Chibi Mothra
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chibi Mothra (ちびモスラ Chibi Mosura) is a juvenile kaiju who first appeared in the 2019 children's book Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla. A moth with sparkling wings, Chibi Mothra is a close friend of Chibi Godzilla and his other friends. She appears in all three Chibi Godzilla picture books as well as the web anime I'm Home! Chibi Godzilla and the TV anime series Chibi Godzilla Raids Again.
Name
Chibi Mothra's name comes from placing chibi (ちび), a Japanese word meaning "little," in front of Mothra's name. The Shobijin address her by the nickname M (モスちゃん Mosu-chan, lit. "Ms. Moth").
Design
Chibi Mothra is a cream color while her wings are red with yellow spots. She has three pairs of legs, two feathery white antennae, big round eyes with blue pupils, and a yellow beak.
Personality
In the Chibi Godzilla children's books, Chibi Mothra has a gentle personality and is said to comfort Chibi Godzilla when he cries. She is a friend of Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Ghidorah, Chibi Rodan, Chibi Anguirus, and the Chibi Mechagodzilla Brothers.
In Chibi Godzilla Raids Again, Chibi Mothra is very shy around other monsters and typically only interacts with the more outgoing Shobijin sisters. Chibi Mothra has difficulty expressing herself through words and gets flustered by conversations with other monsters, and for this reason the Shobijin will sometimes try to "translate" for her, though their translations tend to comically misrepresent Chibi Mothra's feelings.

Books
Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla
When feeling lonely, Chibi Godzilla set out to look for friends, encountering Chibi Mothra along with Chibi Rodan, Chibi Anguirus, and Chibi Ghidorah. Chibi Godzilla remarked that Chibi Mothra's wings sparkled with light. 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.
