King Ghidorah (The Monster King Universe)

* Mecha
* Natural

King Ghidorah, also known as Mecha-King Ghidorah, or simply just Ghidorah, is one of the main antagonists of the Monster King series, along with the Xiliens. Ghidorah was originally a normal egg, but was knocked into a cave filled with tenebris navitas, an energy substance for Ghidorahs. King Ghidorah would kill his species and leave his universe, repeating a cycle for millions of years. Ghidorah eventually arrived in the Monster King Universe and fought against the Divine Moths, killing all but Mothra. Ghidorah would be sealed away until 1964, where he would break out of his prison and attack Earth, killing Mothra. However, with the help of Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and all of the Hollow Earth kaiju to kill Ghidorah. However, the middle head, Kami, ripped of the left head, allowing them to possibly regenerate. Ghidorahs head would float around for a bit until he would regenerate and be rebuilt into Mecha-King Ghidorah, who would team up with other evil beings like the Xiliens, and alternate universe kaiju.

## Name

King Ghidorah is a double name, being both king, showing the dominance and power of Ghidorah, and Ghidorah, which is similar to the Japanese word for hydra. Mecha-King Ghidorah adds mecha in front of Ghidorah's name, showing the cybernetic upgrades.

Each of Ghidorah's heads are named. The middle head is named Kami, meaning God in Japanese. The right head is Aku, meaning evil in Japanese. Finally, the left head is named Kimyōna, meaning curious.

## Design

### Natural

King Ghidorah's design was heavily influenced by the MonsterVerse depiction of King Ghidorah, mainly in the necks. However, the actual heads are completely new, and though they look similar, each head has something that differentiates them. Aku's tendrils on its bottom jaw are torn apart and has a boxy head, showing his aggressiveness. Kami has a mix of the rounded and boxy head. Kimyōna is the most rounded head of them all. All three heads have a moon crest and pupiless eyes. Ghidorah's body in general is much more slender than previous incarnations, with comparatively shorter necks. He spends most of his time crouched down on his wings and only stands to his full height when fighting kaiju thought are roughly his size when quadrupedal.

### Mechanical

Ghidorah's mechanical design is modeled after both the Monster King Ghidorah, which is obvious, as well as the Monster King Mechagodzilla. The reason for this was because of Mecha-King Ghidorah's origins, as he is built from the remains of Mechagodzilla. Mecha-King Ghidorah is notably bulkier than his natural self, with more tradition, Heisei-style wings compared to the more MonsterVerse looking natural Ghidorah. Kimyōna is the only natural head, however, his is much more sinister looking, due to his new personality change. Kami and Aku are mechanical. Kami heavily resembles the Xilien's Mechagodzilla, even having a similar jaw style, however, the head was made to look more similar to Ghidorah. Kami only has two horns on the side of his head now and has more horns on the top of his head. These horns, instead of being made entirely metal, are actually missiles. Aku looks more unique, with a shorter snout and a wider jaw compared to Kami. The tips of Ghidorah's wings were replaced with missiles and has their body with places storing their capture cables. Ghidorah's tails are also mechanically enhanced and has grapples that can be electrified.

## Personality

Ghidorah's personality changes from when he was natural to being mechanised. When in his natural state, the heads are much more unique in terms of their personalities, resembling the MonsterVerse incarnation. Kami is the alpha head and obviously the one in charge. Kami has a sadistic sense to him, dragging out all of his kills, shown with his father and Mothra. Aku is the most aggressive and will kill at any order that Kami gives him. Kimyōna, while still being quite sadistic, is extremely curious, and clearly the runt of the group. However, all of these unique personalities dull down when Ghidorah gets mechanised. Kami, Aku and Kimyōna become extremely similar to how Kami was originally. This was due to being killed and wanting vengeance. The heads, due to their new tech that they were given, are now each much more intelligent. They are also more prone to retreating now as they are much more aware of their mortality after being killed in 1964, explaining their behavior in both Godzilla Reawoken and Godzilla: Cross Dimensions. The heads are also much more coordinated and a more effective team. They are also able to coordinate with other forces like the Xiliens and Grand Ghidorah when it benifits them, compared to their natural form when they were lone hunters and pretty uncoordinated in all honesty.

## Origins

When Ghidorah was in his egg, Ghidorah was knocked into a cave full of tenebris navitas, the power source of the Ghidorah. King Ghidorah absorbed all of the tenebris navitas and became the most powerful Ghidorah

## History

### War of the Ghidorahs

Ghidorah in his egg had absorbed all of the tenebris navitas, making him extraordinarily powerful. Even as a baby, he was able to kill adult Ghidorahs, accidentally killing his mother. Because of his father rejecting him, and the tenebris navitas in his blood, Ghidorah became hyper aggressive and killed every single Ghidorah. After killing the last Ghidorah, his father, King Ghidorah left his universe and traveled to others to kill all Ghidorahs.

