== Trivia ==
* I originally had Destroyah as the big bad on Destroy All Monsters before changing it to Mecha-King Ghidorah as it makes more sense if King Ghidorah, Godzilla's arch nemesis returns to end the Godzilla era
* Bagan and Dagahra were considered as the villain in Mothra II
* King Caesar was the main candidate as the Alpha of the Hollow Earth but since he's a Toho kaiju and King Kong is not, I scrapped him in favor of my own original character.
