- This article covers the Mothra that appeared in Godzilla and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth. The Mothra incarnations featured in IDW’s various other miniseries and media are not covered in this article.
Mothra is a giant monster who first appeared in IDW Publishing's comic book series Godzilla. The first incarnation of Mothra to be featured in an ongoing American comic book series, this Mothra was also featured in IDW's follow-up series, Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.
A giant divine Moth that suddenly made an appearance in 2013 above a highway along the coastline of California, Mothra persuaded Godzilla to cease pursuing a civilian family through unexplained non-verbal before suddenly flying away. Along with the Shobijin, Mothra attempted to inform humanity of an approaching extraterrestrial threat. When the threat, a group of extraterrestrial monster consisting of Gigan, Hedorah, SpaceGodzilla, and Monster X, Mothra traveled to New York City to face the last mentioned enemy.
Design
In Godzilla, Mothra’s design appears identical to that of the Heisei Mothra.
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Mothra’s design appears identical to that of the Mothra that appeared in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS.
Personality
Mothra is a very benevolent and caring being, devoting her existence to protecting her worshippers on Infant Island and standing up to global threats. She went out of her way to, alongside the Shobijin, warn humanity of an incoming threat from space, which consisted of four malevolent extraterrestrial monsters. Mothra is a protective mother towards her offspring. Mothra was the only kaiju in the continuity that Godzilla never displayed any aggression or malice towards as inferred by somehow non-verbally persuading him to cease chasing a civilian family in Godzilla.
