Bio: Mothra’s role among the roster of Toho monsters is like that of a phoenix in that she is reborn as one previously laid larva when she falls in battle. Regarded as a divine kaiju, Mothra has the ability to communicate with other living being psychically, and resides on an island with little foliature life remaining after the atomic bombing of Japan, the residents of which worship and care for her as their Goddess. Mothra is arguably the first kaiju to defeat Godzilla in a battle.
