[]Name

SpaceGodzilla's name simply comes from the English word space(スペース supēsu) and Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira). Before the name "SpaceGodzilla" was chosen, the monster was also known as "CrystalGodzilla" (クリスタルゴジラ Kurisutarugojira) and "AstroGodzilla" (アストロゴジラ Asutorogojira) during various stages of pre-production of the film.

Appearance

SpaceGodzilla looks similar to Godzilla in many ways, but his skin is navy-blue with a patch of dark reddish-purple skin, that appears much smoother than the rest of his skin, on his abdominal area. The same, he is bulkier in build, as well as being taller. He has two massive white crystals that erupt from his shoulders, and his tail is much longer, ending with several crystal-like spikes.

His dorsal plates on his back are made of similar crystals, and are white in color. As a result of him being bulkier, SpaceGodzilla has difficulty walking and he cannot run, but he makes up for this by having the ability to fly through . In addition his mouth area appears closer to 's, as he has sharp teeth and tusks on the sides of his mouth. He has fire-orange eyes and a trans-orange (fading to trans-yellow) crest on his forehead.

Roar

Like most other Heisei monsters, SpaceGodzilla's roar is made of recycled sounds, but unlike most other Heisei monsters, instead of the usual roars heard from , , and , Toho took 's roar and pitched it down to make SpaceGodzilla's roar. In , SpaceGodzilla's roar is an altered Heisei roar.

Personality

SpaceGodzilla is one of the most intelligent of Godzilla's foes in the series, exhibiting displays of planned combat strategy throughout the movie (harvesting power from buildings, trapping Godzilla's son, etc.). This is further evidenced by the fact SpaceGodzilla sought to dominate the Earth of his own free will, instead of other monsters, which only cause random destruction, and only involvement in world domination is to carry out their masters' will.

Due to his overly-muscular body, SpaceGodzilla prefers to attack with his corona beam from a distance, and was at times overwhelmed by 's assault in close quarters due to this. His short and stumpy arms meant that he couldn't reach the mech without using his tail making his actual fighting skills weak.

Unlike Godzilla, who in the Heisei series of films is depicted as a force of nature, neither good nor evil, SpaceGodzilla appears to have an element of true malice, as the monster was said by the to be headed to for the purpose of defeating Godzilla. According to the Cosmos, SpaceGodzilla intended to kill Godzilla so that the would be defenseless when he dominated it allowing him to rule.

Origins

SpaceGodzilla's origins have always been rather ambiguous; it is confirmed that he is indeed a clone of Godzilla originating from outer space, but the exact details behind his creation have varied. In , the human characters hypothesize that samples of 's DNA were somehow cast into space and mutated into a partially crystalline life form after being swallowed up by a black hole, which then came out from a white hole. It is not known for certain what brought the DNA into space, but possibilities are suggested, one being that after leaving Earth in , unwittingly carried pieces of Godzilla's genetic material that came onto her during her battle with him. Another possibility is that the DNA came from , another creature born from Godzilla's DNA who, after fighting Godzilla in , disintegrated into a cloud of spores that floated off into outer space.

When Trendmasters introduced SpaceGodzilla in their , they made a slightly modified origin based on the Mothra theory, in which Godzilla cells did not become a crystalline life form through the exposure to black and white holes, but rather a fusion with an unknown pre-existing crystalline life form, essentially making SpaceGodzilla a hybrid of both Godzilla and this alien creature.

History

SpaceGodzilla's flying form in

SpaceGodzilla was first seen flying through space, where he destroyed a manned NASA satellite. He battled while he was on his way to Earth, and defeated the mecha. He then landed on and attacked , but arrived to save him. SpaceGodzilla quickly overpowered Godzilla using his skills, and then trapped Little Godzilla in crystals. He flew away and flew over , eventually landing and setting up his fortress in .

