Description:
King Ghidora is probably the best-known Godzilla enemy. The three-headed dragon has starred in more films than any other enemy. He is also one of the strongest and hardest to defeat. King Ghidora first appeared in Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster. It took three monsters just to defeat him. Or, take his role in Destroy All Monsters: it took seven or more monsters just to defeat him. His most recent appearance was in Godzilla vs. King Ghidora (1991). Ghidora was killed, and his middle head severed from the body, but one of the Futurians used 23rd century cybernetics to revive him into Mecha-King Ghidora, who flys back to save Japan from Godzilla's attack. He carries Godzilla to sea, and falls in with him. Mecha-King Ghidora never again is seen, though Godzilla awakens. With his three heads, brute strength, and magnetic force beams fired from his mouths, Ghidora is definetely Godzilla's deadliest enemy.
