| Hedorah, a gigantic, mobile pile of sludge, was created when an alien spore from space landed on Earth in 1971 and combined with Earth's overpowering industrial waste. Two by two, the Hedorah tadpoles meet and unite, growing larger and larger until they eventually form a single, humongous being. At first confined to the sea, Hedorah attacked and fed off of large oil tankers, which he destroyed. However, he soon evolved the ability to crawl onto land and begin feeding off factory smoke stacks and anything else that created pollution. Godzilla soon arrived and after a brief battle, forced the Smog Monster back into the sea, but this was only the beginning of the struggle between Godzilla and Hedorah as they fought back and forth all across Japan. Hedorah soon was able to transform himself into a flying form and flew over Japanese cities spewing sulfuric acid mist from his body and disintegrating every living thing unfortunate enough to be caught in his path. Finally, the ultimate Hedorah appears as a towering, bipedal creature, still able to transform into its flying form and back at will. Eventually, Godzilla and Hedorah engaged in a final battle at Mount Fuji, however, the battle was not going in Godzilla’s favor. Every time Godzilla attacked, nothing would affect the Smog Monster, not even the Monster King’s radioactive heat ray, for it was deflected and diminished by the alien mineral content of the Smog Monster's body. Finally, the JSDF intervened, building two giant electrodes to try and dry out Hedorah, they lured him to the electrodes, but were unable to destroy him do to a power failure. However, Godzilla returned to destroy Hedorah by using his radioactive heat ray to power the electrodes, creating a radioactive current that dried out Hedorah's body and destroyed the Smog Monster once and for all. | |
