King Ghidorah's origins?

We still have a longs way until KotM comes out and with all the speculation what King Ghidorah's origin might be I thought it'd be warrant a thread of its own. What do you guys think might be the origin of the cosmic terror?

There's been talks about him being an alien, others an earth monster to even some supernatural demon considering Dougherty's past works which wouldn't surprise me if that was the case or perhaps his origins might be even shrouded in mystery and only implying what his origin is.

For me I'm hoping alien but only implying he is one and the rest being kept as mystery although I'd be all up for the whole supernatural demon route or perhaps even being an earth monster in origin in a way still has alien connections like contact with these alien microbes/bacteria that mutated him coming to earth through this meteorite or whatever.

Discuss.

If I had to give a guess, I would say they're going to keep it a mystery, to make him more eerie and unidentifiable.

That's what I'm personally hoping for too although I expect they might imply what his origin is whether alien or supernatural demon (Considering Dougherty's previous works).

I *want* it to be alien, like he always has been. I would be okay with demon from hell. I'm afraid its probably going to be more mundane though "oh three snakes and a bat fused in the nuclear blast when we tried to kill Godzilla in the 50's!" lol. Fingers crossed for intergalactic alien planet killer!

Except he hasn't always been an alien, like in GvKG and GMK.

I chose alien, but I'd also be ok with a mystery.

Man, that would be so stupid lol. The funny thing is, they would probably do that because of "realism," despite the fact that aliens are far more realistically possible than something like this happening.

Obviously, I should have put "originally." My bad. GvKG they are kind of aliens. I mean they had androids and ufo time machines! But I guess not technically. He was an alien in the his various forms in the Mothra trilogy too wasn't he?

The odds are that he will be an alien again, but I’d be fine if they go a similar route as 1991 with him being a mutation.

This poll is hilariously lopsided.

Giant creature frozen in the ocean, covered in frozen, material that "isn't found on earth".

He NEEDS to be alien if they want to stay with the whole "nature always wins" thematic of the Monsterverse, that would make him an actual opposite of this Godzilla, a true antagonist and not just some natural competence and stuff like that.

Being alien doesn't make something unnatural. Unless your point is that he's not native to Earth's ecosystem?

One idea I recommended that way he keeps his alien routes as I said in the OP is he could've once been an earth monster but exposure to these alien microbes/bacteria that arrived on earth by a meteor or whatever mutated him hence why he has three head.

I hope he is an alien, one that ancient humans revered as a God. (Or have humanoid aliens bring him to Earth, and they are revered, and he is like a punishment)

I’m not one of those people whose overly harsh on Heisei and Millenium Ghidorah, but it’s about time to bring Alien Ghidorah back, esp because it would tie into his original origins in GTTHM.

What if he starts out as a normal creature but gets infected by some sort of alien infection and mutates into his 3-headed form?

That's the only idea of him being an earth monster I'd be down for, that way it still has his alien connection.

That's needlessly complicated compared to just having him pop out of a meteor.
