The Legend of Mothra

Mothra is the benevolent protector of Infant Island and is telepathically linked with the Small Beauties of Infant Island. In its larval form, Mothra uses its silken cocoon for defense. The adult Mothra can fly at high speed, and uses strong winds and poison pollen as defensive weapons. An eternal monster whose spirit is reborn in each succeeding generation, its egg hatches two caterpillars which succeed in encasing Godzilla in a silken cocoon after the adult version has been killed by the reptile. One of the caterpillars dies after the battle with Godzilla, but the survivor teams with Godzilla and Rodan to drive King Ghidorah from Earth. After maturing into an adult, Mothra rescues the kidnapped natives of Infant Island from Letchi Island, briefly engaging Godzilla in battle. After being confined to Ogasawara Island, a larval Mothra is freed and directed by the Kilaaks to attack Peking and Tokyo.
