## Summary

**King Ghidorah** (**キングギドラ *Kingu Gidora***) is a three-headed dragon kaiju that appeared in the 1998 film, *Rebirth of Mothra III*.

This is the only incarnation of King Ghidorah to appear in a film without Godzilla. Like the Showa incarnation of the character, this King Ghidorah is an evil space monster, and first invaded Earth millions of years ago during the Cretaceous. King Ghidorah returned to Earth in the present day to feed on the life forces of human children, trapping them all inside a gigantic dome in the forests around Mount Fuji. Rainbow Mothra attempted to stop King Ghidorah, but was soundly defeated. Rainbow Mothra traveled back to the Cretaceous period and battled King Ghidorah's younger and weaker form, seemingly killing him by dropping him into an active volcano. When Rainbow Mothra returned to the present day, King Ghidorah reappeared and continued his reign or terror. Rainbow Mothra then transformed into Armor Mothra and destroyed King Ghidorah.

## Mentality

**Personality**: This incarnation of King Ghidorah returns to the Showa incarnation's depiction as a malevolent space monster that arrives on Earth to decimate all life. The explanation for this King Ghidorah's destructive nature is that he feeds on the life forces of the creatures he kills. King Ghidorah caused the Cretaceous extinction millions of years ago, and returns to Earth in the present day to feed on the life forces of children. This King Ghidorah appears to be more intelligent and methodical than past incarnations, constructing a huge dome in which to trap his victims and slowly harvest their life forces. He is also capable of instilling mind control on other beings, and does this to turn the Elias against each other.

## Arsenal

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Gravity Beams**: Modern Type King Ghidorah can fire the character's traditional golden **Gravity Beams** (**引力光線 *Inryoku Kōsen***) from his mouths. These beams are powerful enough to destroy buildings and severely injure Rainbow Mothra. He can also combine his Gravity Beams into a single concentrated blast, called the **Gravity Beam Triple Tornado** (**引力光線トリプルトルネード *Inryoku Kōsen Toripuru Torunēdo***), which was sufficient to send Rainbow Mothra flying through the air but failed to even slow down Armor Mothra. Before unleashing this combined attack against Armor Mothra, his entire body emitted a golden glow.

* **Antigravity Beams**: King Ghidorah can fire up to six **Antigravity Beams** (**反重力光線 *Hanjūryoku Kōsen***) from each of his wings.

* **Hypnosis Beam**: King Ghidorah can instill a weak mind control on other beings susceptible to it using a **Hypnosis Beam** (**催眠光線 *Saimin Kōsen***) projected from his eyes.
* **Fire Balls**: Cretaceous King Ghidorah can spit **Fire Balls** (**火炎弾 *Kaen Dan***) from his mouths in place of his mature form's gravity beams.

* **Wing Shockwaves**: While flying, King Ghidorah's wings produce hurricane-force winds called **Wing Shockwaves** (**翼の衝撃波 *Tsubasa no Shōgekiha***) which blow away cars and buildings.
* **Barrier**: King Ghidorah's scales can manipulate the light from projectiles to form a protective **barrier** (**バリア *Baria***). He used this ability to shrug off Rainbow Mothra's Cross Heat Rainbow Laser, Mineral Chest Beam, and Sparkling Rainbow Buster attacks. However, it failed to block Armor Mothra's Armor Heat Laser.

* **Dome**: King Ghidorah is able to create a **dome** (**ドーム *Dōmu***) that allows objects to pass through, yet has a corrosive effect when they try to leave. The dome's exterior is laced with tentacles that pull outside victims inside. Living creatures inside the dome slowly have their life-force drained and transferred to King Ghidorah.
