## Summary

**Mothra** (**モスラ *Mosura***) is a giant divine moth kaiju that first appeared in the 1992 Godzilla film *Godzilla vs. Mothra*.

The guardian of the ancient world, Mothra was forced to battle a dark counterpart named Battra when he went beyond his purpose of destroying a climate controlling device and tried to eradicate all of humanity. Mothra eventually defeated Battra and laid him to rest in the North Sea, but the entire civilization she had defended was destroyed in the battle. Mothra then went to live on the remote Infant Island with the Cosmos, two miniature priestesses who were the only remnants of the ancient civilization. In 1993, the Cosmos allowed Mothra's egg to be transported to Japan by the Marutomo Company, believing it would do more good there than on Infant Island. However, en route, the transport was attacked by Godzilla and the reawakened Battra. Mothra hatched and escaped back to her island while Godzilla and Battra battled and were swallowed by a volcanic fault in the Philippine Trench. When the Cosmos were abducted by the Marutomo Company, Mothra traveled to Tokyo to try and recover them. After the Cosmos were secured, she cocooned herself on the National Diet Building and metamorphosed into her imago stage. She then flew to Yokohama for a final showdown with Battra, who escaped from under the Earth's crust and had matured into his imago stage. Their battle was interrupted by Godzilla, and the two divine moths were forced to settle their differences and join together against their common enemy. Together, Mothra and Battra defeated Godzilla and carried him out to sea. Battra was killed by Godzilla while carrying him, and Mothra was forced to drop both monsters in the sea below. With Battra dead, Mothra took up his mission to stop a meteor from striking the Earth in 1999, and traveled to space with the Cosmos to carry it out. In 1995, Mothra learned that an evil extraterrestrial clone of Godzilla named SpaceGodzilla was heading to Earth to conquer it, and so she sent a telepathic projection of herself called Fairy Mothra to warn Miki Saegusa of the creature's approach. Thanks to Mothra's warning, Miki was able to ensure Godzilla and G-Force defeated SpaceGodzilla.

## Mentality

**Personality**: Like previous incarnations, the Heisei Mothra is a benevolent and peaceful creature concerned with defending the Earth. However, Mothra is still capable of causing destruction, which she does while trying to rescue the Cosmos from the Marutomo Company. After Mothra rescues the Cosmos, they convince her to cease causing destruction. Mothra later makes peace with her mortal enemy Battra, allowing the two kaiju to join forces against Godzilla. Following the battle, Mothra leaves Earth to fulfill a promise she made to Battra to intercept a meteor bound to strike the planet.
