the same time causes her to metamorph into adult Mothra. Trading speed for defense and attack for weapons, Mothra relies on long-range assaults and a good strategy. She can reflect most beam weapons away from her, and stun opponents when getting up or with a greenish mist. Mothra is unique in that she does not enter Rage Mode, instead she treats the Rage power-up as Health and Energy Recover.<br />
<br />
Mothra is also playable in ''[[Godzilla: Unleashed]]'', and played similarly to ''Save the Earth'', but to morph into adult form, the player must press A, B, C, and Z at the same time instead of R2 and L2. Mothra appears in ''[[Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters]]''. In early missions she is an enemy, but in later missions will appear as a friendly unit if her egg is found (being near the egg heals her). Both her adult and larva forms appear in the game.<br />

"Mothra is a guardian of the earth, and only exists to defend the earth from pollution, corruption and devastation. Mothra begins life as a giant larvae, with a barbed tail and a web-spinning snout. Once danger threatens, however, Mothra cocoons herself and transforms into her flying adult form. As an adult, Mothra creates powerful gusts of wind from her wings and create clouds from her scales to reflect energy attacks. Although her wings appear frail, Mothra is a very capable melee opponent, using her superior mobility to strike her opponents quickly and then retreat. Mothra is devoted to rooting out the crystal corruption, and abhors monsters who absorb their energies for personal advancement."<br />

Mothra can be randomly encountered by the player in either form. She possesses the powers and appearance of her [[Mothra/Heisei|Heisei incarnation]]. In larva form, Mothra is very small and attacks by jumping at [[Godzilla]] and biting him and spitting silk at him. In imago form, Mothra can ram Godzilla, smack him with her wings, or use her antenna beams or reflective scales. Mothra is one of the easier opponents faced in the game, and for this reason is one of the first opponents faced in King of the Monsters Mode. Both forms of Mothra are fully playable in the Defend variation of God of Destruction Mode in the PlayStation 4 version of the game.<br />

Mothra was the guardian of an indigenous tribe known as "Mothra's People" that lived in the Amazon rainforest in South America. She possessed healing powers and also used scales released from her wings to defend herself. She originally had a counterpart named [[Battra]], and it was said that their combined strength would be enough to defeat [[Godzilla Earth|Godzilla]]. However, Battra had awakened before Mothra in response to the approach of an asteroid called [[Gorath]], and was killed by Godzilla. In 2048, Mothra's People, led by the shrine maiden Lira, revealed themselves to the remaining [[United Earth]] forces which had been left behind by the Extraterrestrial Emigration Plan.<br />

On July 31, 2048, several months after the Extraterrestrial Emigration Plan was enacted, Godzilla attacked the city of Buenaventura, where the remnants of humanity had gathered, intent on destroying the last bastion of human resistance. However, Mothra appeared to challenge Godzilla and successfully forced him to retreat following a fierce battle, in which she used her scales to reflect Godzilla's atomic breath back at him. Because Mothra could not defeat Godzilla alone, a group known as the Monster Coexistence Sect or [[Shobijin|Cosmos]], which wanted to emulate Mothra's People and live in harmony with Mothra, proposed that Mothra's eggs be transported to [[Japan]] so that her offspring could one day defend humans still living there. Their plan, codenamed "Operation: Cradle" and headed by Akira Sakaki, was put into action, with the [[USS Saratoga|USS ''Saratoga'']] carrying Mothra's eggs to Japan. Godzilla appeared and intercepted the convoy on August 15, and the injured adult Mothra fought him to defend her offspring and ensure the operation's success.<ref name="Project Mechagodzilla">{{cite book|author=Oki, Renji|title=[[Godzilla: Project Mechagodzilla|GODZILLA: Project Mechagodzilla]]|publisher=[[Kadokawa]]|date=25 April 2018|pages=164-180|isbn=9784041063453}}</ref><br />

