Background / History
Awakening on Yilisai
Before transmigrating, Gu Chi was a human on Earth who watched Godzilla films, read fiction, and played games. He awakens buried underground in an enormous unfamiliar body, breaks through the rock, and recognizes himself as King Ghidorah from the Legendary Universe. The strange landscape convinces him that he is not in Ghidorah’s expected Antarctic prison 1 20 29.
Excited by his new power, he generates a continent-spanning superstorm. Hurricanes, lightning, and flooding devastate the land, while an ancient ocean sovereign responds with a catastrophic tsunami. Ghidorah turns toward the coast, curious to discover another powerful monster 1 2.
Later recollections establish that his Titan body had previously fought on Legendary Earth. He remembers attempting to destroy its ecosystem, being overwhelmed by Godzilla and other Titans, and being frozen in Antarctica by Shimo. Rodan’s account and Ghidorah’s own memories place his disappearance from Earth during the Boston battle, while his Gravity Beams were clashing with Godzilla’s Atomic Breath. These Titan memories coexist with his recollections of being the human Gu Chi 110 113 114 127 173 174.
Defeating the Planetary Administrator
The ocean sovereign, Apekus, attacks with tsunamis, waterspouts, and its ultimate beam, End of an Era. Ghidorah survives the beam with only superficial wing scorching, then pins Apekus down and electrocutes it into submission. From the defeated creature, he learns that the planet is called Yilisai 2.
Apekus recounts the rise and fall of sixteen eras and identifies Ghidorah as an outsider whose strength exceeds every being it has previously encountered. Ghidorah repeatedly punishes its attempts to recover its dignity, forcing it to explain the limits of its power and planetary authority 3 4.
At Apekus’s request, Ghidorah dismantles the superstorm before it destroys the ecosystem. He later asks whether the administrator’s position can be transferred, but rejects the prospect of maintaining planetary balance as a restrictive, thankless job 6 7.
Observing Civilization
Learning that Nuoyaji is a regressor sparks Ghidorah’s interest in human affairs. Through Apekus’s projection ability, he watches a civilization combining steam industry, magic, factories, and feudal city-states. He also selects relics from Apekus’s collection before leaving to explore the continent 5 6 7 9 10.
Ghidorah conceals his true body in a secluded valley and explores Luoweida through Black Owl. There, he sees flooded homes, ruined livelihoods, and the consequences of his storm. He follows Nuoyaji’s involvement with the miners and becomes interested in how foreknowledge allows the regressor to organize relief 12 13 16 18 40.
Through the avatar, he also encounters Fuyila, questions her about her missing mother and pursuers, and offers her food. In the collapsed mine, he frees thirteen trapped miners and deliberately makes footsteps to alert Nuoyaji’s rescue party before continuing deeper underground 20 21 27.
Searching for a Lair
Ghidorah eventually leaves these activities behind to explore farther inland. Remembering Godzilla’s undersea temple, he decides that a creature of his stature needs a proper lair rather than another wilderness resting place 29 32.
When the newly freed black dragon Voraksa attacks him, Ghidorah destroys its left wing with a golden lightning strike and pins it down. His first concern is whether Voraksa owns—or can locate—a castle. After discovering that the dragon knows little about the later War of the Gods, he orders it to find him a palace or die 36 39.
Black Owl’s Disappearance and Valeria
While exploring a hidden space in the mine, Black Owl abruptly vanishes from Ghidorah’s view. The connection remains, but its endpoint no longer exists, and Ghidorah cannot reconnect. Furious, he flies toward the mine under storm cover 45.
He pursues and cripples Valeria’s stone-and-crystal avatar, demanding compensation for his intelligent agent. Valeria acknowledges that the small construct’s energy triggered its awakening, but refuses to reveal its true body’s location 47 48.
Ghidorah carries the damaged avatar west to find ore for its reconstruction. He tells Valeria that, once repaired, it will join the black dragon already searching for things on his behalf 50.
After Valeria emerges from the ground with its injuries still healing, Ghidorah formally orders it to find him a palace. Valeria heads west toward a possible site inside an extinct volcano, while Ghidorah senses Voraksa’s location deep inland and flies to find him 55.
Claiming Vagrian’s Palace and Throne
Voraksa presents Ghidorah with the palace occupied by the badly beaten Red Dragon Emperor, Valerirus. Ghidorah claims it as his home, examines its treasure chamber, bathing pool, and rooftop terrace, and orders Voraksa to heal Valerirus so that he can question him. He avoids forcing the massive entrance doors because he does not want to damage his new residence 59.
After meeting Sangis and the palace’s other attendants, Ghidorah learns that he has acquired more than a dragon’s lair. Vagrian is an established empire with over fifty cities, a population exceeding thirteen million, and a long-standing administrative system. The unexpected prospect of becoming an emperor initially appeals to his sense of prestige 60 61.
He approves Sangis’s proposal to announce the change of ruler to other nations under the title Caesar, orders Voraksa to retrieve Valeria, and flies over the capital to inspect his empire. Silence Society observers recognize him as the creature previously seen at the Western Mine and discuss approaching him 69.
