Rebirth of Mothra II


Dagahra was an ancient creature created by the Nilai Kanai, a technologically advanced civilization that was part of the Mu empire, much like Manda. Dagahra's function was to consume the civilizations pollution, which it did well. However, as a side effect, Dagahras body began producing swarms of toxic starfish called Barems, which began infesting and poisoning the continent, driving the indigenous people into extinction.
Millenia later, Dagahra returned after a sudden increase in pollution levels and once again began releasing the Barems. The giant moth Leo nearly succeeded in defeating Dagahra, until the sea monster took the battle underwater where it was in its element. Dagahra incapacitated Leo, but before it could give the killing blow, Leo was revitilzed into his rainbow form. After taking a severe beating, Dagahra once again retreated into the water, where Leo in his new aqua form gave chase. In the ensuing fight, Dagahra and his barem swarms were destroyed.

He can shoot laser beams from his mouth or from the cannons on his shoulders, can shoot barems or toxins, fire energy rings, can create barem tornadoes, can create lightning, etc. Dagahra is much of a swimmer, but in the movie, he walks [one time only] and flies.
