Mothra

Mothra (モスラ Mosura) is a giant divine moth Titan who appeared in Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy.

Mothra's goal is not only to save Earth from invasive space threats, but is also to protect life on planet. Her healing powers can help other Titans in recovering and gaining strength, and her ability to reincarnate makes her nearly immortal. She can also use her psychic abilities to see things or events that no other creature can see.

Mothra does have symbiotic relations with the Gojira species, and she will do anything to protect them. Back in 1995, she sacrificed herself to help Rozan defeat Destoroyah, and in 2014, she helped Godzilla during his fight with Jinshin-Mushi.

Name
The name "Mothra" is the suffixation of "-ra" (a common last syllable in kaiju names) to "moth." Since the Japanese language does not have dental fricatives, it is approximated "Mosura" in Japanese. Originally, Mothra's name was approximated in English as "Mosla," but it was later corrected to "Mothra" by the time of the release of her debut film.

Design
The old design of LordVerse incarnation has the exact same basic design as the MonsterVerse Mothra, with subtle differences. Her winged color patterns are a difference. While the MonsterVerse Mothra goes from Green-Cyan to Orange to Red, the LordVerse Mothra goes Blue-Green to Red to Orange-Yellow. The LordVerse Mothra has more notable eyelashes, a fur layer at the front of her wings, hind limbs and has curved horns.

The new design has this basis as well, only its abdomen is a lot thinner, reminiscent of the GMK Mothra. She retains most of the traits of the MonsterVerse Mothra.

Mothra's larval stage was based on MonsterVerse and Millennium Mothra Larva. This incarnation has also some traits from real life caterpillars. She has 4 small blue eyes, small tusks, hairs on her back and a tail spike. She's brown in color with grayish-blue belly and yellow dots on her sides.

Origins
Mothra is a divine Titan that lives in Crystal caverns below Infant Island. Ancient civilizations worshipped her as a Goddess and Guardian. A magical symbol that resembles Sun could've been used to either summon kaiju, contact with her or call for help. To help humans understand her, Mothra created Shobijin fairies, who can appear in minds of people as a vision.

Episode One - The Arrival
Mothra appeared to scientists Tom and Polly in a vision. There, the Shobijin, Mothra's priestesses, told the two that the Xiliens were servants of evil and that they will take humanity as their slaves. After Godzilla was rescued by Rodan, Mothra gathered up with the two and Anguirus, as Godzilla roared defiantly.

Mothra is seen with Godzilla after the EDF examines and takes pictures of the other side of their base's island.

Abilities
Although not shown on screen yet, Mothra is said to have many notable abilities.

Clairvoyance
Mothra can see into the future and predict what will happen, but only vaguely will she tell you. She uses this to warn humanity about the Xiliens' true intentions.

Telepathy
Mothra can telepathically communicate with the Shobijin, being her priestesses. She can also telepathically communicate with the Godzilla species.

Flight
Mothra cab fly at impressive speeds, although her top speed is unknown.

Gale-Force Winds
By flapping her wings, Mothra can create Hurricane-like winds that can destroy buildings.

Claws
Like the MonsterVerse incarnation, Mothra can use her front limbs as claws to slash other Titans.

Silk
Like all Mothra incarnations, she can spit silk.

Asexual Reproduction
Mothra can lay her egg without having to breed. She can also lay it before she knows she's going to die. This grants her immortality, where she is reborn by her egg, while keeping her old memories intact.

Poisonous Stinger
Mothra has a stinger at the end of her thorax, like the MonsterVerse Mothra.

Durability
Mothra is durable enough to endure against heavy conventional weaponry. However, any energy-based attacks from other Titans can damage her severely.

Deflector Scales
Like the Heisei Mothra, the LordVerse Mothra has scales that can reflect any energy-based beam attacks.

Healing Mist Powder
She can heal the terrain and wildlife around her by releasing a mist of some beneficial substance.

Energy Transferral
Like the MonsterVerse Mothra, when Mothra is killed, her life force (as ashes) will rain upon a Titan to empower it.

Bioluminescence
Mothra can emit very brightly in the sky.

God Rays
A variation of her use of Bioluminescence, she can flash this at her opponent, which can blind them very badly.

Weaknesses
Mothra's wings cannot last long after a direct hit from a Titan's attack.

She cannot heal very rapidly as well; during battle, she can't heal at all.
