Minya

Also known as: Minilla

Description:

Minya hatched from a giant egg on Sollgel Island. He is immediately attacked by Kamacuras, the giant mantises mutated in a radioactive storm. Minya cries out to Godzilla, who saves him. Minya can only form small radioactive rings, but can breath radioactive rays just like the Big G when scared. Minya serves little purpose in the series other than to get into trouble so Big G can bail him out. Later on, Minya befriends a young Japanese boy named Echiro. Both Minya and Echiro are aggravated by bullies, Minya by a monster named Gabara, Echiro by a "big boy" named Gabara (some coincidence, huh?). By helping Minya defeat Gabara, Echiro finds the courage first to escape from his kidnappers, then to confront the real-life bully Gabara.
