Mothra - Queen of the Monsters

Mothra is a lepidopteran-like kaiju capable of defending the natural world and was revered as a goddess by ancient human civilizations. She also serves as Godzilla’s trusted ally as she aided him in battle against his nemesis, Ghidorah. After her death at the hands of the alien dragon, she lends her power to Godzilla giving him the boost he needed to kill the Astro-Monster.
