Dorats (ドラット, Doratto^?) are small, genetically engineered kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1991 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.

Name

Dorat's name comes from the "dora" (ドラ^?) in "King Ghidorah" (キングギドラ^?).

Origins

The Dorats were genetically engineered to be the perfect pets in the 23rd century. According to the Japanese novelization of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, the Dorats were engineered from genetic material recovered from King Ghidorah's preserved corpse on Venus by the Futurians.

History

Heisei Series

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

The Dorats were three genetically engineered pets brought from the future by the Futurians. They were kept on the Futurians' ship, MOTHER and its sister ship, KIDS, first being seen when Emmy takes the humans onboard. They were taken back in time to Lagos Island in 1944, where the Futurians believed the later Catle Bravo nuclear test would mutate the Godzillasaurus living there into Godzilla. The Dorats seemed excited after being taken back in time, and Emmy calmed them down using a special whistle. After the Godzillasaurus was transported to the Bering Sea, the Dorats were left behind to be exposed to the hydrogen bomb test in 1954, which combined and mutated them into King Ghidorah.

Abilities

Dorats can use their wings to fly and they also can sense feelings through microwave impulses.

Video Games

I'm waiting to see if Toho can top this and see if they can find an even worse way to ruin Ghidorah's origin story.

These things are so adorable that it's almost disturbing. If these are pets from the year 2204, I can only wonder how strange the world of the Futurians really is, what with Japan becoming a global superpower, amongst other things.
