Neo-Hedorah
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Neo-Hedorah (ネオヘドラ Neo Hedora) is an alien sludge kaiju who first appeared in the 1997 Godzilla television series, Godzilla Island.
Name
Neo-Hedorah's name comes from a combination of the words "Neo", a word meaning new or modified, and "Hedorah", the monster who directly inspired Neo-Hedorah. The exact spelling of Neo-Hedorah's name in English was confirmed by the official English translation of Godzilla Island on the YouTube channel.
Design
Neo-Hedorah looks similar to the normal Hedorah, but instead of being a dark green, Neo-Hedorah is light blue with cotton candy-pink patches. Like Hedorah, his eyes are red with yellow irises.
Personality
Neo-Hedorah is similar to many of the other Xilien pawns in that he is highly aggressive towards Godzilla Island's monsters and obedient to the Xiliens, specifically Randeth.
Origins
Neo-Hedorah's origins are unknown outside of its symbiosis with the Matango and alliance with the Xiliens.

Godzilla Island
Fire Rodan
Although the origins of Neo-Hedorah are unknown, it is known that the creature appeared on Matango Island, the island right next to Godzilla Island, early in 2098, and that it has an unusual symbiotic relationship with the Matango, an unusual species of mushroom. The creature was able to defeat Godzilla in battle, and the mushrooms the Smog Monster produced spread all across Godzilla Island, destroying the food supply and even growing on the other monsters themselves. However, in the end it was Misato Jinguji, Beisuke Jinguji's daughter, who came to the rescue. She had discovered that the only way to kill the creature and the mushrooms it produced was to use extremely high temperatures, over 100,000 degrees, to dry them out. With the aid of the monster King Caesar, she performed an ancient ceremony that transformed the flying monster Rodan into the powerful Fire Rodan. Using an energy beam of pure fire, Fire Rodan burned Neo-Hedorah to a crisp, ending the creature's reign of terror once and for all.
Abilities
Gas
Neo-Hedorah's powers include the ability to release a gas (similar to the normal Hedorah's sulfuric acid mist) that causes poison mushrooms to grow. These mushrooms spread quickly and even grow on the bodies of the other monsters, sapping their energy.
Hedrium Ray
Like the standard Hedorah, Neo-Hedorah can shoot red energy beams from its eyes.
Energy Absorption
Neo-Hedorah can also absorb the energy of other monster's energy beam attacks such as Godzilla's atomic breath, leaving him unharmed.
Physical abilities
Neo-Hedorah also uses physical attacks against Godzilla, picking the monster king up and throwing him around.
Weaknesses
Neo-Hedorah and its mushrooms are vulnerable to extremely high temperatures of 100,000°C, allowing a combination of Fire Rodan's heat ray and Godzilla's atomic breath to burn it to death.