[[File:RoE_Mothra.jpg|thumb|200px|Mothra in ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'']]Mothra first appeared in [[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Issue 1|''Rulers of Earth'' #1]] in a panel when Dr. Kenji Ando was explaining Megazoology in a convention in Honolulu, Hawaii.<br />
<br />
In [[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Issue 4|''Rulers of Earth'' #4]], Mothra fought [[Destoroyah]] with [[Godzilla]] by her side. She was gravely injured and had to be assisted by her twin larvae. After the fight with Destoroyah, Godzilla bids farewell to Mothra and she is carried back to [[Infant Island]] by her twin larvae. Mothra is then seen in [[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Issue 9|''Rulers of Earth'' #9]], resting on Infant Island with her twin larvae. The [[Shobijin]] remark that Mothra may never recover from the injuries she sustained in her battle with Destoroyah.<br />
<br />
In [[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Issue 19|''Rulers of Earth'' #19]], the Shobijin arrived at the [[Monster Island]]s with Mothra's larvae and explained that [[Infant Island]] was recently attacked by [[Battra]], who was under the control of [[Minette and Mallory]]. They told [[Steven Woods]] that Mothra was killed in the battle and the entire island was destroyed, with only them and the larvae escaping. Shortly after, Battra arrived at the islands with Minette and Mallory, intent on finishing the job. However, before Battra could kill Mothra's larvae, the [[Trilopod]]s arrived, attacking Battra and the other monsters on the islands. The larvae escaped capture by the Trilopods and remained on the islands. After the Trilopods and the [[Cryogs]] were defeated by the other Earth monsters in Los Angeles, Mothra's larvae were seen cocooning themselves on a security monitor on the Monster Islands.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: Cataclysm]]''===<br />
[[File:Mothra Cataclysm.jpg|thumb|200px|Mothra in ''[[Godzilla: Cataclysm Issue 2|Godzilla: Cataclysm #2]]'']]Mothra is initially seen in a flashback by Arata's grandfather, showing her as part of a massive battle in Tokyo between [[Godzilla]], [[King Ghidorah]], [[Manda]], and [[Anguirus]]. The grandfather later recalls that some of the people in his village pray to Mothra to bring them good fortune. Later, Mothra herself actually appears and joins the battle between Godzilla and [[Biollante]]. After Godzilla incinerates Biollante, he blasts Mothra in the wing with his atomic breath, forcing her to retreat.<br />
<br />
Later, Arata's grandfather hypothesizes that Mothra was protecting Biollante so that she could restore the Earth, while Godzilla wanted to destroy her to prevent humanity from ever being able to hurt him again. While Biollante regenerates, she attracts [[Megaguirus]] and her swarm of [[Meganulon|Meganula]]. The giant dragonflies try to feed on Biollante, but Mothra arrives to battle them. Mothra and Megaguirus clash in the skies, and the Meganula swarm onto Mothra. Mothra knocks the Meganula aside with her wings and prepares to attack Megaguirus again, but a sudden blast of Godzilla's atomic breath separates the two monsters. Mothra and Godzilla do battle, but Mothra is badly wounded by repeated blasts from Godzilla's atomic breath, shredding her wings. Mothra fights bravely but is defeated when Godzilla blasts her with his hyper spiral ray.<br />
<br />
Following the emergence of [[Destoroyah]], Mothra flies back into battle to assist Godzilla against the demonic creature. Destoroyah vaporizes Mothra with his micro-oxygen beam, but is subsequently destroyed by the combined efforts of Godzilla and the regenerating Biollante. Though Mothra gave her life in the battle, Godzilla returns to the sea to leave mankind alone, while Biollante begins the process of restoring the greenness of the Earth. Meanwhile, a larval Mothra hatches from a colorful egg, with another identical egg next to it beginning to hatch, showing that Mothra will be reborn along with the rest of the world.<br />
===''[[Godzilla: Oblivion]]''===<br />
Two Mothra larvae appeared in [[Godzilla: Oblivion Issue 1|the first issue]] of ''[[Godzilla: Oblivion]]'', where they fought two small [[Rodan]]s in an alternate dimension.<br />
<br />
Two larvae later appeared along with an adult Mothra at the end of the [[Godzilla: Oblivion Issue 4|fourth issue]], alongside Rodan, [[Anguirus]], [[Biollante]], [[Zilla]] and [[King Caesar]] as they crossed through the inter-dimensional border while [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]] was fighting [[Godzilla]]. In the [[Godzilla: Oblivion Issue 5|following issue]], where the monsters were now joined by [[Hedorah]], Mecha-King Ghidorah attacked one of the Mothra larvae, leading its parent to attack the cyborg monster herself, leaving him vulnerable to Anguirus' attacks. She then turned her attention towards Godzilla and attacked him alongside Rodan. Later, after Mecha-King Ghidorah was defeated by Godzilla, all of the monsters were left behind as the humans left the [[Earth]] as it became covered by tiny robotic cells that served as interdimensional doorways.<br />