### Godzilla: The Monster King

During Ghidorah's adventure, flying through several universes, Ghidorah discovered the Monster King Universe. Though there were no Ghidorahs, he found Divine Moths. Ghidorah killed these Divine Moths, all but one. Some of the Divine Moths sacrificed themselves, using their energy to trap Ghidorah in a meteor called Gorath. The last surviving Divine Moth, Mothra, then sent Gorath to forever orbit Pluto. The Shobijin then recounted the story of Ghidorah to Godzilla.

After the Shobijin told Godzilla about Ghidorah's story, electric sparks started emitting off of the meteor as Gorath started glowing yellow. Gorath then stopped circling Pluto and started heading for Earth. As Godzilla was lying on Odo Island and remembering his childhood memories, Gorath was extremely close to hitting Earth. Godzilla fired his Atomic Breath at the meteor, instantly destroying Gorath. Godzilla swam into the ocean as a large fireball emerged from the meteor and destroyed all the life and land on Odo Island. The fireball then left to go attack Tokyo. The fireball was constantly getting shot at by the military. The fireball went down into the ground and then materialized into King Ghidorah. Ghidorah summoned multiple tornadoes and then a tsunami, destroying the city of Tokyo. Ghidorah then flew off.

King Ghidorah flew into another city, with Kami and Aku roaring to the sky. Mothra heard these roars and charged towards Ghidorah using her above lightspeed attack. However, King Ghidorah dodged this attack and Aku bit down on Mothra's neck. Kami, just after roaring at Kimyōna due to the left head's general incompetence, approached Mothra, taunting the Divine Moth about the others of her species. Kami then commanded Aku to throw Mothra into the sky, which he did. Kami then blasted Mothra into the atmosphere using his Gravity Beam, destroying the Divine Moth. Kami and Aku then roared in victory, with Kami laughing.

King Ghidorah flew towards and destroyed Mount Fuji before flying towards Hawaii. Ghidorah landed and blasted everything in site. Nothing hurt Ghidorah and Kami roared to the sky. However, he was not content and started looking around, as he felt a monster in the area. Kami was right, as Rodan shot a massive fireball at King Ghidorah. However, the devil with three heads was barley effected. Rodan and King Ghidorah got into a brief fight, but Ghidorah whipped the floor with Rodan, smashing him into the ground and stepping on him. Aku prepared to fire a Gravity Beam, but the Mothra larva shot her silk at Aku, trapping him. However, Aku fired his Gravity Beam near Mothra, sending her flying, even without hitting her.

Ghidorah pinned the two monsters, but Godzilla came out of nowhere and started throwing Ghidorah around. Godzilla roared to the sky, but Ghidorah shot a large lightning beam from the sky. Ghidorah then stood up, now bipedal. Godzilla and King Ghidorah continued their fight, however, Godzilla was hit to the atmosphere and smashed into the ground by King Ghidorah. Ghidorah walked away, but Godzilla still got up. Kami saw this and started beating up on Godzilla even more. Ghidorah then pinned Godzilla and Kami started laughing exactly like a human. However, all the monsters from the Hollow Earth started fighting against Ghidorah, still loosing. King Ghidorah nearly killed Gorosaurus, but was tackled into the water by Godzilla. Even though they were in Godzilla's home ground, Ghidorah was still taking the advantage. As the two were fighting in Tokyo bay, Godzilla noticed his healed father. Ghidorah saw this, knocked Godzilla over and stomped on the ground, causing a large amount of energy and killing Godzilla's father.

Godzilla blasted King Ghidorah all the way from Tokyo bay to Hawaii. Ghidorah stood back up, but was blasted by Godzilla Spiral Ray. Ghidorah briefly overpowered Godzilla, but Rodan, Mothra, Gorosaurus and Manda distracted King Ghidorah. Godzilla charged up another Spiral Ray to the point where his spines started glowing red and orange. Godzilla threw King Ghidorah into the atmosphere and fired his Red Spiral Ray. The beam hit King Ghidorah, who was pushed through the moon. Kimyōna started panicking and Kami, in an angry response, ripped off Kimyōna's head and threw him away. However, the Red Spiral Ray blew King Ghidorah apart.

### Constructing a Mechagodzilla

The Xiliens were able to find Kimyōna's head the Kami ripped off in the hopes that they would be able to regenerate, but due to the environment they were in, AKA, space, they weren't able to regenerate, however, the Xiliens found Ghidorah's head and constructed it into Mechagodzilla.

### Godzilla: The False King

In the end credit scene, King Ghidorah's left head Kimyōna is found to be inside Mechagodzilla's body, helping control the mech.

