Mothra

Description:

Mothra is, contrary to most people's opinions, one of the worst designed monsters in the Godzilla series, until his reappearance in 1992, which is a much better looking Mothra. Mothra was originally created by the Cosmos to defeat Battra. Mothra is telepathically linked to the Cosmos twins, who sing a terrible song whenever they need his help. Mothra has fought Godzilla on numerous occasions, and teamed up with him several times against Ghidrah. Mothra and Battra, both awakened by a meteor that hit earth (also awakening Godzilla) eventually team up and attack Godzilla, who is dropped into the ocean, but not before killing Battra. Mothra then flew off to stop another huge meteor from hitting the earth. As he flew through the earth's orbit, he picked up some of Biollante's spores, which had been orbiting earth since Biollante fought Godzilla. As Mothra flew through a black hole, these spores mutated into SpaceGodzilla.
