Biography

Mothra (Japanese: モスラ, Hepburn: Mosura)

Mothra was created by Shinichiro Nakamura, Yoshie Hotta and Takehiko Fukanaga where she featured in the setting of the Godzilla universe.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Mothra appeared in the setting of the live-action film set in the Monsterverse. Mothra is first seen as a larva hatching from her egg after being closely monitored by Monarch for years. She becomes agitated when Monarch operatives fire electrical pulses at her and spits silk at them in defense, as well as flattening them with her massive bulk and using her mandibles to throw one of them into a giant spiderweb. The Monarch scientists almost attempt to terminate her before she can destroy the facility, but Dr. Emma Russell manages to calm Mothra down using the ORCA device. Now more relaxed, Mothra leans close towards Dr. Russell and her daughter, Madison, and almost allows them to touch her. Seconds later, Alan Jonah and his eco-terrorist mercenaries attack the facility, killing all the Monarch personnel in sight except for Emma and Madison, who depart with them. Mothra meanwhile escapes the facility and travels to a waterfall, where she cocoons herself.
In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Mothra appeared in the setting of the live-action film set in the Monsterverse. It is revealed that Mothra has an ancient connection to the Iwi people living within the Hollow Earth city of Malenka. An ancient prophecy foretells that Mothra would join Godzilla in order to defeat the Skar King and Shimo once the Skar King is able to resume his war on the surface world. The prophecy also states that she will be reawakened by an Iwi from Skull Island.
