Powers and Abilities

The majority of Death Ghidorah's powers involve the draining of energy. His body constantly discharges a mist which drains the life from every living thing in his vicinity and transfers the energy to him. The amount of energy absorbed is proportionate to the victims age, therefore trees are favoured due to their longer lifespans.


Unlike his cousin King Ghidorah, Death Ghidorah's mouths fire a combination of fire, magma and energy blasts rather than gravity beams. Though seemingly slow in flight, official sources indicate he is capable of speeds far greater than those achieved by King Ghidorah. In the movie it is stated that he was not at full power when facing Mothra Leo.

Rebirth of Mothra

Death Ghidorah was an extraterrestrial dragon responsible for the destruction of the civilizations of Mars and the extinction of the Elias (the tiny humanoids who served Mothra's species) before finally being defeated and sealed into a tomb by the anscestors of Mothra.


Death Ghidorah developed over the years following its defeat, eventually being awakened by a logging operation in Hokkaido. The beast had been sealed away by Mothra whilst it was developing, but the foreman removed the binding seal and thus alerted the wicked fairy Belvera to the discovery. Belvera secured the seal and released the monster, hoping to control him. Her sisters, the good Elias, soon arrived, summoning Mothra to again defeat the dreaded beast. But Mothra could not prevail against Death Ghidorah. Mothra ) is a kaiju, a type of fictional monster who first appeared in the novel The Luminous Fairies and Mothra by Takehiko Fukunaga. ...


Sensing her distress, the unborn Mothra caterpillar emerged from its egg and came to its mother's aid. Even this was not enough, and Death Ghidorah drove both of his enemies away. The elder Mothra expired from wounds received in the battle. The younger sought out a mystic 10,000 year old tree, employing its ancient energies to transform into an even more powerful adult Mothra. The new Mothra, Leo lost little time in renewing the battle, handedly defeating Death Ghidorah and with the help of the Elias, once more imprisoning him within his mountain. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Mothra. ...

Rodan's Roost: Kaiju Stats: Grand Ghidorah (776 words)
Ghidorah's ability to fly is based more upon an anti-gravity ability than it is on actual flight, as evidenced by his ability to remain airborne even with one wing removed.
Ghidorah's most unique ability, however, is to teleport desired food items to a pulsating, organic dome of his own creation to extract their life essence at his leisure.
Weary, at the point of death, Mothra crumpled on the ground and was encased in a cocoon of silk by three ancient Mothra caterpillars.
Death Ghidorah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (426 words)
Death Ghidorah (デスギドラ) is a secondary Ghidorah battled by Mothra in the film Rebirth of Mothra.
Death Ghidorah apparently grew from one of Grand King Ghidorah's tails severed by Mothra in the cretacous Period.
A brutal engine of destruction, Death Ghidorah tends to spend more time blasting the countryside then attacking his foe, combined with his problems focussing on a task and his short attention span, this well explains his defeat at the talons of the far weaker Mothra.
