## Summary

**King Ghidorah** (**キングギドラ *Kingu Gidora***) is a three-headed dragon kaiju that appeared in the 1991 Godzilla film, *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah*.

The centerpiece of a scheme by time-traveling terrorists from the year 2204 to bring Japan to its knees in the past before it could become a corrupt economic superpower, King Ghidorah was the result of three genetically engineered pets called Dorats being left behind by the Futurians on Lagos Island in 1944. In 1954, the Dorats were exposed to the *Castle Bravo* hydrogen bomb test conducted at nearby Bikini Atoll, fusing them together and transforming them into King Ghidorah. In the year 1992, the Futurians took control of King Ghidorah and unleashed him in Japan, demanding the nation surrender to their demands as the monster leveled Fukuoka and moved on to Hokkaido. Unable to defeat the three-headed monster, the Japanese government attempted to recreate Godzilla, whom they believed had been erased from history by the Futurians, by using a nuclear submarine to irradiate the Godzillasaurus they believed was lying dormant in the Bering Sea. Their plan only resulted in the already-mutated Godzilla becoming even larger and more powerful, and the now-revitalized King of the Monsters subsequently came ashore in Hokkaido. The Futurians ordered King Ghidorah to attack Godzilla, and as the two titans battled a defector from the Futurians, Emmy Kano, launched an assault on her comrades' ship with the aid of writer Kenichiro Terasawa and the android M11. The Futurians' control over King Ghidorah was severed, and Godzilla eventually took the upper hand in the battle, decapitating King Ghidorah's middle head. After Godzilla destroyed the Futurians' ship and ended their scheme for good, the wounded King Ghidorah attempted to escape, only for his wings to be blasted out by Godzilla's atomic breath, after which he plummeted into the ocean below. When it became clear that the powered-up Godzilla was now a greater threat to Japan than King Ghidorah, Emmy and M11 returned to 2204 to salvage King Ghidorah's preserved carcass from the ocean. They revived and enhanced the monster as the cyborg dubbed Mecha-King Ghidorah, then returned to 1992 to stop Godzilla from destroying Tokyo. Mecha-King Ghidorah succeeded in capturing Godzilla and carrying him out over the ocean before Godzilla knocked him out of commission with his atomic breath, with both monsters falling into the sea below. Mecha-King Ghidorah's wreckage would later be salvaged by the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center and used to build an even more advanced anti-Godzilla machine: Mechagodzilla.

## Mentality

**Personality**: The Heisei King Ghidorah is incredibly violent and destructive, but he is completely under the control of the Futurians, who are commanding him to destroy Japan. When the Futurians' mind control is severed, he attacks Godzilla under his own free will, though this may only be in self-defense. King Ghidorah attempts to retreat shortly after Godzilla severs his middle head.

Mecha-King Ghidorah is completely under the control of Emmy Kano and M11, and as such does not act independently.

## Arsenal

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* King Ghidorah
* Mecha-King Ghidorah

* **Gravity Beams**: The Heisei King Ghidorah retains the character's trademark yellow **Gravity Beams** (**引力光線 *Inryoku Kōsen***) that he fires from his mouths. The beams are extremely powerful, easily leveling city blocks and even causing Godzilla visible pain.

* **Wings**: King Ghidorah can produce powerful hurricane-force winds by flapping his wings. He can also use his wings like a defensive shield to block Godzilla's atomic breath. He also generates powerful shockwaves that decimate buildings simply by flying over them.
* **Constricting Necks**: King Ghidorah constricts his necks around Godzilla in an attempt to strangle him, causing him to foam at the mouth.

* **Gravity Beams and Laser Beam**: Mecha-King Ghidorah can fire **Gravity Beams** (**引力光線 *Inryoku Kōsen***), or **Plasma Gravity Beams** (**プラズマ引力光線 *Purazuma Inryoku Kōsen***), from his organic left and right heads, while the mechanical central head fires a triple **Laser Beam** (**レーザー光線 *Rēzā Kōsen***), from its **Gravity Laser Cannon**.

* **Electrified Bite**: Mecha-King Ghidorah's organic heads can deliver an electrical shock through their bite.
* **Godzilla Capture Devices and Machine Hand**: Mecha-King Ghidorah is equipped with four electrified capture cables, called **Godzilla Capture Devices** (**ゴジラ捕獲装置 *Gojira Hokaku Sōchi***), and a large **Machine Hand** (**マシンハンド *Mashin Hando***) which he can use to restrain Godzilla. These are strong enough for Mecha-King Ghidorah to be able to fly over large distances with Godzilla in tow.

* **Time Warp**: With the time machine KIDS built into him and serving as his escape pod, Mecha-King Ghidorah is able to perform independent **Time Warps** (**タイムワープ *Taimu Wāpu***), allowing him to arrive in the year 1992 from 2204. If the cyborg is badly damaged, KIDS is able to launch from him, carrying pilot Emmy Kano and M11's A.I. inside.
