### Sound Effect(s)

Example

King **Ghidorah**, also dubbed "**Titanus Ghidorah**", is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *HCoW's* *Verse Hunter* series created by Matt Allsopp and Paul Anderson. He was a giant dragon titan/alien hybrid in otherworldly.

Created as a tricephalic lifeform by an alien race which was known as "**Monster 0**", he clashed with a rival apex predator and Mothra in the Earth's ancient past, who succeeded in sealing him away deep beneath the glacier in Antarctica.

Monarch discovered Ghidorah's dormancy in the present day, and established Outpost 32 to study him. In 2019, Alan, who working alongside Emma, freed Ghidorah in an attempt to release all of the Titans to restore the natural order.

Being an invasive species, he was incompatible with Earth's established natural order and had no interest in restoring balance. Proving impossible to control with the ORCA, Ghidorah resumed where he left off many years ago.

After usurping Godzilla's dominance by military interference, Ghidorah spontaneously woke all of the other Titans himself and commanding them to begin destroying humanity, the ecosystems, and bend them to his masters will.

Ghidorah managed to cause worldwide destruction and loss of life before the assistance by Monarch, U.S. military, and the Russell family, Godzilla and Mothra joined forces and engaged Ghidorah in Boston for one final confrontation.

Ghidorah summoned Rodan to his aid to deal with Mothra, while he fought Godzilla in one-on-one combat. After defeating Rodan, Mothra sacrificed her life to give Godzilla the power to defeat and destroy Ghidorah once and for all.

Following Ghidorah's apparent demise, Elsie helped Alan find his leftover severed head. It was eventually sold to Apex, who used it as a part of Mechagodzilla's semi-organic psionic control system with some assistance from the aliens.

After the mecha was powered by an untested power source from the Hollow Earth, the aliens double-crossed Apex by merging Ghidorah's lingering consciousness with Mechagodzilla's A.I., thus putting it under their own control.

After killing the Mech's creators, the aliens sent it out to destroy Hong Kong, though it and its partner were eventually destroyed by the combined efforts of Godzilla, Kong, and Zilla, ending Ghidorah's resurgence and aliens' plans foiled.

"*Ghidorah, the one who is many.*"

### Appearance

King Ghidorah is a giant bipedal wyvern-like creature, larger than Godzilla, with three heads on long serpentine necks, two tails, and two large bat-like wings at his sides, which stands upright on his two hind legs. His body is covered in overlapping golden scales which, according to Monarch, actually contain trace amounts of gold. The membranes of King Ghidorah's wings are still gold in color, but are made of smooth skin and not covered in scales.

Ghidorah's wings are much larger and more bat-like in appearance - the membrane of each wing is supported by four bat-like phalanges extending from Ghidorah's wrists, and an additional three phalanges that extend from the sides of Ghidorah's torso. All these phalanges end in blade-like tips that emerge from the wing membrane. Though Ghidorah takes on a bipedal stance when standing still, Ghidorah is able to move on his legs and uses his wings as forelimbs to support his massive body for crawling or even running when needed.

The fronts of King Ghidorah's necks are also not covered in scales, but rather skin with a ridged texture. This skin pattern extends to King Ghidorah's chest, a trait unique. Each of the Ghidorah's heads are designed with 10 horns, a set of 5 horns on each side rather than eight, and one of the right head's horns is chipped. These horns are also slightly larger and more curved, while the left head's horns appear to be straighter than the others.

Each head has a crown of ten horns, which tend to flare depending on Ghidorah's current mood. There are subtle differences in each head's horn array. The horns of the middle head are notably longer, more curved, and more decorative than the other two, while the left head has straighter horns than the right head. Furthermore, one of the right head's left horns is chipped. The left head appears to have a slightly more rectangular facial structure with slightly further-apart eyes than the other two.

The middle head's neck has two rows of spines while the left and right necks only have one. Ghidorah's heads each have crocodilian-looking jaws with flaring nostrils, forked tongue, and brows with a generally furrowed appearance.

His eyes are beady and have a fiery reddish-orange color and circular pupils, and they tend to glint or glow blazing yellow at a distance (particularly noticeable in the dark) or when he prepares to fire his gravity beams. Ghidorah's necks also emit golden light of electricity from within whenever he charges up and fires his gravity beams.

