Didn't think that was what you meant, I was going off some earlier concept art shared in another thread that gave her said upright posture and I wasn't sure if that was also what you considered. Regardless these are GIANT monsters so any sort of movements based on their real-life counterparts will be loosely based at best.
Official early concept art of the monsters was leaked?
No, it was a fan piece.

Ill be happy if they keep Mothras appearance and story similar to MvG and Tokyo S.O.S. where Mothra dies, hopefully in a more glorifying fashion, and the two Mothra larvae hatch and fight the other kaiju. Just show that only one larva becomes the next Mothra, while maybe further going in depth how Mothra never really dies and is similar to a phoenix. Also if before she dies her pollen/scales are shown to be more effective and harmful and potent even after shes fallen

I'm really curious how she's going to look in the MonsterVerse.

HOLY SHIT! Mothra design leaked:

MODERATOR EDIT: Please do not post fake leaks in here, no matter how funny they may be. It's easy to derail the thread with them.

^I'd recommend deleting that, Ryguy. The mods said they're handing out warnings for joke leaks too. They're not fooling around.

So Mothra's gonna be bio-luminescence.

A great way to make her feel mystical like a goddess while also making sense from the natural perspective since we have bugs that do that.

Yes. Please don't post fake leaks in the threads, regardless of how funny they are. I admit, I got a laugh, but it's easy to horribly derail the thread with them.

Out of curiosity why can't we post jokes? It's not really hurting anyone is it?

Jokes in and of themselves are fine, but when it concerns leaks... it's very easy for a discussion to steamroll out of control. We want to keep the forums as stable and in control as possible, and we take all forms of leaks, even obvious joke images, seriously. Derzerb has a post in the announcement thread for this subforum that goes over it in more detail, and if you still have questions, you can PM him.

Thought about more, Mothra being able to brighten or dim would be a cool way to make her emote.

But see it's not even a leak. It's a total joke. It's a picture of a cartoon caterpillar. And Ryguy posted and nothing got out of control. A few people laughed and that's it. I just dont see the harm and foul. Seems to be a bit overboard. I'll PM Derz

Okay we get it, the guy got a warning for a dumb joke, can we actually talk about Mothra?

I was just thinking about how that one "leaker" said Mothra had tentacles and one of the images teasing her on Monarchsciences.com depicts her in a cave painting with long legs and so did that alleged skectch, maybe he was referring to her long legs and not tentacles? Maybe they fold up under her and she looks more like a classic Mothra but when she fights they look longer?