Imperial routine proves less exciting than the title. He becomes bored while hearing requests concerning academy construction, flood-control funding, and striking miners, and spends much of his time reclining in the palace while Sangis reports on affairs. He also has guards read ancient myths to him 64 75 85.
Valerirus’s young son, Weitestan, later confronts him as a throne-stealing outsider and declares himself Vagrian’s future heir. Ghidorah regards the challenge with detached amusement and asks Sangis who the “idiot” is 89.
The Old World and the Evil God
While investigating an unfamiliar, disagreeable energy, Ghidorah is swallowed into a dead, gravityless world by black matter associated with a headless giant serpent. There he meets Leonsel, who identifies herself as the God of Light, and questions her about the Evil God and the shattered space 96 100 102.
Ghidorah burrows through dozens of kilometers of rock toward the energy core sustaining this Old World. He destroys the core with a single strike, causing the enclosed world to collapse and fragment. He subsequently operates in its airless remains without needing to breathe 107 109 168.
Confronting the reshaped Evil God, Weiergalun, Ghidorah treats its intention to destroy the world as an invitation to be beaten. He later identifies Weiergalun as an enemy he has already dealt with. When he emerges unharmed from the ensuing explosion, he learns that Vagrian’s capital and his palace have been reduced to ruins 110 111 136.
Valeria then uses its contract spell to make the defeated Voraksa Ghidorah’s formally bound subordinate, with Apekus approving the contract. Ghidorah subsequently returns the throne to Valerirus and leaves, telling him to run the country because he is quitting 111 112.
Rodan and the Dragon Ancestor
Ghidorah encounters Rodan, recognizes him as his former enforcer from the Boston battle, and shoots him down with a Gravity Beam before questioning him. Rodan’s answers establish that Ghidorah vanished during the battle of the kings, Godzilla subsequently became King of the Monsters, and several years passed before Rodan’s own arrival in Yilisai 113 114.
When the Dragon Ancestor challenges him, Rodan attacks first but is repelled. Ghidorah then overwhelms the ancestor’s layered shields, counters his spatially repositioned attacks, and recharges himself with lightning from a newly generated storm. His electrical net breaks the ancestor’s full-power Dragon’s Wrath and leaves him charred in a crater 117 118.
Ghidorah asks Apekus about returning to his original world. Apekus cannot send him back directly, but explains the former role of world consciousnesses and teleportation rituals in travel between worlds and agrees to consult neighboring-world contacts. Ghidorah introduces Rodan as his little brother and sends Apekus away to investigate 122.
He later has Rodan transport the defeated Dragon Ancestor back to Vagrian. The ancestor offers to restore the ruined capital, and Ghidorah allows him to rebuild it with magic. Afterward, Ghidorah takes Rodan on a tour of the continent and encounters Nuoyaji, Chaluoke, Fuyila, and the Silver Radiance Dragon God near a mountain cave 123 127.
Cooperation Between Nations and the World Abyss
Ghidorah becomes frustrated with nations continuing their rivalries while ancient beings and evil creations threaten the world. He reasons that a common enemy can force cooperation and considers manufacturing another great threat now that Weiergalun is gone 136.
He destroys the Dragon-Erosion Demon God with a single bolt of golden lightning. Afterward, Leonsel calls for nations and races to cooperate, and Valerirus proposes the Parliament of All Nations. Ghidorah watches as representatives begin planning the gathering 140.
When informed that the Elven Royal Court wants to participate, Ghidorah demands that its leader speak to him directly. He also orders Voraksa to take Valeria mining and questions the Dragon Ancestor about the World Abyss, a region at the world’s core approximately the size of a medium-sized country. The ancestor agrees to guard it, and Apekus approves a World Contract binding him to Ghidorah 147.
The Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Crowns
Ghidorah and Rodan confront the revived Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Crowns. Ghidorah destroys several of its energy-supplying black pillars and allows its chains to strike him, only for them to shatter against his body 158.
The Venerable Lord traps both Titans in the Infinite Between, where mana is drained from them. This does little to diminish their principal powers, which do not depend on mana. Ghidorah withstands a supernova-like attack without a mark, destroys a giant claw with golden electricity, and wounds the Venerable Lord 159.
When enormous manifestations appear in the empty space, Ghidorah continues attacking them directly. His lightning melts the shapeshifting Divine Body of Ruin and Chaos and severs the attacking limbs of the Hundred-Armed Giant King 160.
Fighting Little Brother Zilla
Ghidorah encounters a green-eyed creature resembling Godzilla, which he calls Little Brother Zilla. Its green breath matches one of his combined Gravity Beam attacks, prompting genuine surprise. Ghidorah surrounds the battlefield with an amplified electromagnetic storm that he theatrically names “Domain Expansion: Thunderstorm Planet” 167.
The ensuing fight is substantially more demanding than his earlier battles on Yilisai. Ghidorah knocks the creature down with a wing strike, bites and drags it through the ruins, and is himself blasted backward nearly a thousand meters by its breath. The attack scorches his chest, and he acknowledges that it has been a long time since he encountered an opponent capable of fighting him so closely 168.
