description
Ghidorah landed on earth by meteorite from space. In the 1991 Godzilla - Duel of the Megasaurs ( Gojira vs. Kingu Gidora , 1991) it is a product of genetically modified pets and in the 2001 Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monster All-Out Attack ( Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Gidora: Daikaijū Sōkōgeki ) a mythological deity who sleeps for a thousand years under the forests of Mount Fuji .
This three-headed rather popular Godzilla monster is 100 to 150 meters tall (it has grown over time). It has a wingspan of 150 to 250 meters and weighs 30,000 to 70,000 tons (it's also got heavier over time).
He's also the greatest kaijū from the Godzilla films.
weapons
As the most common weapon, it uses electromagnetic discharges or lightning (gravitational lightning), which can come from all three mouths. The middle head also masters a fire breath. In Mothra III - King Ghidora Returns ( Mosura 3: Kingu Gidora raishu , 1998), King Ghidorah can also emit lightning from his wings. By flapping its wings, the monster generates winds at three times the speed of sound (Mach 3), destroying cities and knocking down other monsters.
