This series honors one of my favorite movie series of all time, the GODZILLA movies.
King Ghidorah (Kingu Gidora) (sometimes spelled King Ghidrah, King Ghidra or King Ghidora) and also known as Monster Zero, is a fictional Japanese monster (an alien three-headed dragon with large wings instead of arms and two tails) featured in several of Toho Studios' Godzilla films.
APPEARANCES
Showa era:
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964): The monster travels to Earth in a magnetic meteorite, and devastates Japan until repelled by Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra.
Invasion of the Astro-Monster (1965): Ghidorah is now the mind-controlled pawn of aliens from "Planet X", and refer to Ghidorah as "Monster Zero". The "Xians" covet Earth's water resources and also take control of Godzilla and Rodan in an attempt to conquer the planet. When Earth forces free Godzilla and Rodan, the pair drive Ghidorah off into space.
Destroy All Monsters (1968): Set in the future, Ghidorah is again controlled by aliens, this time the Kilaaks. The monster is eventually killed by Godzilla and several other monsters.
Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972): Set in the present day, Ghidorah teams with fellow monster Gigan until both are driven away by Godzilla and Anguirus.
Heisei series:
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991): Time-travelers from the 23rd century (called "Futurians") travel to the past to release three genetically-engineered creatures called "Dorats" at the location at which a Godzillasaurus was to be exposed to radiation and become Godzilla. The irradiated Dorats subsequently fuse into King Ghidorah, which the Futurians then use to devastate present-day Japan. Godzilla eventually battles and cripples Ghidorah, with the wounded monster falling into the ocean.
The Futurians, however, locate Ghidorah in the future, and using advanced technology create the cyborg "Mecha-King Ghidorah". The monster battles Godzilla to a standstill, before both disappear into the ocean.
Millennium series:
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001): Godzilla again attacks Japan and is repelled by the combined might of the guardian monsters (Baragon, Mothra, and Ghidorah) and the Japan Self-Defense Forces.
ABILITIES
King Ghidorah possesses strength and durability commensurate with the creature's size. Ghidorah is also capable of flight, with the creature's wings generating hurricane strength winds. The creature also possesses several breath weapons (e.g heat and energy).
