— Footnote from Vivienne Graham's classified field notes on King Ghidorah.[1] |
The MonsterVerse King Ghidorah (キングギドラ Kingu Gidora) is an incarnation of King Ghidorah that first appeared in a cave painting in the post-credits scene for the 2017 Legendary Pictures film, Kong: Skull Island, and is set to make his debut in the upcoming 2019 film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
This will be the first incarnation of King Ghidorah to appear in an American-made film.
Name
King Ghidorah's name is composed of "King" (キング Kingu) and "Ghidorah." The "Ghidorah" part of King Ghidorah's name comes from the Japanese word for "hydra" (ヒドラ Hidora), which is spelled very similarly to the Japanese katakana for Ghidorah.
Design
This incarnation of King Ghidorah has only been depicted in cave paintings, but retains the classic silhouette of a tall bipedal upright dragon with three heads on long necks and two large wings at his sides. His heads all have at least two pointed horns, and appear to also possess long manes of hair that run down his necks. His necks appear longer and more snake-like that previous incarnations. In the second painting, King Ghidorah is shown spewing some kind of substance from his mouth, either flames or the character's traditional gravity beams.
Origins
This King Ghidorah's origins are currently unknown. Judging by his appearance in ancient cave paintings, he has appeared sometime in the past, and may have clashed with Godzilla. According to the official Monarch timeline, King Ghidorah was discovered buried under ice in Antarctica in 2016 by a Monarch team headed by Vivienne Graham.[1]
