Description: These alien visitors consumed pollution, so Earth was top shelf for them. They can be cut in half, only to quickly reform. If enough of these initially 1-mm tadpoles gained critical mass, they could combine into Land Hedorah. They were comprised of a toxic sludge that was acidic to the touch, and they also had acidic spit. They were completely immune to radiation and Godzilla's atomic ray.

Description: Once strong enough, the Tadpoles could combine forces and shamble onto land, allowing them to feed on even more sources of rich, tasty pollution, like factory smokestacks. Once enough of these monsters reached critical mass, they would fuse into the Flyer Hedorah, or, if needed, split back into a number of Tadpoles.

Description: After enough pollution has been consumed, Land Hedorahs could combine into the Flyer Hedorah. This monster released an acidic mist in flight that was very lethal to humans, killing thousands in Japan. It could also fire twin red energy beams from its eyes.

Description: The fully-evolved Smog Monster, Hedorah could divide into its smaller aggregate forms as needed, and then reform again. The more pollution there was, the bigger Hedorah would get. The final form produced incredible amounts of toxic sludge, and its eye energy beams were toxic, as well. Godzilla could only stop it with the help of civilization, finally dehydrating the abomination between two electrodes. Humans won't even share their pollution with monsters.

Description: A much larger Hedorah was used by the Xilian aliens in an unsuccessful bid to conquer the Earth. This creature was quickly dispatched by the King of the Monsters, perhaps because it was under alien control and not fighting to the best of its ability, or maybe this monster was depressed and just didn't care. Regardless, this kaiju (strange creature) was no longer immune to Godzilla's atomic ray.
