Battra

## Bio

Battra was born from the ashes of Gigamoth alongside his sister Mothra, and together they serve as Earth's protectors. He is considered to be the more powerful of the two moth siblings, with his form and abilities being more suited for combat situations. Battra's methods of protecting the planet are far more violent than Mothra's, going so far as to immediately eradicate anything seen as a threat rather than giving them a chance to change their destructive ways. That's why he sees humanity as something that needs eradicated more than it needs protection, which causes conflicts with Mothra to arise. Despite this difference, they can never bring it upon themselves to destroy the other because they know the Earth needs the other. Even though Battra is stubborn about his beliefs regarding Earth's protection, he will temporarily put them aside and work with Mothra to combat truly dangerous threats.

## History

### 66 Million Years Ago

Following the death of Gigamoth, Battra emerged from her burnt corpse alongside his sister Mothra as King Ghidorah fled into outer space. Battra, unaware of his connection with Mothra at the time, tried to fight her due to believing she was a threat to Earth. Mothra refused to fight and simply left, expressing that enough fighting was done that day. Battra decided to take his leave as well and headed for an island in the Bering Strait that'll be known as Adonoa Island in modern times.

### 75,000 Years Ago

The Elias' misuse of Gigamass despite being warned previously against doing so by Mothra forced the Earth's spirit to awaken Battra on Adonoa Island so he can handle the matter. Furious about the havoc that's been wrought on the biosphere by the Elias, Battra went on the warpath and headed straight for Aelina, the Elias' capital city where Gigamass resided. Mothra, who was living amongst the Elias, tried to persuade Battra to seek a peaceful resolve with the Elias, but Battra ignored her and attacked her when she attempted to stop him. When the Black Mothra reached Gigamass, he attacked it with all his might, badly damaging it. Unfortunately, this caused the bio-machine to create two kaiju to defend itself, as well as transformed itself into the kaiju Razin. Knowing that these three kaiju posed a serious threat to the planet and that he couldn't defeat them alone, Battra reluctantly fought them alongside Mothra and the Elias' military. The three kaiju proved to be more than the moths could handle, but just when it seemed like the Gigamass kaiju would be victorious, Rainbow Mothra arrived from the year 1998 and joined the fight. Since Rainbow Mothra knew that Battra was the strongest between himself and Mothra, Rainbow Mothra gave him some of her energy so he can metamorphosise into his imago form. The battle came to an end when Ghogo, Gigamass' fail-safe, created three locking mechanisms for use against Gigamass that were used to render the three kaiju comatose. With the Gigamass kaiju no longer a threat, Battra resumed his attack on the Elias, but was beaten unconscious by Rainbow Mothra and Mothra. He's cocooned by Mothra and flown to Adonoa Island by Rainbow Mothra. With Gigamass destroyed and the Elias' civilization in ruins, Battra's mission was completed and he returned to hibernating.

### 10,500 Years Ago

Battra was brought out of hibernation alongside Mothra by the Earth's spirit when the Orochi Spawn converged on the North China Plain in a battle that could potentially bring back Orochi. Wanting to prevent this from occurring, the Earth's spirit sent the two moths to defeat the kaiju. By the time Battra and Mothra got there, all but five Orochi Spawn remained. Even though Baragon, Manda, and Varan were subdued, the two moths were unable to prevent Balkzardan and Jyarumu from colliding with each other in a cataclysmic fashion that created the horrific kaiju called Bagan. The Earth's spirit called upon an army of monsters to fight Bagan alongside Battra, Mothra, Baragon, Varan, and Manda, with Battra joining his sister and Gojira as leaders of the army. When Bagan was defeated and sealed away, Battra returned to Adonoa Island and went back into hibernation. At some point between now and 1992, Battra's body and essence returned to the Earth and an egg containing a new Battra was left in his place.

