Appearance At first, Biollante was a giant rose with teeth inside her bud and long vines (merely a heavily-mutated and exceptionally large "thinking" rose). In her second form, the Godzilla genes took over and Biollante's body became an abomination of biological science. Biollante's second form had a head like a mosasaur's and a maw with knife-like teeth, even on the interior lining of her mouth. In addition, six large tusks (three on each side of her mouth) protruded from the fulcrum-region of her mouth. Large numbers of vines and tendrils were a primary feature of Biollante. Some vines ended in sharp, spear-like ends, while others sported small, sharp-toothed mouths. In Biollante's first form, a large, fleshy sac was surrounded by her overlaying vines. What this object was has never been determined. In her second form, what appeared to be meaty flesh was seen underneath the tangled mess of vines and plant-tissue. The fleshy surface was pink and had many wrinkles and lines, resembling a brain-like surface. Subfamilies Mosasaurinae Plioplatecarpinae Tylosaurinae Mosasaurs (from Latin Mosa, the Meuse river where the fossils were first discovered + Greek sauros, lizard) were serpentine marine reptiles, more closely related to snakes than to monitor lizards (Lee 1997). ...
Abilities Biollante, in her rose form, can constrict and grapple with an enemy with numerous vines, some of which end with fanged mouths that not only able to bite an opponent but are capable of spitting a highly corrosive acid sap that can blind an opponent. If severely injured, Biollante can dissolve into golden energy spores and ascend into space to recover. In Biollante's rose form, her cellular division was abnormally affected by Godzilla's atomic beam, resulting in heavy bodily damage and prompting a temporary retreat. After regaining her strength, Biollante returns to face Godzilla again and her "monster side" is revealed which transforms her into a horrible plant abomination sporting a massive jawed head with countless teeth and enormous tusks; an arched back with plate-like plant spines; and four stubby, root-like legs that Biollante utilizes as a means of locomotion. Biollante retains all previous abilities as well as gaining the ability to spit large quantities of radioactive corrosive sap from her large mouth (the radiation is clearly visible as orange energy spores within the sap stream) which is powerful enough to stun Godzilla, and, you can also notice when she is about to fire it from her mouth, green electricity flows over her whole head, and then she launches the radiation. In addition to her fanged tentacles, Biollante's monster form upgraded her other vines to be tipped with sharp spines that are capable of piercing another monster's flesh relatively easily. Despite her plant-like body and rather unwieldy appearance, Biollante is capable of moving across the ground rather quickly. This article is about the character itself. ...
Origin After Godzilla's return in 1984, the city of Tokyo, Japan had suffered a great deal of destruction. During the aftermath and cleanup, forensic workers collected small remains of skin from Godzilla, which were later transported to a government lab facility in the arid wasteland of Saradia. A scientist by the name of Dr. Shiragami intended to use the genetic material of the Godzilla cells in the skin to genetically enhance various species of plants to create crops resistant to harsh weather and unfavorable conditions of Saradia. Unfortunately, numerous other nations did not approve of this move in agricultural wealth-as Saradia relied on exports for its produce-and an act of terrorism was put into plan to bomb the laboratory working with the cells. Amongst the scientists who lost their lives was Erika Shiragami, Dr. Shiragami's daughter. Her loss was terrible to him, and he proceeded to collect DNA from his daughter and splice it with that of a rosebush in hopes of preserving his daughter's spiritual entity. Five years later, in 1989, an earthquake destroyed the roses' shelter, thereby killing several. Dr. Shiragami panicked, and carried out a risky and unauthorized plan to splice the Godzilla DNA with a lone rose, in hopes that the rose would remain alive and hopefully invincible. However, the seemingly successful fusion of the cells resulted in the slow but eventual growth and mutation of the rose, which eventually became capable of thinking and moving, and eventually proceeded to smash its way through the laboratory wall, making its way to Lake Ashino, where it rooted itself and took up residence there.
First Battle Biollante's first encounter with Godzilla was inevitable. Godzilla had actually sensed the presence of another living being with the same genetic makeup as himself, and felt an uncontrollable urge to travel to the originating site of this feeling. It was also mentioned by Miki Saegusa, an individual endowed with ESP, that Biollante had been "calling out to Godzilla" (whether or not this calling was intentional or not was never explained). Biollante, in her first encounter, fought defensively with wave after wave of tangling vines. Despite the great effort that the plant/monster hybrid exerted, it failed miserably and took heavy damage from Godzilla's atomic beam. Godzilla eventually managed to set Biollante aflame as Biollante seemingly burned to death. However, it was reaffirmed that Biollante was immortal as everyone watched Biollante begin dissolving into energy particles to ascend into space.
Final Battle
Biollante and Godzilla in their final battle. Later on, Biollante confronted Godzilla again, this time at her own will. Their second battle had clearly turned the offensive/defensive tables. Now, Biollante was clearly pursuing and fighting Godzilla offensively, to eliminate his threat to the inhabitants of Earth. Whereas, Godzilla was now fighting with all his might to defend against such a colossus who fought more mercilessly than the King of the Monsters himself. The outcome of the battle resulted in Godzilla retreating as Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria began to take effect, slowly weakening him. He clumsily lumbered to the coast, collapsing into the sea face first, laying apparently unconscious. Biollante, on the other hand, had also suffered a devastating blow when Godzilla fired a blast of his beam directly into Biollante's throat, blowing out her back. She was forced to retreat as well, and dissolved into spores again and ascended into space, likely never to be seen again. Shortly after, Godzilla regained strength from the cooling waters of the ocean (which stopped the breeding of the bacteria) and headed out to sea to recuperate.

Aftermath Through the years up until 1994, stray particles of Biollante's DNA might have become lost in space, and eventually gone through a complex process of galactic mutation, resulting in the creation of one of Godzilla's toughest foes, SpaceGodzilla. There has been controversy over who the true carrier of the DNA was, with Mothra being the other possible candidate. Some of SpaceGodzilla's physical appearance points to Biollante being the creature more likely to be involved in its origin, but because Toho has not taken a clear stance on the issue, it is left to conjecture.

Trivia - Biollante has recently been confirmed to appear in Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash but will be considerably larger than her movie counterpart.
- Biollante is confirmed to be playable in Godzilla: Unleashed.
- In Marc Cerasini's Godzilla: At World's End, Biollante is a genetically engineered monster created by a nearly-extinct race of crystalline beings known as the Old Ones. Biollante remained stationary (possibly in a state of hibernation) within the Old Ones' lost city until the arrival of a group of human explorers and (soon after) Godzilla. After nearly killing Godzilla, Biollante is set on fire by Godzilla, and although the flames were put when the city was flooded, it can be assumed that Biollante was killed when cavern containing the Old Ones' Necropolis collapses. This version of Biollante has no connection to Godzilla.
