Also known as: The Black Mothra
Description:
Battra, or the Black Mothra, represents evil, while Mothra represents good. He first appeared in Godzilla and
Mothra: The Battle for Earth when a meteor awoke him, Godzilla, and Mothra. An interesting note is how close in design is
the adult Battra's face to that of old series monster Megalon's. He first attacked Mothra and Godzilla at sea as a larval
form, and then he and Godzilla were swallowed up by a volcano. He then reappeared later on from the sea, as an adult moth.
He headed for the volcano from which Godzilla had just emerged. He and Godzilla fought, and Mothra joined in and became friends
with Battra. The two moths defeated Godzilla, and flew him out to sea. On the way, Godzilla bit into Battra's neck, killing
the already injured monster. Battra died and fell into the sea, still attached to Godzilla.
