Rodan's Roost
Description: Battra is one of the few kaiju (strange creatures) to have defeated Mothra. Battra as an imago (adult form) could no longer swim well or burrow at all, but he could fly at Mach 3. He loses the wicked horn, but was able to focus the formerly inaccurate energy blasts into more powerful and controlled purple prism beams. He later allied with Mothra to beat Godzilla, but the mutant monster made him pay dearly for it.
