Description (Ah, one of my personal favorites. Channeled some manta ray body structure with some of the concept art for “Dagahra”

DAGARLA

Height (at shoulder): 30 meters
Length: 150 meters
Mass: 40,000 metric tons

Bio:
To say that DAGARLA (sometimes called "Dagarha") is a living weapon would be like calling Godzilla "a big lizard." Single-minded and ferocious by nature, Dagarla attacks and destroys without mercy, and all that intimidating jargon than follows the wake of the deadly sea monster. Yet where did such a monstrousity come from? It can't be natural, and it's too perfect a destroyer to be a simple mutation...

As expected, Dagarla is a creation of Gigamass, made to purge the world’s oceans. When Shiori went back home to her native Okinawa for the summer, she didn’t expect the curse of the living bio-tech to follow her even there. The tides around the island were turning red with BAREM, small starfish mutations made by Dagarla himself to assimilate raw biomass for the monster’s energy supply. Ghogo’s bodily fluids fought off the ill effects of the Barems’ venom, but the only way to get rid of Dagarla was to try and find some old Elias tech.
Shiori and a pair of dorks from her summer school classes soon found themselves deep in an ancient Elias-made temple, long hidden beneath the waves, thanks to Belvera’s meddling. Meanwhile, Mothra arrived to battle Dagarla, but the sea monster proved itself nigh-untouchable while under water, and Mothra soon found herself being dragged beneath the waves to share her mother’s fate…until BATTRA intervened! The armored insect was more than capable of fighting undersea while Mothra climbed the tower to try and heal her Barem-covered body.

Deep within the structure, the kids found a holographic download of one of the Elias's chief scientists. She gave them a strange new object, the "Orb of Love." She revealed to them that the Seal of Faith, bound to Ghogo's tail, was one of the tools used to seal Gigamass. The Orb was the second, but it was no longer safe with her now that Gigamass has targeted the tower. So, she gave it to Shiori.

It wasn’t until Ghogo’s power was finally unlocked that the little piece of Gigamass, intended to be a failsafe should the power ever go out-of-control, sacrificed its energy to rid Mothra of the Barem infection.

Mothra and Battra lead a combined elemental assault on Dagarla and destroyed the monster. But with Ghogo gone and the Gigamass core still hidden somewhere, how could Mothra hope to erase this menace?

Abilties/Aspects:
- Able to produce Barem, who, in turn, collect organic matter, with which to produce more Barem.
- Can fire Irabushan beam from mouth
- Limited flight
- Able to create waterspouts (giant water tornados)
- Can swim in excess of 50 knots
- Shoulder cannons can fire concentrated Barems and toxins to attack foes

My thoughts are largely the same. You took a very busy, awkward design and streamlined it into something visually interesting and cool. I especially love that face. The colors, the dynamism, the expression... really make me want a summery T-shirt with this image on it, and some goofy catch-phrase like "Catch a MONSTER wave" or "Surf's up at Nilai Kanai!"

BritishGoji [2015-12-02 17:15:21 +0000 UTC]

This Monster is one of my favourite kaiju ive ever seen, his design is so different, it's like a hybrid combination of a manta ray and dragon and it was a cool combination and it worked perfectly. The monsters origin was a really cool idea and it has the anti-pollution message with it. I think this monster would be great as a partner to Desghidorah  because they are both dragons and they both prove as a dangerous threat to flying monsters like Mothra .

His abilities are very interesting like his shoulder cannons because they're hasn't been a kaiju that has had actual cannons on their body, his Barem  that he secretes was a really cool feature for this monster to have aswell, and his most powerful ability which is to create a barem cyclone tornado form underwater to cover his enemies with the barem creatures.

Overall, this monster is one of my favourite Toho Kaiju, he's such a badass

Though Rebirth 2 is my least favorite of the Mothra films, I will commend the movie for Dagarla, who is a pretty interesting monster.

Yes, Dargala would be useful... If he wasn't a giant Living-Weapon Kaiju that has cannons in his shoulders and produces venomous Barem starfishes as he eats pollution

In some ways Dagarla is like headorah if you think about it from what the movie explains Dagarla is like headorah but not made out of sludge.

KaijuDuke [2010-12-05 03:39:02 +0000 UTC]

Dude, another great redesign on one of the Mothra trilogy baddies! Dagarla certainly looks more streamlined and meancing than before, like the manta ray type shape and reptilian face, not to mention the somewhat jet engine like shoulder cannons (basically ya can tell this kaiju is built for aerial and aquatic combat).

project: APOCALYPSE

Title: Kaiju WAR

release date: 9/20/09

short summary:
G-force has finally done it! They created a capsule that releases a gas that kills mbase and g-cells! But unfortunatly the gas is extremely unstable, if it doesnt kill a monster it does exactly the opposite! It mutates them into a new breed of Kaiju!


this will be a weekly online comic.
