King Ghidorah is a major playable monster in the Atari Godzilla Trilogy, appearing in all three games. He is portrayed as a significant member of the Aliens faction, and is seen as one of Vorticias' favorite monsters in the cutscenes for the later installments, and is a boss in the Earth Defenders' storyline.

The character's design has shared elements from all incarnations of the character prior to 2018, but in the first two games and Unleashed's PS2 version, he resembles the version from the 1991 film, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. The new model created for the third game includes new elements from the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

Biography

If Gigan is the hammer of the Vortaak invasion forces, then Ghidorah is the anvil. Ghidorah is the most physically powerful monster in the universe, and blends immense size, incredible strength and near invulnerability into a unified engine of monstrous destruction. The Vortaak often hesitate to deploy King Ghidorah at all, lest he demolish their enemies and leave nothing to subjugate. Ghidorah is at home in the vacuum of space, and travels between planets under his own power. King Ghidorah's wings allow him to fly in Earth's atmosphere, though his great mass hinders his aerial mobility. He naturally generates intense electrical energy that he unleashes as a powerful Triple Gravity Beam from his three heads. Despite all of this, King Ghidorah's greatest asset is his incredible ability to withstand damage - all known forms of attack splinter against his thick golden scales.

Trivia
