Appearance


Destoroyah grows quickly and adopts several appearances throughout the film, including insect-sized, 2-meter, and 18-meter crablike forms, a larger aggregate crablike form, a batlike flying form, and a bipedal 120-meter final form.Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.


Origin


Destoroyah first emerges as it's small, crab like form. It is inside
of an aquarium and destroys many of the fish. It eventually escapes and
grows into its 2-meter form, destroying a bridge and then hiding in a
factory. The Japan Self-Defense Forces
(JSDF) sends in numerable soldiers to attempt to destroy the crabs, but
their assault rifles cause no damage to the creatures, who badly wound
and kill a number of JSDF. Eventually the JSDF attacks them with flamethrowers,
badly wounding the aggregates and causing them to retreat. It becomes
known that the aggregates are vulnerable to extreme heat or cold.
The JSDF deploy a squadron of Maser Tanks and missile batteries
armed with Ultra Low Temperature lasers (ULT Lasers) and cooling
shells. When the aggregates emerge again, they begin bombarding them
with the freezing barrage. It seems to be working against the beasts,
until they all converge on one position and merge into one giant crab
monster. The giant aggregate then transforms into a giant bat-like form
and flies away.
When trying to think of another way to defeat the destructive
monster, the JSDF decide to try and lure Godzilla to Destoroyah. They
reluctantly agree to the plan, despite protests from the psychic Miki
Saegusa, and decide to lure Godzilla Junior
to Destoroyah, knowing Godzilla will follow. Miki and another psychic
fly out to Junior and use their psychic powers to make him change his
course for Tokyo. When Junior arrives, Destoroyah attacks him in its
flying form. Junior is battered by the stronger monster, until he gets
off a lucky shot and brings the flying form down. Destoroyah quickly
recovers, attacking Junior in its giant aggregate form. Destoroyah pins
Junior beneath its massive body and tears into his skin with its double
jaw, injecting him with micro-oxygen. When all hope seems lost, Junior
fires one last blast at Destoroyah, knocking it into the air. Junior
then fires one final radioactive burst, sending Destoroyah flying into
a factory.
When Godzilla finally arrives in Tokyo, the final form of Destoroyah
rises from the fires of the factory. The vile behemoth takes to the air
and flies toward Godzilla and his son, striking the Godzilla to the
ground and grabbing Junior in its massive claws. it flies high into the
air and drops Junior, sending the young monster plummeting to the
ground. Destoroyah then blasts Junior with its Micro-Oxygen Beam,
killing the young monster.
Godzilla, witnessing the death of his son, rises from the ground, a
violent new rage burning in his veins. Destoroyah lands and bellows at
Godzilla, challenging him to a final battle. Destoroyah proves to be a
powerful and vicious opponent, even for Godzilla in his most powerful
form. It batters the monster king with bursts of micro-oxygen rays and
pummels him to the ground with its mass. Destoroyah then wraps its tail
around Godzilla and drags him out to sea, dropping him in the ocean.
Godzilla returns to shore and unleashes his full fury upon Destoroyah,
causing the demon to spurt vast amounts of blood and finally explode.
Destoroyah quickly counter attacks in its multiple small aggregate
forms. As they swarm upon Godzilla, the monster king is overwhelmed by
the mass and unleashes a powerful nuclear pulse, destroying the
aggregates.
After Godzilla fails to revitalize his fallen son, the grief in his heart causes his meltdown
to begin to go critical. The JSDF quickly dispatches the Super X-III
and the maser tanks armed with freezing masers to stop Godzilla's
meltdown. As Godzilla continues to mourn his son and his nuclear heart
begins to overload, Destoroyah returns again. The evil beast strangles
Godzilla with its tail and then throws Godzilla away from his son and
prepares to battle again. Godzilla rises, and his spines begin to melt
as the meltdown begins. The overload of power causes Godzilla's fire
breath to increase in power to exponential levels. Godzilla unleashes
his fury upon Destoroyah, who is burned and torn apart by the fiery
blasts. Sensing that it is going to lose the fight, Destoroyah takes to
the skies to escape. The JSDF quickly turn their freeze masers on the
escaping monster, destroying its wings. Destoroyah then plummets to the
ground, the freezing blasts from the lasers causing its body to rapidly
deteriorate. Destoroyah falls to the ground in front of Godzilla and
evaporates into a cloud of mist on impact, finally destroyed.

Powers and abilities


Destoroyah's primary weapon was a Micro-Oxygen Ray from its mouth,
which could destroy oxygen atoms, dissolve organic matter, and emit
destructive energy. Micro-Oxygen is also known to penetrate any metal.
Destoroyah's horn could change into a blade of energy powerful enough
to cut through Godzilla's flesh. It was also able to divide itself into
smaller, aggregate forms which would combine again to form its final
form. Its general design, in its aggregate form, is reminiscent of the Xenomorphs in the Alien movies, complete with double jaws. Destoroyah later appeared in two of Atari's Godzilla video games, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and Godzilla: Save the Earth
with the new addition to be able to spew purple energy mines, that
cause a great amount of damage when used in a group and can draw
monsters into them and send them flying.
Destoroyah is considered by some to be Godzilla's most powerful foe,
a title that could be held by only a handful of monsters such as King Ghidorah and Monster X.
This is due to the fact that Destoroyah fought Godzilla when he was at
the very peak of his power, and could withstand multiple hits from his
red spiral ray, an attack which instantly killed most enemies. Another
reason is that Godzilla never actually won the battle himself, but with
assistance from the Super-X III.
A possible reason that the name "Destroyer" isn't commonly used in
various markets is because the word itself could not be trademarked. So
while he is referred to as "Destroyer" when spoken, he is always
"Destoroyah" in printed form.

Video Game Appearances


Destoroyah has been playable in its final form in both Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and Godzilla: Save the Earth. It is unknown if Destoroyah, or its other forms, will be playable in Godzilla: Unleashed.
