Shinomura

Shinomura (シノムラ) is a radioactive parasitic colony Titan who appeared in Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy.

Name
Shinomura is derived from the Japanese "shi no mure," (死の群れ), which means "swarm of death."

Design
While it could technically take on various different forms, the main form of a Shinomura was massive, winged, insect-like monsters with blue scales and dark, membranous wings. They had a total of six glowing eyes, with there being three on each side of their head. Their bodies were long and serpentine, ending in a sharp, scorpion-like tail.

Origins
Shinomura was an alien Titan that arrived on Earth millions of years ago.

Episode Two - The Impostor
A remains of Shinomura can be seen lying on the ocean floor. After the Oxygen Destroyer was tested, parasite's cells were revived by the weapon, which caused them to mutate and evolve into Destoroyah.

Division And Recombination
Shinomura is a conglomerate of millions of smaller creatures merged to create one single entity. Due to its composite structure, Shinomura can shape its combined form however way it chooses, allowing it to form extra appendages such as tentacles and even take on smaller forms.

Regeneration
As another consequence of its aforementioned composition, Shinomura possesses an incredible capacity for regeneration. A single cell from Shinomura can regrow an entire new body as long as there is radiation on which to feed.

Physical Strength
When large enough, Shinomura is strong enough to hold its own in combat against monsters like Dagon.

Flight
Shinomura is capable of flight.

Weaknesses
As a parasitic creature who feeds on radiation, Shinomura's biggest weakness is cadmium, which is enough to weaken or even kill a whole colony. Shinomura is also vulnerable to any heat-based attacks. A single blast of Dagon's atomic breath could incinerate a huge part of their body.

Trivia

 * Shinomura bears several similarities to the monsters Hedorah and Destoroyah. All three monsters are composite creatures composed of countless smaller organisms that can split apart and recombine at will. All three monsters are also extremely deadly to organic lifeforms on Earth.
 * Due to their resemblance, Shinomura was chosen as the creature who would later mutate into Destoroyah, instead of ancient microscopic crustaceans.
 * Just like the MUTOs and the MUTO Prime, Shinomura is a parasitic species who feed on radiation.
