Mothra (モスラ are a group of giant silkworm moths who appear in the Mosura)2021 anime series, Godzilla Singular Point.
Name
The name "Mothra" is the suffixation of "-ra" (a common last syllable in kaiju names) to "moth." Since the Japanese language does not have dental fricatives, it is approximated "Mosura" in Japanese. Originally, Mothra's name was approximated in English as "Mosla," but it was later corrected to "Mothra" by the time of the release of her debut film.[1]
Design
As silkworm moths, their main body is more in-line to the correct proportions of the insect, sporting a white-furred exoskeleton with yellow dorsal stripe and black ventral stripe, yellow varied-antennae, and blue eyes. Their wings have an exotic pigmentation of yellow and black stripes, with red-accented hindwings. Additionally, they shed glitter-like scales in flight.
Origins
The moths were found in the areas of Tokyo blanketed in Red Dust emitted by Godzilla. Due to archetype's ability to terraform the surrounding environment and plantlife, Yun Arikawa theorized the Mothras were once specimens of Japanese giant silkworm moths, mutated during the monster's trek through Tokyo. In spite of this, these creatures do not appear to exude Red Mist by themselves, and are generally harmless to humans.
Personality
The Mothras have a docile behavior with no trepidation toward larger beings, as one moth gently landed on Jet Jaguar's finger for a moment before it flew away.
History
