Fairy Mothra (妖精 (フェアリー)モスラ, Fearī Mosura),^{[note 1]} also known as simply Fairy (フェアリー, Fearī), is a tiny divine moth kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1994 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla.

Design

Fairy Mothra looks like a miniature Mothra, but the patterns on its body look less like Mothra's or Leo's with each new puppet made for it.

Personality

Fairy Mothra is playful and kind to humans, and shows undying loyalty to the Elias, Moll and Lora, who Fairy is quick to protect.

History

Heisei series

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla

While in space, Mothra spawned thousands of Fairy Mothras, and one was sent to Earth to deliver a message from the Cosmos. In a park, Miki Saegusa was thinking about Project T, a plan which she wasn't sure of, which aimed to control Godzilla with her psychic powers. Just then, a nearby tree's leaves started glowing, and so did her earrings, which had the symbol of the Cosmos. From the tree came out a Fairy Mothra. The Fairy Mothra transformed into a projection of the Cosmos, who told her that SpaceGodzilla was going to try to kill Godzilla, and wanted her to somehow help defeat this monster. The Cosmos disappeared, leaving Miki, who now thought it was necessary to join the project.

Fairy Mothra appeared later when Miki was on Birth Island. The Cosmos warned her that everyone needed to work together to defeat SpaceGodzilla. After SpaceGodzilla was defeated, Fairy Mothra came back again. The Cosmos thanked Miki for saving the world, and Fairy Mothra returned to outer space.

Rebirth of Mothra trilogy

Rebirth of Mothra

After sensing that someone had removed the Seal of Elias used to trap Desghidorah in a Hokkaido forest, Moll and Lora summoned Fairy from Mothra to fly them to Hokkaido. They tracked the Seal to the Gotos' house, where their older sister Belvera had seized it with evil intent. Fairy burst into the house and engaged Belvera's dragon steed Garugaru in a destructive dogfight. Taiki Goto managed to catch Belvera and Garugaru in a butterfly net, but the dragon wounded Fairy with a blind shot before retreating, leaving her unable to fly. After the Elias flew to Hokkaido by plane with the Gotos and regained the Seal from Belvera, they used its power to heal Fairy. But they were too late to stop Desghidorah's awakening, leaving them with no choice but to call upon Mothra. After a long battle, Desghidorah forced Mothra and her newly-hatched son Mothra Leo to retreat. The elder Mothra soon died from her injuries, while Leo traveled to the island of Yakushima to metamorphose. Moll and Lora sang to him as became an imago. He challenged Desghidorah again, this time with an overwhelming edge in speed and firepower. As Moll and Lora chased Belvera on Fairy, Leo shot down Garugaru with a pair of Crossheat Lasers. Flames from the battle approached Belvera and Garugaru, the latter revealed to be a machine, but Fairy carried Belevera to safety just in time. After Leo put Desghidorah out of commission with the Shine Strike Buster, Taiki and Wakaba gave Moll and Lora the Seal of Elias to lock the monster away once more. Belvera wriggled out of Fairy's grasp and warned Moll and Lora never to trust human beings before escaping. After Leo restored the forest to its former resplendent state, he returned to Infant Island with Moll and Lora following on Fairy.

Rebirth of Mothra II

Fairy Mothra appeared once again in Rebirth of Mothra II as a transport for the Elias.

Rebirth of Mothra III

Fairy Mothra appeared for the final time in Rebirth of Mothra III. She communicated with Mothra Leo when Moll died.

Abilities

Shape Shifting

In Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Fairy Mothra can change its appearance to that of the Cosmos.

Beams

Scanning

In Rebirth of Mothra III, Fairy can scan things to find lifeform essences.