Depending on Ghidorah's emotions, the horns can flare up or flare down. There is also a small ridge atop each head. All three of King Ghidorah's necks are very muscular in addition to being very long. Two rows of spikes run down the back of his center neck, while the left and right necks feature one row apiece. The undersides of his necks glow yellow when he charges his gravity beams. King Ghidorah's central neck is positioned in front of his left and right neck.

Ghidorah still has his traditional twin tails with spiked bludgeons at their tips that can rattle as an intimidation display. His legs are digitigrade and stocky with avian-like feet. When Ghidorah's left head is ripped off, his blood is shown to be dark green-like.

## Background

"*From the Hydra to the Rainbow Serpent, myth was the compass that led us to the resting place of the three-headed Titan. A name, unspoken through millennia of whispered nightmares. A living extinction event, named "the One who is Many". We call it Monster 0.

At a Monarch containment facility deep in the frozen tundra of Antarctica, a 3-headed winged serpent of ancient yet unknown origin lies frozen within a glacial tomb of ice. This is without question the largest superspecies ever discovered, easily dwarfing Godzilla at a height of over 500 feet tall.

Cranial scans reveal a divergent frontal lobe density in the brains of the 3 heads, denoting each head has disparate levels of cognitive functions and possibly even independent thought.

Monster 0's dermal layer is gilded with trace amounts of aurum (See Ark Record # 73.126). Metallurgical studies theorize the scales act as a conductor capable of carrying bioelectrical currents through the creature's body. Injuries have been discovered on several locations on the beast's body, reminiscent of claw and scorch marks. Exo-Forensics are currently investigating.

Muscle tendons on the wings are so hyper-tensile that their massive aerodynamics could generate hurricane-force winds when in flight. Coupled with its body's electro-receptor molecular biology capable of conducting electrical currents, water vapor in the air would be heated at extreme levels creating its own localized storm system as it travels. Simply put, if Monster 0 were to fly again, the stratosphere would be torn open by an otherworldly tempest of thunder and lightning our sky has never seen. Cryptolinguistics has analyzed translations of every worldwide case study of Monster 0 in the Monarch database across tens of thousands of years. The ancients called it Ghidorah.*"

—Cryptid Profile, on King Ghidorah’s origin.
## Personality

Ghidorah is arguably the most malevolent and hostile Titan encountered so far. Unlike the other Titans, who attack humans or cause damage due to provocation, carnivorous hunger or merely by being indifferent to the humans and structures surrounding them, Ghidorah displays true malice. He willingly tries to kill as many humans as he can, whether they're trying to pose a threat to him or not, and there are glimpses of all three of his heads seemingly smiling when he's just killed or is about to attack.

Ghidorah also initially displays a willingness to toy with or curiously investigate humans before killing them, such as when his heads attempted to slowly crush the human-filled Osprey in Antarctica. Ghidorah notably prefers killing humans with his gravity beams, despite this being overkill for such comparatively small creatures.

Ghidorah actively seeks to usurp command of Earth's Titans from Godzilla, and upon successfully doing so, he immediately commands the other Titans to join him in creating natural disasters and wreaking destruction on a global scale, to a point where the likely end result if the global rampage continues will be the eradication of all multicellular life except for Ghidorah within a few years.

Upon becoming aware of Ghidorah's extraterrestrial nature, Rick Stanton compares him to an invasive species and suspects that the purpose of his apocalypse is terraforming (xenoforming) the planet into a more ideal place for Ghidorah to live. Ishiro Serizawa, Mark Russell and Emma Russell all run with the same assumption; but Mark at one point alternatively speculates that Ghidorah perhaps simply hates every living thing that isn't him and desires to destroy it all as a motivation and an end-goal in and of itself.

Upon usurping Godzilla's position as the reigning omega, Ghidorah seems to exhibit a controlling streak and possessiveness of his new position that he didn't have before; whereas he'd previously disregarded the ORCA's Alpha signal in Antarctica as soon as it ceased broadcasting, during the Boston battle to maintain his control of the other Titans, Ghidorah instead went as far as immediately abandoning the fight with Godzilla once he sensed the ORCA signal challenging his dominance.

Ghidorah possesses a strong rivalry with Godzilla, the reigning omega of Earth's Titans. Ghidorah's right and middle heads were particularly confrontational and exchanged scowls with his ancient enemy when Ghidorah and Godzilla met again after Ghidorah's awakening, and the Titans attempted to size each other up before engaging. Ghidorah likewise maintained a one-on-one battle against Godzilla for the position of omega in Boston despite Mothra's interference, allowing Rodan to keep Mothra occupied.

## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **Titanus Ghidorah Physiology**: As a wyvern titan, Ghidorah is incredibly powerful as he possessed several physical and supernatural attributes that surpassed that of other titans. He was also one of the most powerful Titans in existence, rivaled only by Godzilla in "terms of raw power".
	+ **Supernatural Strength**: Due to his gigantic size, Ghidorah possesses a tremendous level of physical strength as he is far greater than that of other Titans, thus; he is the third strongest Titan after Godzilla and Kong. But titans of similar strength like Godzilla can harm Ghidorah and potentially kill him. He is strong enough to restrain Godzilla with his serpentine necks, pin him to the ground and even carry his 99,634-ton body into the Earth's troposphere with little effort, before dropping Godzilla thousands of feet below. But it is implied that the electricity Ghidorah consumed in Boston greatly increased his strength in order for him to do this.
	+ **Supernatural Durability**: Ghidorah is incredibly hardier and more resistant to conventional forms of physical injury as he is covered over with thick golden scales which act as body armor, allowing him to withstand conventional weaponry. He was able to withstand a full-force charge from Rodan or Godzilla, as well as the sheer power of Godzilla's atomic breath. Ghidorah even used his wings as a shield to protect his heads from missiles. He was also completely immune to the blast of the Oxygen Destroyer, which was designed to exterminate all terrestrial life-forms caught in its blast and which was able to almost kill Godzilla. But Ghidorah could not withstand thermonuclear pulses released by Godzilla in his burning form, which easily burned away his wings and heads within seconds.
	+ **Supernatural Speed**: Ghidorah's three heads are extremely flexible and quick as they are able to lash out and quickly strike their intended targets as well as using their flexible necks and numbers to dodge attacks; such as Godzilla's atomic breath. When Ghidorah was flying at top speed, he could reach up to 550 knots, although he seemingly wasn't as agile or acrobatic in the air as the smaller airborne titan, Rodan.
	+ **Supernatural Stamina** Ghidorah's musculature is considerably efficient. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time, allowing him to fight against Godzilla and Rodan without tiring. Even when he is flying, Ghidorah does not even seem to have any signs of fatigue.
	+ **Supernatural Endurance**: Ghidorah's endurance is shown to be high, capable of enduring attacks from Godzilla and Rodan and able to fight with all his might while ignoring the pain.
	+ **Supernatural Senses**: Ghidorah is granted with powerful senses, such as his sense of smell and hearing. He is able to sense Godzilla's presence in Antarctica and also able to track down the ORCA in Boston.
		- **Supernatural Vision**: Ghidorah possesses excellent vision, aiding him in fighting off against Godzilla and enabling him to locate things from far distances easily.
	+ **Accelerated Healing Factor**: Despite his body's resistance, Ghidorah can sustain physical injury. If wounded, his metabolism quickly enables him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue much faster, depending on how serious his injuries are. He was able to regenerate one of his three heads that was torn off by Godzilla in less than fifteen seconds. He was also able to heal tears in his wing membranes during his fight with Godzilla in Boston. The novelization specifies that Ghidorah absorbs energy from external sources (such as the thermal energy of a volcano or the electrical energy of the Boston power grid) to make this power work. Dr. Stanton specifically comments that this ability "violates everything we (humans) know about the natural order" and it's an indicator of Ghidorah's extraterrestrial true nature.
		- **Longevity/Semi-Immortality**: Ghidorah's exceptional healing factor coupled with self-sustenance provide him with an incredibly long lifespan as he is capable of living for practically long periods of time seemingly without aging or weakening, thus he still retains the appearance of a three-headed dragon in his prime. However, close-call instances such as Godzilla in his burning form confirmed that Ghidorah can still be killed.
	+ **Consciousness Transferal**: Ghidorah's decapitated left head, though seemingly dead to the point that it decomposed to just a skull, retained Ghidorah's telepathic capabilities and with them some vestiges of Ghidorah's will and intent; enough that when Mechagodzilla was fully powered up with a Hollow Earth element, Ghidorah caused the mech to operate independently of a human pilot and begin killing any human it came across as well as trying to kill Godzilla.
