**Mothra** was the Guardian of Mortals and was also known as the "**Queen of the Monsters**" for being just as strong (if not stronger) than Godzilla. She is the descendant of the **Kaiju of Earth Gigamoth** of the **Eight Guardians of Terra**, the sister of the **Guardian of Terra Battra**, and the mother of Mothra Lea and Baby Mothra (later renamed Mothra Leo by Lisanna Strauss). She was killed by Battra on Infant Island when the evil psychic twins Minnete and Mallory took control of him and ordered him to kill her.

## Appearance

Mothra is a gigantic moth-like creature with brightly colored wings. Her fur is also brightly colored, with much of her body color being white with thick orange strips. She has large compound eyes that glow bright blue and has long, thick antenna's. Her wings are a mixture of yellow, black and orange in a pattern and she has orange fur running down the middle of her head with a small, thick strip of black fur between her eyes and just under her mandibles, which open sideways and she has three small protrusions sticking out of the end of her thorax. Her legs are covered with white fur and tipped with three-fingered bird-like claws and the bottom side of her body is completely black.

At some point after she and Battra had hatched from their egg, Mothra was in a larval form similar in appearance to her offspring: Resembling a resembles a large brown segmented caterpillar. Having Blue eyes in crater like sockets. She would have had pair of mandibles with small pair of tusks, one on each side of the mouth. Below her head would be 3 pairs of small legs. At the end of her tail would be a spike that stick upwards.

## Personality

Mothra is mostly portrayed as a kind and benevolent creature, causing destruction only when acting as protector to her worshipers on Infant Island or to her children, or as collateral damage while protecting Earth from a greater threat. Mothra is usually accompanied by two tiny priestesses or fairies, the Shobijin, who also speak for her.

## History

Mothra is a descendant of the Kaiju of Earth, Gigamoth, along with her brother Battra. Having hatched from same egg, both siblings carried a strong bond between each other and acted as the respected guardians, Mothra being the Guardian of Mortals, and Battra as the Guardian of Terra. After the battle between King Caesar and Megalon, which completely destroyed the Ryukyu Kingdom of Okinawa and the surrounding islands of Japan, Mothra located the survivors and led them to what would later be called Infant Island.

In 1348, Mothra appeared from an ancient shrine in England and engaged the original Megaguirus, who was mistaken for a dragon and had attacked the knight Gilder's group, and managed to kill her.

With Terra being safe from threats, Mothra sealed herself away on Infant Island to conserve her strength, waiting for when Terra would need her help again. In 1961, Mothra awoke once again as more Kaiju both new and old began to appear on Terra.

## Abilities

**Antenna Beam:** Mothra has the ability to fire twin beams of pink energy from her antenna's.

**Mirror Scales:** The powder that Mothra can dispel from her wings acts as a cloud of mirror-like scales, which would allow beam weapons to repeatedly rebound before striking the target, effectively making them impossible to miss.

**Prism Beam:** Mothra can fire a powerful beam of blue energy from her eyes that can cause extreme damage to her foes. this attack was first seen being used against Battra during his attack on Infant Island.

**Mana Lightning:** Aside from expelling refractive scales from her wings, Mothra also had the ability to fire bolts of yellow lightning from her wings that can cause sever damage to foes.

**Immense Strength:** As an adult, Mothra's great bulk of a body is commonly used to her advantage in battle to slam into opponents, and her surprising levels of strength can help her to drag and even lift monsters much larger from her.

**Flight:** Mothra can fly at incredible speeds despite her bulky size. Her wings can create gales which can tear apart buildings and send other kaiju flying.

**Immense Magic Power:** Being a Divine Moth, Mothra was one of the few Kaiju left in existence that possesses some level of magic. In fact, all of her powers and attacks posses a certain level of magic, which would explain why most of her attacks are mostly so damaging towards non-magic wielding Kaiju.