M.O.G.U.E.R.A. arrived in Fukuoka to battle SpaceGodzilla again, but was no match for the monster. Godzilla soon arrived as well and joined forces with M.O.G.U.E.R.A. M.O.G.U.E.R.A split into and . Land Moguera drilled underground and knocked out the foundations of SpaceGodzilla's power source, the , while Godzilla toppled the tower from ground level. Godzilla then had the upper hand, and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. used its spiral grenades to destroy SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals. In retaliation, SpaceGodzilla blasted off one of M.O.G.U.E.R.A.'s arms, and proceeded to impale the mecha on his tail and throw it into a nearby building.

Akira Yuki tried to pilot the damaged mech back into battle, colliding with SpaceGodzilla. However, the damage to the machine made it almost impossible to control, and the machine crashed into several buildings. The weakened SpaceGodzilla was about to explode, but Godzilla blasted him with his red spiral ray multiple times. SpaceGodzilla let out a weak roar and finally exploded into spores of light that floated back up into space.

"Space Godzilla is a malevolent fusion of Godzilla's DNA and an unknown collection of extra-terrestrial minerals and energies. Space Godzilla has an unknown potential for psychic abilities, including telekinesis, telepathy, levitation, mind control, and the manipulation of many basic elements. Space Godzilla can temper crystal towers from the earth around him, which he uses to magnify and focus his psychic energies.

Space Godzilla's greatest weapon is the fact that despite his gargantuan frame he possesses human-level intelligence. This makes him a tremendous potential threat to all humanity and all of the earth.

Space Godzilla has attacked earth only twice before-once as a free agent and once as an ally of the Vortaak. But his thirst for power knows no allegiance. and needs none.

— SpaceGodzilla Godzilla: Unleashed bio

SpaceGodzilla is featured in Godzilla: Unleashed as a member of mutants faction and final boss stage for the Earth Defenders, Aliens, and G.D.F. The role that he plays in the storyline varies from the PS2 and the Wii version. In the PlayStation 2 version, he's responsible for the crystals appearing on Earth, while in the Wii version he's merely trying to use them to escape, though some believe that he managed to release them via the portal shown in the Alien version of the storyline.

It is most likely that in both the PS2 and Wii versions of Godzilla: Unleashed, SpaceGodzilla is the cause of the crystal incursion. Even if the player doesn't select him in story mode in the Wii Version, SpaceGodzilla will be shown roaring in triumph in the mutants ending, but this only happens on the PS2 if the player selects him.

He is the leader of the mutant faction, and the main antagonist of the game. The crystals he creates are responsible for the birth of the monsters and , and in Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash for bringing to life.

SpaceGodzilla appeared within for the Nintendo DS. Being one of the last hidden monsters unlockable, SpaceGodzilla is a very strong weaponry-oriented combatant. Able to call up crystal towers to speed his energy recharge rate (which otherwise recharges very slowly), SpaceGodzilla can use a variety of energy and missile-based attacks, from crystal shards, slamming his foe with a large chunk of crystal, making the towers fire energy bolts at the foe to his powerful Corona Beam.

SpaceGodzilla also uses energy in many of his melee attacks, and especially in his grabs and throws, levitating opponents and buildings into the air, emanating an electromagnetic aura that will disrupt attacks by the military and flinging them with his mind. He also has an exceptionally long tail which can be used effectively as a whip.

SpaceGodzilla is as tough defensively as , making him a powerful and difficult monster to defeat. He replaces as the final opponent in Hard mode.

"A mutated organism created from 's DNA that had been scattered in outer space during a fight with , which subsequently crystallized and synthesized inside a black hole before absorbing the energy of a fixed star. Highly intelligent, it invaded the in order to kill the original Godzilla.

Using countless crystals formed on Earth and taking in an endless amount of energy from space, SpaceGodzilla attacked Godzilla by creating a combat field that allowed it to manipulate gravitons and electromagnetic radiation as it pleased.

Originally based on an , SpaceGodzilla became an instant overnight hit.
