Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah

Monster X is an extraterrestrial daikaiju that appeared in the 2004 movie, Godzilla Final Wars. He is a member of the Ghidorah family and Godzilla's final opponent.

When the Xilien's leader - known as the Controller - learns about Godzilla and the power the creature possesses after the Monster King battles and seemingly kills Gigan by blasting off its head, the Controller summons Monster X to Earth - with the creature concealed inside an asteroid and under the Xilien's control.

Monster X is shown to be a strong opponent, with him been able to levitate for a limited time while his skelental armour provided him with some durability against blunt attacks and Godzilla's atomic breath. Monster X could also fire Gravity beams from his eyes on his head and on the two smaller heads on his shoulders. If these beams collided with Godzilla's atomic breath, however, it would result in an almighty explosion strong enough to knock both monsters off their feet. Finally, Monster X could transform into his final form - Keizer Ghidorah.

As Keizer Ghidorah (also known as "Kaiser Ghidorah" and "Monster X II"), the monster's form became that of a three-headed dragon, with small wings and two seperate tails instead of one tail with two tips. Keizer Ghidorah maintains his Gravity beam attack - firing it out of the mouths of his three heads. However, the Gravity beams were shown as been able to actually 'grab' Godzilla - allowing Keizer Ghidorah to use them to drag Godzilla around the ruins of Tokyo and even levitate him into the air. Furthermore, the beams no longer reacted explosively when they connected with Godzilla's atomic breath. Finally, Keizer Ghidorah was shown as been able to absorb energy of its victims using its bite.

It's presumed that Kezier Ghidorah is capable of flight, despite not flying during the battle with Godzilla. Furthermore, the monster can still live with just one head if the other two are decapitated or destroyed.

Information
Following the Xilien invasion of Earth in 2004, a group of people from the Earth Defense Force headed on the EDF super submarine Gotengo/Atoragon to Antarctica in order to awaken Godzilla to fight off the monsters that the aliens were using to do their bidding. Despite been brought down by aerial attacks from the monster Gigan, the crew suceeded - with Godzilla engaging Gigan in battle and seemingly killing the extraterrestrial cryborg by blasting off its head. As the Xilien Controller learned of Godzilla, he summoned Monster X - which began to head towards Earth in an asteroid.

By the time Monster X reached Earth, Godzilla had fought and defeated all of the monsters that the Xiliens controlled (Zilla, Kumonga, Kamacuras, Angurius, Rodan, King Caesar, Ebirah and Hedorah) before arriving in Tokyo. Seeing the meteor heading towards the city, Godzilla charged up his atomic breath before unleashing it - the beam reaching into space and colliiding with the asteroid. The asteroid exploded over Tokyo, with Godzilla at the centre of the crater. Monster X - having emerged from the asteroid - descended on Tokyo. The two monsters stared each other down before beginning to attack each other both physically and with their energy attacks - with Godzilla roaring in pain after been hit by Monster X's gravity beams. As their battle continued, the Controller sent out a repaired and modified Gigan to deal with Mothra - who had arrived in Tokyo to aid Godzilla.

Unfortunately for Godzilla, the battle between Mothra and Gigan was only brief, with Gigan seemingly doing away with Mothra. With the Divine insect seemingly dealt with, Gigan joined forces with Monster X - double-teaming Godzilla. Against two strong enemies, Godzilla was outmatched, with Monster X restraining him before Gigan slashed Godzilla with his new dual chainsaws. However, as Gigan went for another slash, Godzilla managed to pull Monster X to one side - causing Gigan to hit Monster X instead and consequently release Godzilla as a result. Before either alien could attack the Monster King again, however, they were both knocked down by a hit from behind. The hit had come from Mothra, who had only been temporarily brought down. As Gigan abandoned his battle with Godzilla to again deal with Mothra, Godzilla and Monster X battled on.
