Description
(more on the insectoid side....kinda' a celebration of Godzilla: UnleashedGoddess of Peace
MOTHRA
Body Length: 35 meters
Wingspan: 110 meters
Mass: 15,000 metric tons
Type 2 - Warrior Class
Bio:
MOTHRA is considered by many to be just another kaiju, marked for either destruction or capture, but an equal amount see the giant insect as something much, MUCH more...
She is renowned as being something of a benevolent creature, as 1961 could be considered the first and only time Mothra made an all-out, aggressive march across Japan, cocooning herself on Tokyo Tower and transforming from Larval stage to Imago stage, where those on the ground described her rebirth as "like some otherworldly angel rising above we shameful creatures". Other times, Mothra has appeared to fend off more violent kaiju, not the least of which being Godzilla himself.
Interestingly, Mothra seems to have taken a particular interest in the mutant dinosaur, and one would even go so far as to say she sees a sense of responsibility for the monster, as the Shobijin once implied.
Mothra is obviously more intelligent than most kaiju, to which no human can comprehend. The Shobijin, who have become something between celebrities and diplomats, state that "Mothra is as old as rock and as young as flowers, and her wisdom knows no bounds." What this means exactly is debatable.
Mothra has been revered as nothing less than "The Goddess of Peace," and after her appearence, a group of both Rolisicans and Japanese gathered and established the "Children of Mothra" in 1966. Since then, it has been declared an official religion in Japan, England, Australia, France, California and New York, and severely illegal in most of the United States and the Middle East.
Mothra is the Yin to the Yang of the dreaded Battra.
Abilites/Aspects (larvae):
- Web-like silk used as both a cocoon and as a deterrent for enemies
- Surprisingly durable, can withstand some conventional weaponry
- Poisonous gas emitted from glands under body, can cause even Godzilla to become dizzy
Abilities/Aspects (imago):
- Collosal wing span creates gale-force winds
- Can fire concentrated bursts of energy from antennae
- Most abilites are defensive, such as reflective scales which can bounce back even Godzilla's heat ray
- Can spread a calming mist/powder that can both heal and pacify
NOTE: Mothra is EXTREMELY protective of the Shobijin. After the 1961 Incident, she has created "Fairy Mothra" to be the Shobijin's personal body-guard as they travel the world.

I think the reason Mothra feels responsible for Godzilla is because our favorite bug feels responsible for the King's more destructive tendencies. Either that or..oh god, interspecies! Get the images out of my head, get them out of my -

The hybrid works well here, in fact, there is not one thing about this you can hate. (Boy, am I glad tennis ball mothra from Heisei was not a heavy influence here. I still laugh every time I see that.)

Great drawings as usual. Assuming that the length is the adult Mothra's, I wonder what's the length of the larval form. By the way the wingspan seems ridiculosly big compared to the length and seems inconsistent with the drawing.

I do like this design. A good mixed of the original Showa Mothra with a good mixed of GMK and Heisei combined.

I always thought she was incredibly cute, in either form. You just want to hug her...you know, if she wasn't 100 times bigger than people.
Btw, I could've sworn it was said Mothra was male in Larval form and became female in Adult form...

hewhowalksdeath In reply to Stranger-D-Eternal [2008-11-25 11:44:56 +0000 UTC]
Shobijins are Mothra's fairy priestesses. Wherever Mothra is in a film (Save Godzilla, Mothra King Ghidorah: All monsters Attack), The Shobijins are always present.
Fairy Mothra are smaller versions of Mothra, apearing in Rebirth of Mothra.

oh after Godzilla annihilated mech-G, he turns to the now headached Titanosaurus (due to supersonic waves*) G blasts him the way up and it looks like he got his insides toasted.

Great picture, though the fact that the U.S. outlaws it the religion is against the constitution, and the fact that it is outlawed yet openly done in Newyork is a contradiction. just nitpicking

She's gorgeous in her adult form and cute in her larvae. This is a perfect remake of Mothra.

I don't know why, but for some reason I found a sort of cuteness to her larvae form! Still pretty cool in adult form too!
