History

Heisei era

Godzilla Island

Mothra resided in a cave on Godzilla Island with her larval son, Little Mothra. In addition to her son, Mothra had an unhatched daughter named Baby Mothra, whose egg she hid inside of Gorath Volcano in order to keep it safe from Battra. She assisted the other kaiju residents of the island against the Xiliens' efforts to destroy it, and at one point helped to rescue Godzilla Junior. However, Mothra eventually grew old and remained inside her cave with her son. When a meteor crashed on the island and was revealed as the space monster Hedorah, Mothra flew into battle to try and defeat him, but was badly injured. Hedorah went after Little Mothra, but Mothra grabbed the Smog Monster and carried him into the crater of Gorath Volcano. Mothra's strength failed her, and she too fell into the volcano and was killed by the eruption. However, Hedorah survived and continued to menace the island. Little Mothra was devastated by his mother's death and initially refused to form a cocoon and mature into his imago stage, but was finally convinced to do so by a desperate plea from Torema. Little Mothra matured into Mothra Leo and joined forces with Godzilla, successfully defeating Hedorah. After this victory, the spirit of Mother Mothra appeared before her son and told him goodbye before disappearing.
