Rodan (Doom and Destruction Universe)

Rodan is one of the monsters featured in Godzilla: Doom and Destruction. Rodan was one of the monsters summoned by Godzilla and terrorised the people of Earth, being one of the faster creatures of the monsters Godzilla summouned. Rodan would be killed off like most of the monsters during the battle between Godzilla, Mechagodzilla and King Ghidorah.

This would be the first version of Rodan that Footyzilla1321 made, with the second being the Monster King variation.

## Name

Rodan's Japanese name is Radon, however, when the Rodan film was brought to America, his name was changed due to the name Radon already being trademarked.

## Design

Rodan's design was originally going to be more traditional, however, when a Rodan design contest was held, Footyzilla1321 decided to make something look more like an actual pterosaur, specifically a pterodactylus. Rodan had a long, slender beak filled filled sharp, pointed teeth. Rodan has two crests on his head, on to resemble a pterodactylus and another more traditional Rodan crest. Rodan appears to be covered in pycnofibers similar to feathered. Rodan has armour covering his chest that has several scars and scratches. He also has large wings, sharp talons and a long tail.

## Personality

Rodan is an extremely aggressive and animalistic beast. Unlike every other kaiju in the series, Rodan follows Godzilla's orders without question. Despite his animalistic nature, he is roughly as intelligent as primates.

## Origins

Rodan was an ancient god that would get summoned by Godzilla to destroy universes that didn't fit Godzilla's standards. Rodan would eventually be summoned to destroy Earth and that universe.

## History

### Godzilla: Doom and Destruction

After being summoned by Godzilla, Rodan would emerge from Mount. Fuji, beginning to destroy as much as possible. Rodan would eventually encounter Godzilla, who told Rodan to destroy Mechagodzilla. Rodan engaged in an aerial battle with Mechagodzilla, being knocked out of the sky by the mech. Later, Rodan would be summoned by Mechagodzilla's call, being lured into a trap, along with the other surviving monsters. Rodan would battle with the other creatures, eventually being incinerated by the explosion Godzilla and King Ghidorah caused.

## Powers & Abilities

### Beak

Rodan possesses a massive beak he can use to stab enemies. He also has extremely large teeth, giving Rodan an extremely powerful biteforce. Rodan's long neck and beak length also give him an extremely long range.

### Durability

Despite his size being smaller than majority of kaiju and the fact that he's extremely fragile looking, Rodan can tank several powerful weapons. The majority of his body are able to survive tank shells with minor damage while his stomach armour is able to survive weapons from Mechagodzilla, these same weapons caused Varan and Baragon to bleed out.

### Flight

Rodan is able to fly at speeds of mach 30. While he is extremely dangerous normally, in the air he is one of, if not the most dangerous kaiju aside from Godzilla himself. In the air he is able to battle against the more powerful Mechagodzilla.

## Trivia

* This Rodan is practically the exact opposite of Footyzilla's next version of Rodan, being a destructive mindless beast rather than a highly intelligent animal
* Footyzilla has realised that the Monster King Gyaos are quite similar to this version of Rodan, specifically the 10-metre tall variation of the Gyaos
