Description (First, I remember the rumors from 1996 on Mark's Godzilla Page...or somewhere else...that Death Ghidorah was going to have a skeletal motif.
Secondly, SOMEONE on this site, you know who you are, noted that DG was "the closest thing we've had to a sauropod," so I ran with it )

Living Volcano
DEATH GARUGARU

HEIGHT:
70 meters at the head

MASS:
27,000 metric tons

BIO:
The savage DEATH GARUGARU had proven too much for both the aging MOTHRA and the single Mothra larvae, the mother kaiju drowning while her infant watched helplessly...
Now that there was but one Mothra, she was compelled to complete the cycle and continue the fight; she went to the Tree of Life, a massive entity perhaps older that GIGAMOTH, and she cocooned herself about the tree, drawing strength from the Earth itself...

When Mothra was reborn, she looked more or less as she always did, but her eyes had a mystical green glow in place of the usual blue...

Meanwhile, Death Garugaru rampaged about the countryside, absorbing more and more energy from the forests, and soon he would be powerful enough to set all of Japan ablaze. Suddenly, Mothra appeared in the skies, shrieking her battle cry. Garugaru, his eyes hot with the single-minded malice of Gigamass, took to the air as though he were swimming, his bizarre wings creating a wave which propelled him at his foe.

The new, supercharged Mothra used every trick she had, and a few more; utilizing a new power that the Earth had given her, she commanded the elements to assault Garugaru! A great storm appeared and blasted him to the Earth, where huge roots lashed out and bound him to the planet's embrace, where his own magma-powers turned against him, and the ground erupted and exploded!

Mothra then performed a final sealing spell, successfully destroying this piece of Gigamass.

ABILTIES/ASPECTS:
- Flight
- Able to absorb energy of dieing plants
- Spits magma-like blasts from mouth
- Can control magma beneath the Earth and cause explosive shockwaves

UP NEXT:
Fairy Mothra

(ps - "Desghidorah" is a retarded name)

Not a huge fan of how the wings looked, but I still liked the design overall.

And yeah, the name Desghidorah is kinda dumb.

Don't hate me for this Matt but I like Desghidorah's name and original design. I mean this is great but I had no idea this was supposed to be a Ghidorah incarnation. In my opinion, you should have added two more heads to prove this is a Ghidorah.

But in this version it's NOT a Ghidorah. he said that on the normal Garugaru page.

I remember the drama this one caused... but I think the end result is still pretty rad. The sauropod shape is strong, but it's also very distinct, with the shrimp tail and the fins. Very much a true kaiju, and a fitting replacement for Desghidorah.

Hey Matt Frank, I don't want to sound too demanding but I would like to have a birthday present of a drawing of either an actual Death Ghidorah or Grand King Ghidorah Neo Style, or if you want to do something different perhaps Ultraman Zero and Belial, that would be a great Birthday Gift from my favorite Godzilla Artist

no don't do that it's just Fin like wings kind make more sense on a aquatic dragon rather then a flying one.

King Ghidorah had fin like wings for quite a while, and in many video games, and it could fly just fine. All dragons (except the bird-winged ones) have fin-like wings, they just add joints, albeit making it bat wings but still. Even sea dragons can have bat wings, which make them look more like flying dragons. SOME DRAGONS DON'T EVEN NEED WINGS TO FLY! AND SOME HAVE WINGS AND CAN'T FLY!

Not really, bat wings are basically webbed hands, finlike wings are webbed protrusions from the back or side.

If you have seen King Ghidorah's wings in Godzilla; Save the Earth, they do not resemble any form of bat wing, nor do any other Ghidorah wing from the movies except for one? They all look like massive fins.

I doubt they'd win for a number of reasons least of which is that this is clearly labelled as a design interpretation of A Toho Monster.

I like that Matt backed away from the over use of Ghidoran appearance. I personally hate the bastardization of King Ghidorah in several of Toho's films, because he was there simply for marquee value.

I don't mean to break it to you, but GMK is a prime example of this. It molests the continuity of every monster (other than Godzilla) in that film, especially King Ghidorah.Β

The reason why they called him "DesGhidorah" is solely due to incompetent romanization.

The English dubbers were just to stupid to solve the puzzle. The same thing happened to "Birth Island".

On another note, this picture is beautiful. Though the fact that the coolest-looking monsters are always villains depresses me somewhat.
