Lightning Bug
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lightning Bug is an unused kaiju from the 2007 Godzilla game Godzilla: Unleashed. She was one of four contestants in an IGN readers' poll to determine the game's final roster spot, along with The Visitor, Fire Lion, and the victorious Obsidius (then called Magmouth).
Proposed bio
“
|
An experiment to weaponize alien crystal energy goes terribly wrong when a tiny firefly buzzes into the focused energy stream. The fly survives just long enough to lay her eggs in the test facilities cooling ponds. One of the eggs mutates and produces this uber bug."[1].

Development
According to modeler/animator Will Short, "The Lightning Bug is a genetically-engineered cyborg developed from a host of insect DNA and grafted with a multi-alloy chassis by a hostile alien race. Lightning Bug’s design was a combination of the armor from EVA-01 of Neon Genesis Evangelion fame and the bioluminescent appearance of the Drej from Titan A.E. The cyborg's chief offensive capabilities are based on its incredible capacity for raw energy as well as its unique ability to absorb ambient energy from its surroundings. Lightning Bug's energy core is located in its constantly glowing tail while its large wings can generate a tremendous amount of power when raised to produce a massive blast of energy. Though the chassis provides excellent armor, the extra durability is merely a fortunate by-product of its true nature as a non-conductive harness meant to contain the unstable energies constantly radiated from the cyborg's body. Normally, the chassis emits a soft green glow from its plate binding, but the color might occasionally become orange when it sustains massive trauma and containment is compromised."[1]
Abilities
Wings
Lightning Bug's wings allow her to hover, shield her from physical and energy attacks, and emit energy blasts.
Multi-alloy chassis
An unknown alien race outfitted Lightning Bug with a multi-alloy chassis, which provides protection and containment of the unstable energies in her body. It normally glows green, but will turn orange if it is heavily damaged.
Energy absorption
Lightning Bug can absorb ambient energy from her surroundings.
