Yay for monster movies!! I'm guessing you guys know the stats on Godzilla.
Mothra
OriginMothra's origin is not well known. It was the guardian of an ancient race of tiny subteraneans named the Cosmos who lived on earth. The Cosmos civilization became very advanced but the Zen of Earth Lifeforce created Battra to kill Mothra and wipe out the Cosmos. Although Mothra defeated Battra, the civilization of the Cosmos was defeated and Mothra lay dormant for many years. In 1992 it hatches from an egg when Godzilla and Battra threaten Japan.
Worshipped as a benevolent god representing both love and renewal by the natives of Infant Island in the South Pacific, Mothra maintains a close telepathic contact with two tiny twin priestesses, the Shobijin (or Fairies). Its behavior patterns and communication abilities indicate an above average level of intelligence. It is one of the most beautiful of all monsters with its fuzzy body and colorfully patterned wings.
Mothra first appeared in Japan to recue her tiny, foot-tall twin priestesses, who had been kidnapped by an unscrupulous promoter (Mothra, 1961). Later, in Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964), humanity appealed to Mothra for help against Godzilla's aggression.

King Ghidorah
OriginGhidorah, the ultimate evil, is a planet-destroyer monster. It travels through space as a meteor but shows up as a golden, three-headed, bat-winged dragon with two tails.
Ghidorah first appeared in "Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster". A woman delivers a message from the martians (venusians) regarding the coming of an new monster that already destroyed Mars's (Venus’) city, Mellenia, before. Rodan and Godzilla were about to break out and start to destroy Japan when Mothra (in larva form) convinced both of them that they needed to work together to fight Ghidorah, who was just born out of a meteorite. Mothra first resisted Ghidorah alone but was about to give away then Godzilla and Rodan had a change of heart and helped defeat Ghidorah. It was a long fight but Ghidorah eventually retreated into space. Later the monstrous dragon lands on Planet X, where it tries to pursue its celestial reign of terror in the sequel Invasion of Astro-Monster (or Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, 1965). In his search for destruction, the monster alternatively teamed up with Gigan and was somehow manipulated by alien races, the Xians, the Kilaaks, and the Spacehunter Nebula aliens.
The new Ghidorah's (Heisei series) origin lay not in space but in the future. It was created from the atomic fusion of three genetically engineered creatures (called Dorats). His middle head severed by Godzilla, it was revived another time by an evil alien from the future (Futurian), who refurbished him as Mecha-King Ghidorah.
