History

Heisei series

Rebirth of Mothra

After Yuichi Goto unwittingly removed the Seal of Elias keeping Desghidorah locked away. Garugaru transported Belvera to Yuichi's house to seize it from his daughter Wakaba. When her brother Goto returned home from school, Garugaru fired an energy blast at his backpack as a warning. Belvera's younger sisters Moll and Lora and their steed Fairy soon burst into the house to challenge Belvera and Garugaru in a destructive dogfight. It was attacked by Fairy Mothra, but it managed to escape. It transported Belvera to Desghidorah's tomb, and was eventually destroyed by Fairy Mothra. Taiki managed to catch Belvera and Garugaru in a butterfly net, but the dragon wounded Fairy with a blind shot before retreating. Traveling to Desghidorah's resting place, Belvera mind-controlled Yuichi to make him drive a bulldozer loaded with dynamite towards the tomb. After he hit a bump and fell out, Garugaru fired a beam at the bulldozer, destroying it in a massive explosion. Belvera used the Seal of Elias to begin Desghidorah's awakening. Suddenly Moll and Lora attacked her in a kite directed by Taiki, knocking her off Garugaru and regaining the Seal. After Moll and Lora gave it to Wakaba for safekeeping and called upon Mothra, Belvera retook the Seal, only to lose it again as Mothra fired a shot across Garugaru's bow. 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. 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.

Rebirth of Mothra II

Garugaru was rebuilt to help Belvera again, but it was only used for transport. It was modified with cannons, and fought Fairy Mothra once before escaping with Belvera.

Rebirth of Mothra III

Garugaru 3 was built with more advanced weaponry, but it was damaged by King Ghidorah when it was pulled into his dome, but Belvera escaped. After Mothra Leo defeated King Ghidorah once and for all, Belvera arrived to witness Leo's transformation into Eternal Mothra, having repaired Garugaru at some point during the battle. Afterwards, she left on the repaired Garugaru once Moll was revived.

Abilities
