Monster X (Atomic Betty)

**Monster X**, also known as **Keizer Ghidorah**, is the overarching antagonist of *Atomic Betty*. He is the guardian of the Underworld Gates.

## History

### Early life

Chernabog opened a portal to the Underworld where the treasure was. He sent the Firebird to retrieve the treasure, but the barrier blocked him from returning with the treasure, with Monster X coming for the Firebird as a result, trapping him there.

### Atomic Betty

Monster X appears as Chernabog unveiled the gates with the skulls of King Ghidorah, Desghidorah, and Grand King Ghidorah and had Atomic Betty open them. The creature's presence easily surprised Chernabog, which had him run into the Underworld, leading Monster X to cause havoc at Betty, the Atomic Kids, and the Warden Fury crew. Both groups begin to attack the guardian; Noah and Sarah go off to figure out how to close the gate, while the rest of them try to distract Monster X, who later transformed into Keizer Ghidorah after being attacked by the Rottens.

The plan succeeded as Harry Warden, using his activated Falcon wings, lures Keizer Ghidorah to the gates and the Rottens, having transformed into bowling balls, trip him, which makes him fall back inside. Everyone helps to close the gate, sealing Keizer Ghidorah back into the Underworld for eternity to guard the gates.

## Appearance

Monster X is a bipedal creature with an exoskeleton-like armored skin. He possesses two small half-skulls on his shoulders and a long black forked tail. Monster X has red eyes, a skeletal face, and long spikes on the top of his head.

Keizer Ghidorah incorporates elements of both King Ghidorah and Desghidorah in his appearance. Like Desghidorah, Keizer Ghidorah is quadrupedal, and like King Ghidorah he has golden skin. Keizer Ghidorah has much smaller wings than the other Ghidorahs, and lacks defined scales on his skin, instead having smooth gold skin with bluish streaks and spikes erupting from multiple spots on his body. Keizer Ghidorah's middle neck is much longer than the other two, and each of his heads has a different arrangement of horns and spikes. Keizer Ghidorah also possesses two long, whip-like tails.

## Abilities

### Physical Strength and Durability

Monster X is a physical match for any Kaiju with his rapid melee attacks and impressive agility.

Keizer Ghidorah trades Monster X's agility and his exoskeleton for even more power, being said to be the strongest member of the Ghidorah species, and is unfazed by any of attacks until his enemy is revitalized. He is able to send anyone flying with a mere kick, clobber with **super-weight body presses**, and easily lift him with his neck strength. Despite being slightly weaker than Monster X defensively, he is still completely unfazed by firepower.

### Gravitational Beams

Monster X can fire yellow electrical beams in rapid bursts from its eyes, an ability known as **Gravitational Beam "Destroyed Thunder"**. These beams are fired from both eyes on Monster X's head and a single eye on each of the partial skull-like structures on his shoulders.

### Antigravity Beams

Keizer Ghidorah possesses a more powerful variant of Monster X's gravitational beams, called the **Antigravity Beam "Destroyed Keizer"**. Keizer Ghidorah spits these beams in continuous streams from all three of his mouths. Keizer Ghidorah can also guide their paths and pick up and throw objects with them.

### Energy Siphoning

Keizer Ghidorah demonstrates the ability to directly siphon energy from anything by biting down on it. His necks glow as the energy passes through them.

### Levitation and Flight

Monster X is capable of levitating for a short period of time, while Keizer Ghidorah is capable of full-on flight.

### Transformation

Monster X can transform into the more powerful Keizer Ghidorah.