	+ **Self-Sustenance**: As an alien Titan, Ghidorah does not need to eat or sleep.
	+ **Flight**: Ghidorah can use his humungous bat-like wings to fly through the air at high speed and high altitudes.
	+ **Powerful Bite**: Ghidorah has a particularly strong and powerful bite, either because of his sharp teeth, jaw-muscles, unusual jaw-structure or some other reason. Exactly what he could bite depends on the jaw-strength, resilience of his teeth/bite-surface and his shape.
	+ **Rattling**: Similar to rattlesnakes, Ghidorah can use the spikes on his twin tails to create a rattling sound as a form of intimidation.
	+ **Bio-Electrical Nature**: Ghidorah's skin was covered with traces of gold which act as a conductor that carries bio-electrical currents throughout his body. Besides it being hinted in the Antarctica battle to have enabled him to draw a lightning-bolt to himself and Godzilla, it aids Ghidorah's meteorokinesis.
	+ **Energy Drain**: Ghidorah was able to bite down onto power lines and absorb the power to himself, significantly boosting his strength. He was also able to siphon the energy out of Godzilla (who was empowered with both a nuke's energy and Mothra's Burning Godzilla-unlocking radiation) through his heads' bites, and the process caused excruciating agony to Godzilla which made the latter outright roar in pain.
	+ **Gravity Beams**: Ghidorah's most prominent ability and main weapon of choice is his gravity beams, concentrated lightning-like yellow-colored beams of electrical energy that he shoots out of his mouths. Much like how Godzilla's dorsal plates glow whenever he is about to release his atomic breath, Ghidorah's throats glow before he fires his gravity beams. The beams are yellowish golden in color and are more than powerful enough to tear through buildings and disintegrate humans. Ghidorah's gravity beams are so powerful that when Mothra was struck by all three at once, she was almost immediately disintegrated. This did not affect Godzilla in his fiery form, as it had no effect on him and instead, it seemingly charges up his last nuclear pulse attack.
		- **Wing Lightning**: As well as his gravity beams, Ghidorah can also project powerful lightning from the tips of his wings, seen after absorbing a large amount of electricity from a power grid. In addition to damaging aircraft it strikes, this lightning also blinds and temporarily incapacitates Godzilla, allowing Ghidorah to press his advantage.
	+ **Hurricane Winds**: Promotional materials state Ghidorah has hyper-tensile muscle tendons in his wings that are capable of generating hurricane-force winds while he is in flight. It doesn't really show, with the only hint being a scene where rhythmic winds implied to be generated by giant wingbeats battering Fenway Park before Ghidorah is anywhere in sight.
	+ **Meteorokinesis**: Ghidorah had electro-receptor molecular biology and could conduct electrical currents, make water vapor heat up to extreme levels. From the moment he was awakened, he caused unnatural winds on the ground and a storm of yellowish golden lightning. The longer Ghidorah was active, the bigger and more powerful his storm got: rapidly evolving into a ginormous typhoon, and finally to a Category 6 hurricane, and Ghidorah's storm furthermore produced offshoot tornadoes and water-spouts. It's also implied in the film and confirmed in the novelization that after Ghidorah takes over the other Titans, he begins creating other offshoot storms (without the yellow lightning) all over the planet to aid his extinction event.
	+ **Telepathy**: Due to the fact the length of Ghidorah's necks would normally interfere with how quickly the beast could receive and interpret sensory information, Ghidorah possesses telepathy so that his heads could communicate with each other instantaneously, thus bypassing any information lag he might experience. Later on, when his remains were used to construct Mechagodzilla, the remnants of Ghidorah's consciousness in the left head's upper skull would take advantage of the psionic technology Apex Cybernetics had hardwired into the skull in order to hijack the robot and turn it against its own creators.
	+ **A-74 Photon Scream**: When Ghidorah's consciousness hijacks Mechagodzilla, he temporarily had access to all of the mechanized Titan's powers, including his bright red photon scream which was capable of overpowering Godzilla's atomic breath.
	+ **Energy Punch**: As Mechagodzilla, Ghidorah could supercharge his punches with blue energy to enhance his striking power.
	+ **Weapon Arsenal**: With his newfound robotic body, Ghidorah is able to access the rocket launchers implanted within him, as well as the drill like appendage at the end of his tail.

