Hedorah

Also known as: The Smog Monster

Description:

Hedorah is one of my personal favorite monsters. He was formed when an organism attached to a meteorite combined with pollution in Sugura Bay off of Japan. Taking form first as a giant tadpole, which turns into an amphibious walking monster which attacks Japan. Later, Hedorah mutates into a flying form which flies over Japan, killing anything in it's wake with sulfuric gas fumes. Finally, Hedorah mutates into a huge two-legged monster which terrorizes Japan, until Godzilla attacks it. Hedorah has several special weapons: laser beams fired from his eyes, and acidic muckballs which it throws at enemies. Finally, with the help of human-built maser cannon walls, Godzilla manages to fry Hedorah into a heap of dry muck. He reaches into the heap and brings out two spheres (supposedly eggs), which he crushes.
