Rodan

Rodan (ラドン Radon) is a winged Titan who appeared in Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy.

Rodan is known as the fastest Titan on Earth. But his incredible flight speed and maneuverability aren't his only advantages - this monster is resistant to extremely high temperatures, what makes him immune to fire, magma and lava and also allows him to resist heat-based attacks from other monsters. His skin is extremely tough, what allows him to take high amounts of damage. Rodan is also known as the King of the Skies, being the most powerful flying Titan.

After Godzilla became the new King of Monsters, Rodan joined his side to defend Earth.

Name
Rodan's Japanese name, Radon, is a truncation of "Pteranodon." It may also have been chosen to suggest radiation. The name was changed to "Rodan" in English-speaking markets, possibly to avoid confusion with the element Radon. Toho eventually trademarked the name "Rodan," making it the monster's official English name.

Design
Rodan's design from episode 1 is a mixture of the MonsterVerse Rodan and the Final Wars Rodan.

He has enlarged wings with visible magma cracks on them. He has sharp talons and chest marks used for grabbing, piercing and slashing. He has a beak with visible teeth on them.

Origins
Rodan was awakened in 1958, as a result of several volcanic eruptions in Mexico.

Episode One - The Arrival
Rodan emerged from the sky to intercept the Xilien UFO that held Godzilla captive. He evaded every Xilien attack. However, thanks to the energy shield, Rodan could not damage it with its Uranium Fireballs. So, he proceeded to use his Asteroid Dash attack and proceeded to ram the UFO with a high-power physical shockwave, which bypassed their shield. That allowed Godzilla to break free of his binds and when the Xilien master dropped Godzilla, Rodan caught him and helped him land safely. Once the two got together with Anguirus and Mothra, Rodan saw Godzilla let out his roar.

Physical Strength
Rodan possessed great strength. He lifted a 78,000 metric ton Godzilla in the air with little to no difficulty.

Durability
On screen, Rodan was able to live a direct hit from an Xilien hyperlaser, even after he was knocked out of the sky from it. He still got back up and helped Godzilla escape safely. It is also said in his bio that he is durable against super-high temperatures, making him immune to fire, lava and magma and any heat-based attacks have negated damage.

Speed and Agility
Rodan is able to fly at speeds of around Mach 5. He evaded Xilien lasers with ease.

Fireballs
Rodan can charge up quickly and launch fireballs from his mouth. He used these Fireballs to intercept the Xilien interlocking energy balls and to try and damage the UFO.

Heat Ray
Rodan is mentioned to have a Uranium Heat Ray if he absorbed high amounts of Radiation. This ability wasn't shown onscreen yet.

Shockwaves
Rodan can flap his wings hard enough to create explosive shockwaves, like every other incarnations.

Asteroid Dash
A physical variant of the shockwave is called the Asteroid Dash. This attack can break through shields that the EDF and the Xiliens possess. He used this move to ram the UFO that contained Godzilla and damaged it greatly.

Fire Manipulation
Rodan is able manipulate lava and magma.

Radiation Absorption
A rare trait that Rodan possesses is his ability to absorb radiation. He uses this to heal, power-up his arsenal and even manages to fire off a powerful Heat Ray.

Trivia

 * Rodan has many similar traits with the Heisei Rodan. Both absorb radiation, both have been seen or mentioned to have a Heat Ray and both rescued Godzilla (with the Heisei giving his life force and LordVerse catching him in the air)
 * Despite emerging from a volcano and possessing fire-related abilities, Rodan's Type is not labeled "Volcanic" or anything fire-related in his monster bio. According to Dinomania, her reason was "There are not many volcanic Titans so I thought that I shouldn't create Volcanic Type."
 * LordRado has the largest wingspan of all incarnations, surpassing the MonsterVerse's Rodan 265.5 meters. This Rodan is also the heaviest, coming in at 48,000 metric tons. However, he's not the tallest Rodan, for he is surpassed by the Millennium Rodan.
 * Rodan will get a redesign in future episodes.
 * Rodan's fireball make the Minecraft fireball firing sound.
 * Before February 3, Rodan had a wingspan of 570 meters. However, it has been later corrected to 370 meters.
 * "Honestly I don't even remember how I got 570 m, but I assume I accidentally typed 5 instead of 3 and forgot to change it."