### Abilities

* **Genius-level Intellect**: Ghidorah is amazingly intelligent and each of his heads possessed different levels of cognitive function and independent thought while displaying the ability to learn and strategize to solve problems at hand. His middle head was the most intelligent by acting as the leader and being quicker-acting, more resourceful, as well as more goal-oriented than the other two. The right head displayed a combative spatial awareness when the other two were incapacitated in combat while the left head was an observant sentry. Ghidorah shows his intelligence during combat, such as when he bites down on electrical wiring during his battle with Godzilla in Boston, allowing him to temporarily stun his nemesis long enough to subdue and incapacitate him. While attempting to free his other heads from Mothra's silk, the right head was able to very quickly recognize Godzilla was behind him by looking at his own reflection. Ghidorah also seems to call in Rodan directly before the latter arrives and keeps Mothra occupied, which if the case shows Ghidorah knows when it's overwhelmed by Godzilla and Mothra's combined assault. Ghidorah also recognizes the ORCA frequency as a potential threat and makes several attempts to take out the source, such as when he destroys the Fenway Park speakers to cut off the sound.
* **Skilled Combatant**: Ghidorah's intimidation style is very similar to that of a king cobra. Much like cobras rise up their head and spread their neck, Ghidorah rises up his three heads and spreads his ginormous wings, making himself appear twice as large as Godzilla. Ghidorah can also use his wings, jaws, claws and two tails in combat against other kaiju such as Godzilla. Although he resembles a three-headed dragon, his combat style is similar to that of snakes as they quickly lash out and bite onto their opponent(s). Also, like that of a snake, Ghidorah was seen coiling his serpentine necks around Godzilla several times in an attempt to strangle him to death. Ghidorah could also use his massive wings as a shield, tucking his heads behind them to protect himself from projectiles.
* **Omega Call**: When Ghidorah became the ruling omega Titan, he was able to let out a powerful call that could be heard by Titans all over the world and made them compliant to his commands. However, this cry only works on lesser Titans and did not work on other Titans with their own omega status, such as Godzilla, Mothra and Kong, who were unaffected by Ghidorah's cry.
* **Sharp Teeth**: Each of Ghidorah's three heads have powerful jaws equipped with sharp teeth that are capable of biting through most materials, allowing him to bite into Godzilla's extremely thick skin.
* **Twin Tails**: Ghidorah possesses two prehensile tails with retractable spikes on the ends that he can use as formidable weapons, help balance himself, use them to hold opponents in their grasp and even prefers using them as a threat display. During his fight with Godzilla in Boston, Ghidorah is capable of using his tails as prehensile limbs to restrain him while lifting Godzilla into the atmosphere before dropping him.
* **Forked Tongues**: Similar to monitor lizards and snakes, Ghidorah has three forked tongues which he can use to smell, navigate his surroundings or even allow him to sense from which direction a smell is coming.
* **Constricting Necks**: Similar to that of constrictor snakes, Ghidorah can use his three serpentine necks to wrap around and squeeze opponents in combat, possibly to constrict them to death.
* **Wing Shield**: Ghidorah's large wings are wide and long enough to allow him to use them as shields. He used one of his wings to block incoming missiles from hitting his heads and later, he tried to block Burning Godzilla's energy pulses with them, but only succeeded in having them vaporized by the heat in the process.

### Weaknesses

* **Freezing Temperatures**: Ghidorah was neutralized by freezing solid in ice after being rendered inert by Godzilla in Antarctica; this incapacitated him for centuries to millennia, and Ghidorah only recovered due to human interference deliberately freeing him from the ice.
* **Water**: Because Ghidorah's physical structure was that of an airborne creature; he was not entirely suited to move underwater. When Godzilla dragged him into the ocean near Isla de Mara, Ghidorah struggled to fight back and ended up getting his left head easily decapitated by the former. The *King of the Monsters* director indicates it was a combination of this and freezing temperatures that caused Ghidorah to become frozen in Antarctica.
* **Limited Durability**: Although Ghidorah was incredibly durable, he could not withstand the thermonuclear pulses that Godzilla released in his burning form, which incinerated Ghidorah's wings and two of his heads in a matter of seconds.

## History

### Past

In 1973, Houston Brooks and San Lin briefed James Conrad and Mason Weaver on multiple other monsters who once ruled the world alongside Kong. This included Ghidorah, along with Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, who were all shown to the two via classified Monarch cave paintings.