### Godzilla Reawoken

G-Force was able to get their hands on Kimyōna's head, and with the Shobijin's permission, were able to build a mech around the regenerating head, turning Ghidorah into Mecha-King Ghidorah. When Mecha-King Ghidorah was activated for the first time, Kimyōna was awoken. G-Force tried to get the two mechanical heads to get rid of Kimyōna, but before they could do anything, the two mechanical heads shut down. The spirits of Kami and Aku then possessed their two respective heads. Mecha-King Ghidorah broke out of the G-Force facility located in Antarctica and began working out the new body and tech they were in. As Ghidorah was distracted, G-Force's other mech, Mech-G, tackled Ghidorah to the ground. The two faced off against each other, but Ghidorah, even though they were confused, were able to beat Mech-G. Before they could destroy Mech-G, the mechanical beast powered off. Mecha-King Ghidorah then received a signal and flew off.

After only a couple minutes, Ghidorah arrived at Pluto where the Xilien ship was. Ghidorah confronted the Xilien leader. While Aku and Kimyōna wanted to exterminate of the Xiliens, Kami decided to communicate with Xilien leader, X. The two began discussing plans of killing Godzilla, with X explaining he sent the signal through Mechagodzilla's tech. The two came to a middle ground and decided to team up, with X saying that Mecha-King Ghidorah could lead the cloned Ghidorahs that the Xiliens had created. Mecha-King Ghidorah would lead an invasion to the Hollow Earth and take on Godzilla once again. Their battle was much closer this time, due to Mecha-King Ghidorah being weaker than the original, but after a long struggle, Ghidorah eventually overpowered Godzilla, beating him so hard to the point he knocked out Godzilla. Mecha-King Ghidorah then activated his capture cables and took Godzilla back to the Xilien ship, dropping off Godzilla into the battlefield where he would fight the Haiburiddo Ghidorah, however, Mothra and Rodan retrieved Godzilla. Ghidorah, angered, traveled back to Earth and took on Godzilla and the rest of the Hollow Earth kaiju. After Godzilla was able to draw blood from Ghidorah, the cyborg decided to retreat. The combination of Godzilla and Ghidorah's blood would create Biollante.

As Biollante battled a tired Godzilla, Mecha-King Ghidorah and X watched the battle from afar. Ghidorah decided that Biollante needed to be exterminated, due to her killing invading cloned Ghidorahs. Mecha-King Ghidorah traveled to Earth and fought Biollante alongside Godzilla. With the combined force of Mecha-King Ghidorah and Godzilla, the two were able to kill Biollante, with most of Biollante's parts being splattered into space. Ghidorah's tech had been badly damaged throughout the fights with Godzilla and now Biollante, and decided to retreat for repairs.

### Godzilla: Cross Dimensions

During Grand Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla Z's trip across the multiverse, X picked up on their signal. King Ghidorah would be informed of the two arriving. Ghidorah decided to fly to where the action was going on, firing a couple wing missiles at the Monster King and KN Godzillas before confronting both Grand Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla Z. Mecha-King Ghidorah decided to ally with the villainous monsters, and took on the two Godzillas. The evil monsters began to win, with Mecha-King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla Z watching Grand Ghidorah beating the two Godzillas. As they watched, the Monster King Gotengo joined the fight. The kaiju and military continued battling, with the fight being so devastating that it created several portals to the same universe, including Mecha-King Ghidorah.

Mecha-King Ghidorah, with Mechagodzilla Z's help, stood back up and looked around his new universe with the other evil monsters. As they looked around, they encountered the Rtas Rodan. Mecha-King Ghidorah would grab Rodan with his capture cables and knocked out Rodan, nearly killing him in the process. Kami's mechanical head was prepared to decapitate Rodan, but Grand Ghidorah stopped him from doing so. Later, Grand Ghidorah would summon Mecha-King Ghidorah, along with Mechagodzilla Z and Crain, to a mountainside. After Grand Ghidorah told Mecha-King Ghidorah the plan, Mecha-King Ghidorah took off, beginning a campaign of destruction.

Later on, Mecha-King Ghidorah would follow Grand Ghidorah's army before holding military units off alongside Mechagodzilla Z, before battling the Rtas Gigan with Mechagodzilla Z, however, the Monster King Godzilla fired a Nuclear Pulse, knocking back both Ghidorah and Crain, agreeing with Crain's notion of hating the Godzillas. Mecha-King Ghidorah then faced off against the Monster King Godzilla, beginning to torture Godzilla while laughing. Ghidorah and Crain eventually defeated the Monster King and KN Godzilla. Ghidorah nearly executed the two Godzilla's, however, he would be interrupted by the Gotengo's missiles. Once Crain retreated, Ghidorah grabbed the two Godzilla's with his tail, throwing them at the Gotengo. Unfortunately for Ghidorah, the Monster King and KN Godzilla, along with two of the sons of Rtas' Godzilla began teaming on Ghidorah, damaging him and causing Ghidorah to fall to the ground, defeated.

As the Godzillas walked off, Mecha-King Ghidorah stood up, as he had played dead to not be killed. Ghidorah would retreat, watching the fight. Once the battle was over, Ghidorah waited for everyone to leave, deciding to scan Gigan out of curiosity. Once everyone had left, Ghidorah absorbed the energy of Grand Ghidorah, transporting back to his universe.
