Chibi Ghidorah
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chibi Ghidorah (ちびギドラ Chibi Gidora) is a juvenile kaiju who first appeared in the 2018 children's book Do Your Best, Chibi Godzilla. A three-headed dragon with the talent to sing, Chibi Ghidorah is a close friend of Chibi Godzilla and his other friends. He is featured in all three Chibi Godzilla books which have been published so far, as well as the web anime I'm Home! Chibi Godzilla and the TV anime series Chibi Godzilla Raids Again.
Name
Chibi Ghidorah's name comes from placing chibi (ちび), a Japanese word meaning "little," in front of "Ghidorah" (ギドラ Gidora). He is sometimes referred to by the full name Chibi King Ghidorah (ちびキングギドラ Chibi Kingu Gidora), but is primarily referred to by the shorter name. The Japanese-English subtitles and episode names of I'm Home! Chibi Godzilla refer to him as Chibighidorah.
Design
Chibi Ghidorah is a bipedal yellow three-headed dragon with three white horns atop each head, two wings at his sides, and two tails. Each of his heads possesses a different facial expression. The right head has a mean expression, the middle head has a happy expression with its eyes and mouth open, and the left head has its eyes and mouth closed in a happy expression.
Personality
Each of Chibi Ghidorah's heads has a different personality. When introduced to Chibi Mechagodzilla in "The Three-Headed Scary God, Chibi Ghidorah", the middle head is eager to become Chibi Mechagodzilla's friend, the right head hates him, and the left head plots to exploit his friendship for favors and financial gain. In "Chibi Ghidorah, a Consultant", the heads are seen bickering with each other. Chibi Ghidorah likes to sing with all three of his heads. He is friends with Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Rodan, Chibi Mothra, Chibi Anguirus, and Chibi Mechagodzilla.

Do Your Best, Chibi Godzilla
Chibi Ghidorah and Chibi Rodan bested Chibi Godzilla in a footrace, causing him to cry. However, every time Chibi Godzilla cried he breathed fire, which delighted both Chibi Ghidorah and Chibi Rodan.
Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla
When feeling lonely, Chibi Godzilla set out to look for friends, encountering Chibi Ghidorah along with Chibi Mothra, Chibi Anguirus, and Chibi Rodan. Chibi Godzilla remarked that Chibi Ghidorah was very good at singing. When the other monsters asked what Chibi Godzilla could do, he responded saying he could breathe fire and exhaled a blast of fire at them, prompting them to flee. While running after them, Chibi Godzilla's fire breath caused fruit to fall out of a nearby tree. He asked the other monsters to share the fruit with him, and they all ate until they were full. Chibi Godzilla was no longer lonely as he befriended the other monsters.