### 1992

The egg containing Battra was uncovered by an undersea earthquake and tsunami that occurred after a meteorite slammed into the Bering Sea close to Adonoa Island's shore. When a team from the Marutomo Company, who had recently purchased the island, was sent to assess the damages wrought to the area, they discovered the egg. The company's president plotted to use the egg as a way to get environmentalists off the company's back via announcing the egg's existence and promising to move it somewhere more suitable for whatever hatched out of it to be raised at. One of Battra's remaining Cosmos followers, Belvera, tried to prevent the humans from moving the egg, but they ignored her and proceeded to load Battra's egg onto a ship headed for Japan. The vessel's trip was interrupted by Godzilla (II), who approached the ship to investigate the egg. Before the Monster King got too close, Battra hatched from the egg and attacked him in self-defense. Their battle was taken underwater, which ended with Battra knocking Godzilla into an erupting deep-sea volcano. Battra began angrily attacking humanity due to their reckless destruction of the environment, but Mothra, aware of his return, came to stop him. The two moths came across the other in Nagoya, and a battle between them ensued. The battle came to an end when Mothra, unable to contend with her sibling in her larval form, fled to Yokohama. Battra followed in pursuit, but was interrupted by a returning Godzilla in Kanagawa. The Black Mothra was unable to handle the Monster King's wrath, so he metamorphosed into his imago form and fled the area to continue his pursuit of Mothra, unaware that Godzilla was now following him. Upon arriving in Yokohama, Battra was greeted by Mothra in her imago form, and the two continued their battle until Godzilla arrived. A free-for-all battle ensued between the three kaiju until Mothra convinced her brother to help her subdue Godzilla by informing him of Godzilla's origin. The two succeed in defeating Godzilla and flew him out to sea. Unfortunately, Battra was killed by Godzilla mid-flight, which forced Mothra to drop both of them into the ocean below due to being unable to carry both of them on her own. Battra's dead body returned to the Earth and a new egg appeared on Adonoa Island.

### 1997

The return of Dagahra and his Barem caused Battra to return once again. He confronted the pollution-consuming kaiju near Ishigaki Island, which was interrupted by G-Force, who attacked both kaiju with their Maser weaponry and Kaiju Hunters. The battle ended when Dagahra unexpectedly left for the Elias' temple in the waters of Okinawa with Battra hot on his trail. The two continued their battle upon arriving at the temple, but they're joined by a Mothra Leo, who does her best to help the now-exhausted Battra. Once he's given enough time to recover thanks to Mothra Leo's intervention, he returned the favor when he saved her life by moving her away from Dagahra and over to the temple so she can recover. Battra took his battle with Dagahra underwater while Mothra Leo was transformed into Aqua Mothra by Ghogo's life force. Moments after Leo's transformation, she dived into the ocean and joined Battra in the underwater battle. Together, they're able to defeat Dagahra, but it's Aqua Mothra who killed the Gigamass kaiju. With the battle over, Battra returned to Adonoa Island with Belvera and her steed Garu-Garu following behind.

### 1998

The rise in the Hyper Gyaos population numbers got the attention of Battra, who assisted Gamera in killing the harpy kaiju.

Razin's rebirth got the attention of Battra, who quickly left for Mt. Fuji to confront it. The Black Mothra joined Gamera against Razin, but not even with Rainbow Mothra's aid were they able to put a scratch on it. Battra ended up mistaking the hole that opened up in Razin's core created by Lora and Belvera to allow those trapped inside to escape as a newly-created weak spot and attempted to attack it, but the timely return of Rainbow Mothra from the past at the last second prevented him from doing so. Battra noticed Belvera's attack run on Razin and protected her from the Gigamass kaiju long enough for her to unleash a spell using the energy of the three Gigamass locking mechanisms that ended up destroying the bio-machine once and for all. After Belvera's death, Rainbow Mothra and the Shobijin followed Battra back to Adonoa Island so Belvera can be buried there.

### 1999

Battra joined Gamera, Mothra, G-Force, the EDF, and Godzilla (III) against the Hyper Gyaos hordes when they began converging on Japan. After the battle ended, Battra began hunting down any remaining Gyaos in Gamera's place alongside G-Force and the EDF.
