Created as a sort of blueprint for what would
end up being Battra in Godzilla
vs. Mothra (1992), Gigamoth was perceived
as a dark, pollution spawned, twin of Mothra.
The creature shares some resemblance to Yoshimitsu
Banno's Hedorah, from his 1971 film Godzilla
vs. Hedorah. While not having any appearance link, the creature does have similar powers with
acidic mist and his immunity to Godzilla's ray and
his pollution inspired origin.
Quite a bit of
concept art for the creature was created before
the project as a whole was eventually scrapped. A lot of this concept art was then rolled
over and reconsidered for Battra.
Note: No picture of Gigamoth exists beyond
concept art drawings. The above conception
of him was done through Toho Kingdom's interpretation
of the concept drawing.
