Description Well here is Hedorah finally – I hope you like it. This is actually the fist daikaiju I penned for this series, but I colored Godzilla first. I was planning to do Rodan next but with Matt’s [link] contest I decided to do Xirugan next as it is my original Daikaiju.

Origin:
Hedorans are an ancient race of aliens that hail from some distant Galaxy or possibly a different universe. They send tiny “seeds” throughout the universe in search of planets that can be conquered and brought under their rule. When the “seeds” mature (about 60 meters) they make contact with the Hedoran Empire and send for reinforcements or teleport back home if the planet is unsuitable for conquest. The Hedorans are ruled by the Great Hedorah who is march larger and vastly more powerful than the typical Hedoran. It is not clear if the Great Hedorah is a unique individual or a title to be assumed. The first Hedoran landed on earth in 1971 and quickly grew in size. However, before it became large enough to communicate with the Hedoran Empire it was destroyed by Gojira Phase 1 and the UN Anti-Kaiju forces.

Attacks:
Teeth, claws, Acidic and poisonous miasma, highly corrosive/acidic slime/sludge, particle beam energy attacks, gravity “bombs” (Great Hedorah)

Defenses:
Regeneration, tough hide, gravity shields (Great Hedorah), plasma cloud (Great Hedorah)

Weaknesses:
Can not communicate with the Empire until they reach approx. 60m (long range telepathy ability), their slimy hide can become dry and thus brittle and more easily damaged, they prefer to rule by intimidation and mind control rather than brute force – they are not the physically strongest daikaiju.

Special Abilities:
Extreme ability to change shape, flight, teleport across space/time (see above), telepathy

Next: Xirugan

That is intentional; Cthulhu and Lovecraft's Outer Gods are one of the major inspirations for the redesign. Actually, the Cthulhu mythos in general plays a big part inmy ongoing redesign of the Godzilla Kaijuverse.

I really like this redesign. Looks very creepy and disgusting (in a good way). Nice job, dude.

Thanks, I'm just a sucker for stats and reference material. I'm still working out the more "artistic" parts of the timeline/storyline, but I think it is coming together.

That is the size of the Great Hedorah (I am not completely sure what that is yet). I am thinking about having one of my future Gojiras battle with that shambling horror!

Thank you - I didn't like Hedorah much until I start to think about its origin ina completely different way. Now, I like this beast quite a bit!

Awesome! You did Hedorah more than justice with the wonderful coloring job, and his origin is much more interesting (and beliveable) than the originals! Hedorah is actually frightning!

Thanks - I am a H.P. Lovecraft fan I was thinking of Hedorah as one of his Old Ones or Elder Gods or whatever - something between Cthulhu and a Shoggoth. And they were always more terrifying than the Smog Monster!
