Mothra Gemini
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mothra Gemini is a giant divine moth kaiju who will appear in the 2025 IDW Publishing comic Mothra: Queen of the Monsters. Following the death of Mothra, a pair of psychic twins traveled back in time and located Mothra Gemini's egg with the hopes of changing history and preventing mankind's dark future.
Name
Mothra Gemini was not named in the press release for the series announcement; co-creator Matt Frank first revealed her name on X (formerly Twitter) the day after the comic series was first announced.[1]
Design
Mothra Gemini's imago form closely resembles various past incarnations of Mothra while incorporating various elements of Mothra Leo, the son of Mothra featured in the Rebirth of Mothra film trilogy. Like most versions of Mothra, Mothra Gemini features a body of white, black, and orange fur alongside wings of red, orange, yellow, and black. Mothra Gemini's body, head, and arms are covered in a thick fur, giving her a noticeably fluffier appearance than most versions of Mothra. The fur on the edges of her wings sport a unique stripped pattern of yellow and black while her wing patterns also differ from typical Mothra incarnations, featuring zigzag-like lines and swirls. Her feather-like antennae are also nearly identical to those of Mothra Leo, and her eyes are similarly oval-shaped.
Mothra Gemini's larval form, meanwhile, differs dramatically from previous depictions of Mothra's larvae. Her skin is a vibrant yellow with orange splotches and a white underbelly. Her eyes are large and black, and she uniquely sports antennae. Her legs are additionally more pronounced than other depictions of the character.
Origins
Mothra Gemini's egg is discovered by psychic twins Emi and Mira after they travel back in time to the Jurassic period.

Trivia
- Mothra Gemini bears a few similarities to the Mothra redesign featured in the previous IDW Publishing comics Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors and Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors - Summer Smash, where she was also depicted with a particularly fluffy body.
- The concept a new imago Mothra succeeding an elder Mothra that dies at the hands of an enemy kaiju is highly reminiscent of Mothra Leo from the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy. Additionally, both Mothra Leo and Mothra Gemini have zodiac-based names, along with feathery antennae.
