Description (Thanks to for input on this storyline! Also, since Shiori's character is so much more interesting than, well, ANY of the others in the Mothra trilogy, I've made her into the main character...except, apparently, the internet has failed me and her last name does not exist...even in the actual film of Mothra 2! So I winged it and chose a generic Okinawan name.

Also, to clarify, yes, I've combined Garugaru with Death Ghidorah, since, in Neo, there's only one Ghidoran entity, and I wanted to make Garugaru relevant somehow)

Gigamass Lifeform
GARUGARU

HEIGHT:
1 foot (infant)

MASS:
1 lb (infant)

BIO:
After the tradgedy of the Elias people, MOTHRA and the Shobijin became the guardians of the planet, while BATTRA slept beneath the ice of the north. And all the while, Gigamass was though destroyed...
In 1996, pretty little Shiori Kaneshiro was spending the summer with her father in Hokkaido, away from the blazing summers of the otherwise beautiful Okinawa. She wasn't too thrilled either way...still, the forests of the north appealed to her, and she was still at home in the deep woods, picking flowers. It was small consolation from her fathers' construction company, which was keen on leveling the entire region, an unfortunate result of simply too many people and not enough space.
In the forest, one day, she came across something strange and bizarre...a small, furry creature who she plucked out of the bushes, mistaking him for a flower: the mysterious GHOGO! The small creature fled from her at first, but she coaxed to it and offered it solace.
Taking the creature to her father's house, she offered it food, and it grew accustomed to her. She admired the little gold jewelery on the creature's tail, including one with a strange cross-shaped design on it.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew her doors open, and when she rushed to close it, she turned around to find that a pair of tiny women were standing on the table: the Shobijin!
They had come to take Ghogo away and hide him on Infant Island, because of the powers he carried...but alas, someone else had found him already! Smashing through a window, another equally small woman appeared, clothed in black and flying atop a tiny winged lion. It was Belvera! Darkest of the faeries, she sought to restore the power of Gigamass with Ghogo as the final piece! After a pitched battle between the women and their steeds, FAIRY MOTHRA and BLACK KROIGA, Belvera managed to steal the seal from Ghogo's tail! She intended to revive the monster in the mountain at the construction site, GARUGARU!

Garugaru was the "Volcanic Gigamass," created by Gigamass's conciousness to burn the land clean. When Belvera used Shiori's father (via mind control) to detonate the cave beneath the mountain, she discovered an egg...and from it the tiny Garugaru?! Surely his power could be increased somehow...but burning trees and feeding off their life energy.

Even with Shiori's and the Shobijin's efforts, Garugaru absorbed enough power to become DEATH GARUGARU! Now Mothra had to be called in to battle...but how will she prevail?!

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:
Death Garugaru

The fan-fiction of C.L. Werner runs with that idea, and I have to agree.

Mecha-GREGOLE In reply to ??? [2009-07-11 13:44:13 +0000 UTC]

So, you're replacing Death Ghidorah with a supersized Garugaru?

Yeeaaahhhh.... I gotta say, I don't support that idea one bit. I mean, don't get me wrong, Gargaru was an adorable little guy.... but that's kinda why I like him where he is. He had a cute design, even if it wasn't a living chibi, and his name just felt small and cute.

I also liked Death Ghidorah as he was. He was huge, bulking and imposing, but he was also far more original than yet another dark-skinned dragon. He was also the closest thing we had to a canon sauropod monster.

I mean, do we really need another generic dragon monster as the big bad? Death Ghidorah was always more of a ghidorean monster than a dragon, which is why he worked.

And while this design is cute on its own, I don't have a lot of confidence in what the bigger, badder version is going to look like. Being a cute, evil mechanical dragon was Garugaru's thing. You take that away, you have an exceptionally generic dragon. And given that the original Death Ghidorah was genuinely an original creation, I cannot say that I support this change at all.

dude you are always criticising his work. just be happy with it and contribute possitive feedback. and dude garugaru and death ghidorah kind of did have a resemblence. think of it like godzilla. when we first saw godzilla jr he was cute right. but when he grew up he was bad mother... anyways when monsters grow up not all of them are cute.

Alright, I'm getting pretty damn sick of having to defend myself every time I have the AUDACITY to give Matt some genuinely honest critique, so rather than repeat the process, I'm just gonna skip to the end.

Kindly kiss my ass, then fuck off.

Mecha-GREGOLE In reply to Barugaron [2009-07-12 01:06:39 +0000 UTC]

Yes I DO have to get all nuts on you idiots. Because if I don't, you all just continually hound me and hound me and hound me for DARING not to fall in love with this man's work.

You think this is what he wants? You think he wants a legion of mindless, soulless, witless, will-less zombies who'll pounce at everyone who has even the slightest differing opinion? You think that as an artist, he's somehow pained by concepts like "constructive critique"? You think he wants to be alienated from every living being because everyone who doesn't worship the ground he walks on is torn apart by his zombie hordes?

Personally, I can name VERY few people who would like that, and even fewer who I would willingly associate with.

So again I say it: Kindly fuck off.

For the record, while I don't have the best history with critiques, Mecha-Gregole's do keep me on my toes.

He's right, a generic dragon kaiju, non-Ghidoran, may be a little boring...which is why I need to make it more interesting!
Sauropod kaiju FTW.

*LOL* now thats a plot alteration if I've ever seen one. I'll admit, Garugaru was just too cool to be just an generic midget steed. Being that there is only one true ghidorah in this time line, it would make sense that Garugaru and Death Ghidorah were combined into one awesome concept. Seeing how you've adapted his final form is going to be interesting. This gigamass adaption of yours is one of your better concepts for the series. Designwise the little guy is cute in a dangerously destructive looking sort of way, much like those WOW wyrmlings....is it just me or does Garugaru have Bagan style armor? Fascinating.
