Desghidorah

## Summary

**Desghidorah** (**デスギドラ *Desugidora***) is a demonic three-headed dragon kaiju that first appeared in the 1996 Toho film, *Rebirth of Mothra*.

An evil three-headed space monster, Desghidorah reduced Mars to an uninhabitable wasteland millions of years ago before turning his attention to the neighboring planet Earth. The planet's natural guardians, a race of giant moths known as Mothra which defended the Elias civilization, managed to defeat Desghidorah and seal him away. However, in the present day a company accidentally awakened Desghidorah from his tomb while clearing a forest. The space monster resumed its reign of terror, attempting to wipe out all life on the planet, but was confronted by the last remaining Mothra. The two ancient enemies battled, but the elderly Mothra was outmatched. However, her newborn son Mothra Leo hatched prematurely and joined his mother in the battle. Mothra used the last of her strength to carry Leo to safety after Desghidorah destroyed a dam, then subsequently drowned. In order to avenge his mother, Leo matured into his imago stage and confronted Desghidorah once more, finally managing to defeat him and seal him back into his tomb. While Desghidorah was stopped, Mothra Leo would be confronted by another, more powerful member of the Ghidorah species two years later: the dreaded King Ghidorah.

## Arsenal

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Thermal Beams**: Desghidorah is able to spit a concentrated 'pyro-beam' of magma energy from each of its three heads, called the **Pyroclastic Shot** (**火砕流撃弾 *Kasairyū Gekidan***). This ability can be used in both Desghidorah's land and final forms, however it becomes over five times as powerful in the latter. If all three of Desghidorah's heads fire the Pyroclastic Shot beams in unison, the attack is instead referred to as either the **Triple Vortex Attack Cannon** (**三重渦撃砲 *Mie Uzu Gekihō***) or just **Triple Vortex Attack** (**三重渦撃 *Mie Uzu Geki***). An even more powerful form of the Pyroclastic Shot, known as the **Flaming Dragon Whirlwind Attack Wave** (**炎龍旋風撃波 *Honō Ryū Senpūgeki-ha***) can be achieved if the speed and rotation of the Triple Vortex Attack is increased. Desghidorah can also spit a powerful red hot flame from its mouth(s), known as the **Fire Dragon Heavy Attack Wave** (**火龍重撃波 *Hi Ryū Jū Dan Nami***). This attack is potent enough to instantly set the environment around it ablaze, annihilating any plants or animals in the vicinity.

* **Strong Violent Advancing Thunder Quake**: In a technique dubbed the **Strong Violent Advancing Thunder Quake** (**剛烈駆雷震 *Tsuyoshi Retsu Ka Kaminari Furue***), Desghidorah can create fissures in the earth which gush magma while firing the Fire Dragon Heavy Attack Wave, resulting in the pulverization of its opponents. Desghidorah has the ability to manipulate the magma which erupts from these fissures.
* **Sky Anger Bomb Thrust**: Desghidorah, after accumulating internal magma energy, can perform a powerful technique called the **Raging Sky Burst** (**天怒爆突 *Tennu Bakutotsu***), which entails drawing an enemy close before blowing it back with an explosion.
* **Electrical Surge**: Desghidorah is able to send surges of electricity through its enemies upon biting them.
* **Hurricane Winds**: Desghidorah can create hurricane-strength winds from its wings.
* **Thunder Cannon Flash**: Desghidorah can protect itself in a barrier of thermal energy, called the **Thunder Cannon Flash** (**轟砲一閃 *Gōhō Issen***).
