ShodaiGaru

The ShodaiGaru is the Garu Garu Puppet used in Rebirth of Mothra and Rebirth of Mothra II.

Name
The ShodaiGaru is named from Shodai, meaning 'First Generation', and 'Garu Garu'.

Detail
In comparison to the RaishuGaru puppet, the ShodaiGaru is more organic in design. It has a beige underbelly and wings. Two puppets were made, with one representing Garu Garu after it lost its disguise. In Rebirth of Mothra, the first puppet was modified to look more robotic, with its wings being supported by pistons, and weapons being attached to its side.
