Rodan is a giant monster that appears in IDW Publishing's 2016 comic book series, Godzilla in Hell. Rodan was an enemy from Godzilla's past who would eventually reacquaint with the Monster King and engage in battle in Hell itself, only to be swiftly and brutally defeated.
Name
Rodan's Japanese name, Radon, is a truncation of "Pteranodon." It may also have been chosen to suggest radiation. The name was changed to "Rodan" in English-speaking markets, possibly to avoid confusion with the element Radon. Toho eventually trademarked the name "Rodan," making it the monster's official English name.
Design
Rodan's design in the comic is identical to his showa design, albeit with the colors of the original. The one trait unique to this design is his glowing, fire-colored, pupil-less eyes that emphasize his demonic nature in Hell.
Origins
Rodan's origins in Godzilla in Hell are unknown aside from being an inhabitant of Hell who had once fought Godzilla in Life, eventually being for unknown reasons prior to the events of the comic. When Godzilla entered a particular place of existence within Hell, Rodan became the first in a line of Godzilla's enemies to reengage in battle with Godzilla before being ultimately defeated.
Personality
Rodan shows no character traits or personality other than being another old enemy of Godzilla's that faces the Monster King in Hell.