They use the Kasuga family cat to play the part of a giant monster heading towards Tokyo with a final confrontation at Tokyo Tower and the Kasuga Twins playing the part of lost princesses that the monster is seeking. The twins even sing to the monster in order to calm it down and they ride on the monster back to their island paradise.<br />

*Mothra looks strikingly similar to the Generation III [[Pokémon]] Beautifly, even having an almost identical color scheme.<br />
*The [[Pokémon]] anime makes a direct reference to Mothra through Caterpie. In an episode a giant Caterpie attacks a city similar to Tokyo and it evolves into Metapod while on a tower similar to Tokyo Tower.<br />
*In the Generation V [[Pokémon]] video games, Volcarona (a giant, fire-controlling moth [[Pokémon]]) is likely to have been influenced by Mothra.<br />
*At the end of the Mad Cartoon Sketch: "Linkong", the [[Shobijin]] from 1961's ''Mothra ''(plus their various appearances in several Godzilla films) appear, narrating the epilogue and summoning Mothra Washington. Mothra flies on-screen, with authentic chirps.<br />

*In August of 2014, the [[Godzilla (1998 film)|1998 film]] was mocked by RiffTrax Live, which was created by and shares many of the former members of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. During the riffing, they made witty references to King Ghidorah and [[Mothra]].<br />
*A small U.S. poster for ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'' appears on the wall of a video store in the 2002 film ''Men in Black II''.<br />
==Roar==<br />
Mothra's chirps are a combination of heavily sped-up [[Anguirus]] roars and various [[Rodan]] screeches, including the raw material that would be used to make [[Maguma]]'s roars. This is most evident during a scene in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'' where Mothra is hit by artillery and moans in pain, emitting a sound that is almost identical to Anguirus' roar. According to the "Godzilla Quiz" included with the home video release of the ''[[Monster Planet of Godzilla]]'' short film, the Japanese onomatopoeia for Mothra's cry is "squeak" {{Nihongo|キィー|kyī}}. In ''[[Godzilla: Rulers of Earth]]'', the imago Mothra's cries are rendered as "CHEERNT."<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Mothra was the first Toho [[kaiju]] [[Godzilla]] faced that did not debut in the [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]] series but was instead incorporated into and absorbed by it, becoming one of the series' recurring characters.<br />
*The Ultraman kaiju Aboras, his roars compared to Mothra, is also a high pitched [[Anguirus]] roar.<br />
**Mothra is also the only Toho kaiju to receive films dedicated to herself and her kind (''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'' and its [[Rebirth of Mothra II|two]] [[Rebirth of Mothra III|sequels]]) after appearing in the Godzilla series.<br />
*Mothra has become one of [[Godzilla]]'s most challenging opponents, having achieved the greatest success rate against him in battle. She has once overcome Godzilla in imago form, and twice Godzilla has fought her to her death only later to be bested by her newborn larvae. It should be mentioned that Mothra has never beaten Godzilla alone in her imago form. The only victories by Mothra over Godzilla were the twin Mothra larvae in ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'' in the [[Showa era|Showa series]], imago Mothra and imago Battra in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'' in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]] and the twin larvae and [[Kiryu]] in ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]'' in the [[Millennium era|Millennium series]].<br />
*Mothra was the first kaiju fought by Godzilla to be female, the first one to be an insect, and the first one capable of flight. She was also the second insect kaiju to appear in a Toho film, predated only by the [[Meganulon]] from ''[[Rodan (film)|Rodan]]''.<br />
*Mothra is widely considered to be Toho's second most popular kaiju behind Godzilla, due to her numerous film appearances both in and outside of the Godzilla franchise. Toho has even given Mothra the title "Queen of (the) Monsters," a counterpart to Godzilla's "King of the Monsters."<ref name="Mothra Soundtrack"/><ref name="Mothra VHS"/><ref name="Mothra LD"/><br />
