The largest of the Trilopods, Magita dwelt within the creatures' giant hive in Los Angeles, and was released as the [[Cryog]] Emperor Karkaro attempted to seize victory over Earth's monsters from the jaws of defeat. Magita turned its incredible power against the combined efforts of the Earth monsters, including [[Godzilla]], [[Anguirus]], [[Rodan]], [[King Caesar]], and [[Zilla]]. When they were unable to overcome the beast, Godzilla called upon every ounce of his power to fire a devastating spiral red heat ray followed by a nuclear pulse that obliterated Magita and ended the Trilopod invasion.
