King Ghidorah (キングギドラ Kingu Gidora) is a three-headed dragon kaiju who appears in the 2019 web series Godziban, specifically its Go! Go! Godzilla-kun segments.
The combined form of the evil Three Dorat Brothers, King Ghidorah has done battle with many of Earth's monsters. The Dorats first attained this form to battle Grandpa Zilla over Moshu-Moshu's egg, then again to fight Godzilla-kun and his monster allies. Most recently, the Three Dorat Brothers combined into King Ghidorah to steal Rodan's fruit, though the three-headed monster was repelled by the combined efforts of Godzilla-kun, Rodan, and Moshu-Moshu.
Name
The "Ghidorah" (ギドラ Gidora) part of King Ghidorah's name comes from the Japanese word for "hydra" (ヒドラ Hidora), which shares two of its three katakana characters with "Ghidorah." It also, coincidentally or not, sounds very similar to the Russian pronunciation of "hydra" (Гидра, ˈɡʲidrə).
Design
The King Ghidorah in Godziban is modeled after the Heisei incarnation of the character, and looks more or less identical to it. The biggest visible difference between the Godziban and Heisei King Ghidorahs is that the Godziban incarnation's tongues are not forked.
Personality
Like the Three Dorat Brothers who comprise him, King Ghidorah is a hostile and evil creature who seeks to devour anything he comes across, be it a monster egg or a basket of fruit. Upon combining into King Ghidorah, the Dorats will attack any monster who stands in their way, even when outnumbered.
Origins
King Ghidorah is a form that the Three Dorat Brothers can attain by combining with each other. They often transform into King Ghidorah when opposed by a monster of sufficient strength or by multiple monsters that they cannot defeat in their base form.
