Mothra
Giant winged kaiju
Mothra is a giant moth-like creature from Japanese monster films, first appearing in 1961 and recurring in the Godzilla franchise.
Unlike most kaiju, Mothra is typically portrayed as benevolent—a protector deity worshipped by tiny twin priestesses.
The name blends "moth" with the "-ra" suffix from Godzilla (Gojira).
Mothra has become iconic in monster cinema, often allied with humanity against destructive kaiju.
