History[]

Godzilla Island[]

In the year 2097, the Matango resided on Matango Island, the island neighboring Godzilla Island. A monster called Neo Hedorah left the island and attacked Godzilla Island, spreading the Matango with it. The Matango were able to infect the local kaiju, growing on their skin and draining their energy. Thankfully, Misato discovered a way to kill Neo Hedorah and the Matango it produced by exposing them to temperatures higher than 10,000 degrees Celsius. Rodan transformed into Fire Rodan and used his heat beam to destroy Neo Hedorah and the Matango.