*Toho had intended to follow ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' with a revival of Mothra in her own spin-off film, ''[[Mothra vs. Bagan]]''. However, following the unimpressive box office performance of ''Biollante'', Toho discarded the project in favor of another Godzilla film, ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]''. A 1992 survey revealed that Mothra was Toho's most popular [[kaiju]] among women, an observation which inspired Toho to again revise its plans, abandoning a [[The Return of King Ghidorah (Heisei)|proposed direct sequel]] to ''King Ghidorah'' in favor of a Godzilla–Mothra film. Following the end of the Heisei Godzilla series, Toho produced the ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'' trilogy. Mothra thus became the first Toho [[kaiju]] to lead its own films after its incorporation into the Godzilla franchise.<br />
*According to an interview with [[Kenpachiro Satsuma]], Koichi Kawakita originally wanted Mothra to be killed in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'' and appear in a sequel as [[MechaMothra]].<ref name="MechaMothra">[http://web.archive.org/web/20140419012759/http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/satsum2.htm Kenpachiro Satsuma Interview II by David Milner. Translation by Yoshihiko Shibata. MechaMothra concept discussed near end of interview. (Conducted in July 1994)]</ref><br />
*Mothra is one of the few monsters that has appeared in the Showa, Heisei, and Millennium Godzilla series, and she is slated to appear in [[MonsterVerse|Legendary's series of Godzilla films]] as well.<br />
*Despite dying frequently in her film appearances, Mothra has only ever been killed by Godzilla and [[Desghidorah]], though she did seemingly kill both herself and Gigan instantaneously in ''Godzilla: Final Wars''.<br />
*Although Mothra is one of Godzilla's most frequent allies, she has only been his ally in the films ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]'', ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]'', ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', although briefly, and ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]''. In all of her other film appearances alongside Godzilla so far, Mothra has been his enemy.<br />
*In addition to her appearance on [[Monster Island]] via stock footage in ''[[Godzilla vs. Gigan]]'', Mothra can be very briefly seen during the film's final battle, appearing behind Godzilla as he walks towards King Ghidorah. This "cameo" is unintentional, a result of the film's extensive use of stock footage from ''Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster'' and other Showa Godzilla films.<br />
*Though Mothra is in general a female kaiju, there have been male members of her kind. In ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', Mothra has a son named [[Mothra Leo]], who goes on to star in the next two films of the trilogy. Mothra Leo reappears as Mothra's son in ''[[Godzilla Island (series)|Godzilla Island]]'', where he has a sister named Baby Mothra. Sometimes, Mothra's twin larvae possess different genders. In the [[Godzilland]] merchandise line released in 1984, one of Mothra's larvae is depicted as a boy and the other as a girl. Merchandise for ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]]'' differentiates the two larvae from the film as male and female, with the male having darker colored skin and longer tusks and tail projections than the female. During production of the film, the male larva was nicknamed "Taro" by the staff, while they called the female "Hanako." The American dubs of ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'' and ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]'' refers to Mothra as male, though this only applies to the dubs and all other official translations refer to the character as a female.<br />
*''[[Godzilla: Monster Apocalypse|GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse]]'', the prequel novel to ''[[Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters|GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters]]'', makes reference to Mothra through the mention a monster living in South America that fights using silk and powder and is friendly to humans, though Mothra is not actually mentioned by name. The novel's sequel ''[[Godzilla: Project Mechagodzilla|GODZILLA: Project Mechagodzilla]]'', however, confirms that the monster in South America is in fact Mothra.<br />
*Early concept art by [[Tohl Narita]] for the monster [[w:c:ultra:Guesra|Guesra]] from ''[[w:c:ultra:Ultraman (series)|Ultraman]]'' envisioned the monster as a spiky, caterpillar-like creature who would have been portrayed with a modified Mothra larva prop.<ref name="Guesra">[[File:Guesra concept art.png|150px]]</ref> [[Tsuburaya Productions]] ended up modifying the [[w:c:ultra:Peter|Peter]] suit from ''[[w:c:ultra:Ultra Q|Ultra Q]]'' instead.<br />
