Description

**King Ghidorah** (Kingu Gidora? ), also known as Monster Zero, Titanus Ghidorah, or simply Ghidorah, is a three-headed alien dragon daikaiju developed by Legendary Pictures and first mentioned in the 2017 film Kong: Skull Island. Ghidorah was the MonsterVerse's main antagonist.

Ghidorah then emerged as the major adversary in the 2019 film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, when he battled Rodan, Mothra, and Godzilla for control of the planet and its Titans.

Ghidorah's control would later override Apex Cybernetics' ultimate destroyer, Mechagodzilla, during the events of the 2021 film Godzilla vs. Kong, following its rampage across Earth and apparent demise five years before. As a result, it, Godzilla, and Kong had a disastrous conflict. Ghidorah's power, as much as the mechanised menace, would be eradicated in the end.

## History

The MonsterVerse incarnation of King Ghidorah returns the character to his original roots as a villainous extraterrestrial life form. Monarch initially assumed that Ghidorah was part of Earth's natural order as one of the many Titans roaming the Earth until it was discovered that Ghidorah survived the Oxygen Destroyer blast and regenerated his severed head in seconds. According to information pieced together from ancient mythological texts by Ilene Chen, Ghidorah "fell from the stars", which Monarch subsequently took as indicating alongside Ghidorah's non-terrestrial biology that he was an extraterrestrial lifeform who acts like an invasive species to Earth's biosphere, it is unknown where Ghidorah came from. Numerous mythological deities such as the Hydra from Greek mythology and the Rainbow Serpent of the Aboriginal Australian religion are credited as misremembered encounters with Ghidorah by ancient civilizations, while the Taza people of Highland New Guinea remembered him as Mandandare Aqenomba. It's also implied that Ghidorah likely influenced the myths of the Thunderbird of the Hoh and Quileute peoples, and Typhon of Greek myth among other figures. Still, ancient people left very few writings about Ghidorah, as if willfully trying to forget the malevolent Titan.

If the aforementioned ancient texts are to be believed, Ghidorah was responsible for slaughtering humans and Titans alike. He established himself as a rival alpha to Godzilla, and the two battled each other several times before they vied for supremacy in ancient Antarctica. The latter battle ended with Godzilla's victory, and Ghidorah being rendered inert and left in icy waters to freeze solid near the tip of the continent (specifically the Scott Mountains). Ghidorah was frozen no more than a few miles away from Antarctica's Vile Vortex to the Hollow Earth, which was encased in thirty-million-year-old ice older than the ice surrounding Ghidorah, which may imply that Ghidorah tried to enter the Hollow Earth but was stopped by Godzilla.

## Personality

The right head (**Ni**) is the maximum irritable and competitive of the three, frequently generating grimacing facial expressions which set it aside from the opposite two. It seems to be mainly bloodthirsty and keen for struggle primarily based totally on those expressions, including whilst it feebly tried to fend Godzilla off even as the opposite heads have been incapacitated via way of means of Mothra's webbing. The proper head shows pragmatism and higher spatial attention of its foes even as fighting, including whilst it destroyed the Fenway Park audio system broadcasting the ORCA's signal (despite the fact that this will had been frustration), and whilst it became trying to loose the opposite heads from Mothra's webbing (first checking Mothra wasn't in a role to right away strike once more earlier than the pinnacle were given to the task, and speedy noticing Godzilla's method in a building's reflection). Despite being in particular recognised for its angry-seeming disposition, the proper head smiled sadistically whilst looking the center head eat Vivienne Graham. This head is an obedient follower closer to the center head and is able to interacting with the center head with out violence; frequently chirping suggestively to the center head or being consulted via way of means of the center head first (including whilst Ghidorah became careworn via way of means of the ORCA's deactivation in Antarctica). It seems to rank 2d at the trio's pecking order, devouring the overwhelmed ice falling from the center head's jaws (after flicking its tongue apparently in a request) whilst it gobbled Graham.

The left head (**San**, additionally called "**Kevin**") appears to be the least shrewd and least competitive of the heads; and primarily based totally on its facial expressions (or lack thereof) as compared to the opposite heads while Ghidorah is engaged in action, it seems to be quite docile. The left head is without problems distracted and unfocused, to the disappointment and sadness of the center head who has to forcibly get its partner again on venture. Possibly due to its behavior, the left head seems to be at the lowest of the 3 heads' pecking order. This head substantially presentations greater of an inquisitive aspect than the opposite , maximum prominently while Ghidorah first awakened. Its particular first response a few of the heads turned into to right now go searching after they have been rising from the ice, and it spoke back to the G-Team taking pictures at Ghidorah with the aid of using bending its neck to get a better look (even nuzzling one in all them with its chin). It attacked the G-Team in unison with the opposite heads handiest after the center head had forcefully driven it again to get it again on venture, and right now later on it frolicked off-venture licking the team's ashy remains. Its interest in the direction of human beings regarded to ebb after this, even though it nevertheless apparently scented the air with its tongue while the heads have been drawing near Emma Russell after injuring her, performing mildly curious approximately the human who'd broadcasted the ORCA's signal.

The center head **(Ichi)** is the foremost overwhelming and intelligent-seeming head of the three and shows up to be the pioneer over the other two. It's too debatably the foremost happily twisted of the heads and the foremost decided to go out of its way to be pitiless; pulling a disproportionate smile specifically some time recently devastating the G-Team, moreover apparently smiling when Ghidorah was assaulting the Argo, and focusing on and eating up Vivienne Graham in Antarctica. The center head shows up to be more centered on seeking after Ghidorah's grand-scale objectives and for the most part quicker-acting than the other two heads; being the foremost mindful head when Ghidorah to begin with detected Godzilla's approach in Antarctica and upon Emma Russell's clear passing, and bending its neck marginally speedier than the other two heads when seeking after Emma and the ORCA. Since of this, the middle head shows up to require Ghidorah's competition with Godzilla more actually than the other heads when challenging the earthbound Titan. The center head is to some degree imaginative in fight, such as when it bit down on a control station in Boston. The center head was as it were known to appear fear at the conclusion of Ghidorah's life, being unmistakably scared by a thermonuclear Godzilla's progress after the last mentioned devastated the other two heads.
