The Stranger is an alien dragon who appeared in the 16th issue of Dark Horse's Godzilla comic series.
While dreaming, Godzilla inexplicably found himself millions of years in the past and encountered the alien invader attacking dinosaurs. The two behemoths battled as an asteroid struck the Earth, with the shockwave bringing an unceremonious end to the brawl.
Design
The Stranger resembles a dragon with four arms. The Stranger has red scales and its wings are a fleshy pink in color. It also has a row of horns running down its back.
Origins
The Stranger is a space monster who arrived on Earth millions of years in the past.
History
- Godzilla #16 (1996)
Godzilla
"Thunder in the Past"
After sleeping for some time below the Earth's crust, Godzilla dug himself to the surface to find himself enigmatically in the time of the dinosaurs. However, the King of the Monsters was not the only visitor to this place. A horrific alien creature simply known as "the Stranger" was also in the area, possibly looking for food. After attacking a nearby Triceratops, the Stranger noticed Godzilla. Realizing that Godzilla was the challenge it was looking for, the Stranger attacked the kaiju. While the two monsters grappled with one another, they failed to notice a large asteroid streaking towards them.
Eventually the asteroid struck the ground; the Stranger attempted to flee the destruction wrought by the asteroid's impact, having the tip of its tail torn off by Godzilla in the process. However, the beast was unable to escape the shockwave of the asteroid in time and was incinerated during its escape attempt. Godzilla was spared from the same fate after falling into a chasm that split open beneath his feet, falling unconscious as he fell downward.
When Godzilla awoke, he once again found himself in his proper time period. At first it seemed the entire battle with the Stranger was simply a dream, until Godzilla looked downward and saw he was still clutching the severed tip of the Stranger's tail.
