BATTRA

Battra is solely concerned with the defense of the Earth, and will do whatever he can to protect it. Unlike Mothra, Battra sees humanity as a blight on the Earth that must be destroyed if the planet is to survive. Battra has made it his mission to eradicate the human race, which puts him into conflict with Mothra. However, despite his initial malevolent personality, he has occasionally shown heroic traits, as seen when he decided to help Mothra after Godzilla nearly killed her and sacrificed his life in the ensuing battle. It is later revealed that he intended to protect the planet from the impact of an incoming meteor, and asked Mothra to intercept it in his place in the event of his death. He retains a personality similar to this in some other media such as the Random House book Godzilla vs. the Space Monster, the Polygon Pictures anime trilogy prequel novel GODZILLA: Project Mechagodzilla, and the IDW comic one-shot Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Battra, though in each of these Battra seems more readily willing to ally with Mothra and/or humanity against greater threats than he was in Godzilla vs. Mothra.

In Godzilla Island, Battra has a very different personality as a pawn of the Xiliens who assists them in some of their attempts to take over Godzilla Island and therefore the Earth, showing no regard for the planet whatsoever. The 15th story arc expands on his backstory by showing how he was originally a resident of Godzilla Island whose rivalry with Mother Mothra led to her hiding one of her eggs at the base of Mt. Gorath to protect it from him. Battra thus developed a grudge and hatred of Mothra, presumably joining the Xiliens as a result.

Battra has varying allegiances in the multiple IDW comics, often showing a personality similar to his original onscreen appearance but also sometimes acting in a more explicitly villainous manner. In the first multi-title IDW continuity, made up of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Godzilla, and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Battra is a more malevolent kaiju who does not seem to have any care for the welfare of the Earth. However, he is virtually always under the control of the psychic twins Minette and Mallory, in a twisted version of Mothra's releationship with her Shobijin. Under their influence, he causes destruction, seeks out battle with other kaiju such as Godzilla, and brutally takes revenge against Mothra on their behalf by killing her and destroying Infant Island. However, he may not naturally be this aggressive when not under the twins' control, as he allies with Titanosaurus against the space monster SpaceGodzilla in Godzilla. After King Caesar kills Minette and Mallory in Rulers of Earth, Battra withdraws and is not seen again, as he does not take place in the final battle between Earth's kaiju and the alien Trilopods.

Battra has more minor roles in Godzilla: Gangsters & Goliaths, Godzilla: The Half-Century War, Godzilla: Cataclysm, Godzilla: Oblivion, and Godzilla: Rage Across s, Battra usually lives peacefully on Monster Island but goes on a rampage with the other residents of the island when the Elias are kidnapped, ceasing his offensive when they are returned.

Appearance: Battra's final design was created by Minoru Yoshida, and the suit and props were modeled based on a "replica" of the design. The modelers were instructed by Toho to make the monster's design "flashy," and as such the larva and imago were both made very colorful. Special effects director Koichi Kawakita stated that Battra's imago stage was portrayed using props while the larva was portrayed using a suit worn by "Hurricane" Ryu Hariken because the imago's movements were more "monotonous." Only one suit was created for Battra's larval stage, and was composed of two halves which could be separated or rejoined depending on what the scene required. Some shots required the suit's lower half to be removed because its feet interfered with Hariken walking. The larva's long tail had a built-in wheel system which allowed it to move independently, and for scenes of Battra swimming the suit was filmed with no actor inside and mechanisms causing the wheels to move. There were two imago Battra props, both with radio-controlled moving parts: a ten-shaku (3.5 meter) and a three-shaku (1 meter) prop. Most action shots from the film's final battle utilized the smaller of the two props.Like Mothra, Battra has both larva and imago forms. Battra's imago form has a predominately black body with very large wings that have patterns of red, black and yellow. He also has yellow horns on his head, six legs, and red eyes which glow purple when firing his beam, as well as a red line which runs down his body's sides.

His larval form is mostly black but with a lot of yellow and a dark red underside. He also has a giant horn, similar to Destoroyah's, which is yellow and glows when he uses his beam attacks, and two tusks on each cheek. Battra's larval form also has bigger, more powerful legs than Mothra's larval form, which are yellow and horn-like. Much like his imago form, his eyes are red. Battra's larval form is also, physically, much larger than Mothra's, being almost as large as Godzilla himself.65-foot body length and 857-foot wingspan, or a special color version of a model kit with a 10-inch larva length and a 13.2-inch wingspan.

Over 12,000 years ago, there was a guardian of the Earth named Mothra. At that time, there was an advanced civilization on Earth and the Cosmos were in perfect order. But then something terrible happened. Some scientists created a device to control Earth's climate. This device greatly offended the Earth.”Masako Tezuka: “Offended the Earth?”Cosmos: “The Earth is a living being. It can also be offended.”Masako Tezuka: “Since its climate was being controlled, it felt that it was in danger.”Cosmos: “Oh, yes it did. So it created the Black Mothra.”Takuya Fujito: “The Black Mothra?”Cosmos: “Yes, my friend. Battra was its name, and it was a very fierce beast. It destroyed everything and anything that was endangering the life of the Earth.”― The Cosmos explaining the history of Mothra and Battra to Takuya Fujito, Masako Tezuka, and Kenji Ando (Godzilla vs. Mothra)Battra (バトラ Batora) is a dark divine moth kaiju who first appeared in the 1992 Toho Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Mothra.

A dark counterpart of Mothra, Battra was created by the Earth itself 12,000 years ago after an ancient civilization created a climate-controlling device. Battra served his purpose and destroyed the device, but came to see all of humanity as a blight on the planet and sought to exterminate the human race. Mothra took issue with this and fought Battra in a battle that caused the utter destruction of the ancient world, finally defeating and sealing him in the Arctic Ocean. In 1993, a meteor impacted the Earth and reawakened Battra, who continued his ancient crusade against mankind. He attacked Nagoya in his larval form and eventually challenged Godzilla himself to battle, only to vanish after falling into a volcanic fault. However, Battra soon resurfaced in his imago form and traveled to Yokohama for a final clash with Mothra. When Godzilla arrived as well, Mothra and Battra decided to put aside their differences to fight against their common foe. Mothra and Battra successfully defeated Godzilla, but at the cost of Battra's life. Battra's only film appearance to date came in 1992's Godzilla vs. Mothra, though he has made appearances in official non-film media such as video games and comic