Ghidorah eventually coils around Little Brother Zilla and drains its energy. Anasi’s plea rouses the creature, which breaks free and draws additional power from underground green crystals. Ghidorah rises above the clouds and gathers a vast electrical vortex for a collision between their strongest attacks, leaving a roughly ten-kilometer-wide pit 169 170.
Little Brother Zilla then releases a burning blue-green energy wave that blackens Ghidorah’s shielding wings. Ghidorah absorbs its energy, closes in, bites into it with all three heads, and fires full-power Gravity Beams at point-blank range. He emerges from the resulting magma with scorched scales; Godzilla’s subsequent Atomic Breath finishes Little Brother Zilla, which Ghidorah regards as having his kill stolen 170 171 173.
Reconciliation with Godzilla
Ghidorah challenges the newly arrived Godzilla, initially interrupting his Atomic Breath with combined Gravity Beams and ramming him from the side. His confidence falters when Godzilla enters Supercharged Mode. Ghidorah attempts to flee, but the ensuing Supercharged Spiral Breath destroys the hurricane supplying his environmental energy advantage 173 174.
Assessing Godzilla’s evolution, increased energy storage, and additional supercharged amplification against his own depleted reserves, Ghidorah concludes that he cannot win in the circumstances. He proposes peace, admits his past destruction on Legendary Earth, offers to relinquish the King of the Monsters title, and promises to take Rodan to apologize to Mothra. When Godzilla continues approaching, Ghidorah nevertheless prepares to fight rather than submit to an unavoidable attack 174.
Godzilla instead proposes an alliance against a crisis threatening Earth, naming Mothra, Kong, Behemoth, Shimo, Skar King, and MUTO Prime among the other participants. Ghidorah accepts, although he is incredulous when Godzilla admits that he does not know the crisis’s exact nature 174.
Ghidorah carries Godzilla through the air with assistance from his hurricane, finding the weight difficult even for him. He learns that Earth had no role in his own disappearance, leaving the cause of his original transportation unresolved. He also criticizes the Titans’ search strategy of visiting unfamiliar worlds and asking their inhabitants for information without a clear route or contingency plan 175 176 177.
Traveling Between Worlds
Ghidorah summons the Light God to discuss the world’s disasters and questions the Dragon Ancestor about his prior interworld journeys. The ancestor explains that he independently discovered gaps between worlds and passed through them 177.
A subsequent teleportation takes Ghidorah and his companions inside an enormous animal, which is then apparently swallowed by another creature. They emerge into a harsh world inhabited by immense beasts, but Ghidorah judges that its largely unintelligent inhabitants offer little prospect of answering their questions 178.
He also asks the Dragon Ancestor about the imprisoned God King and visits the World Abyss with Godzilla. There, he compares the mana-rich environment to parts of Hollow Earth and is shown the mountain containing the prisoner 180 181.
In another world, Ghidorah and his companions are received by the Celestial Emperor. The emperor offers help searching for Tiamat’s missing child, although Old Man Tianji reports that the child is not in that world. Godzilla states that Earth is no longer suitable for Titans, and the emperor confirms that the universe is approaching its end 188.
After learning that Serta previously helped stabilize the cultivation world, Ghidorah joins Godzilla, Serta, and the Celestial Emperor in investigating a terrifying presence confined in the Nine Netherworlds, while Tiamat remains behind. They encounter a vast black-mist entity that Godzilla recognizes as a Calamity. Ghidorah mocks its imitated, stuttering speech and gathers golden electricity as the group prepares to fight 188 190.
Appearance
- Body: An enormous golden-scaled dragon with three long necks and three horned heads 1.
- Eyes: Six golden eyes with slit pupils 4 36.
- Wings: Approximately 1,300 feet across when fully spread; golden electrical arcs travel along their bones and membranes 1 29.
- Height: Listed as 521 feet in the Ghidorah information Gu Chi recalls 1.
- Mass: Initially described as weighing tens of thousands of tons; a later recollection describes his transported Titan body as weighing over a hundred thousand tons 48 127.
- Other features: Sharp fangs, a forked tongue, and breath hot enough to melt steel 1 9.
- High-output appearance: Intense bioelectric charging can make his neck scales appear platinum and his entire body radiate golden light from within 118 169.
Personality
Ghidorah is curious, entertainment-driven, and accustomed to interpreting events through fiction and games. He regards Nuoyaji as a possible “protagonist,” treats local adventures as “side quests,” and collects ancient treasures despite their inability to improve his strength 5 9 29 40.
His curiosity coexists with arrogance and cruelty. He despises weaker beings who rely on seniority or status, tortures Apekus for putting on airs, and threatens Voraksa over the search for a palace. Losing access to Black Owl provokes anger at the perceived humiliation as well as concern for his property 4 39 45.
He is not consistently benevolent or indiscriminately destructive. He stops the original storm because an intact world interests him more than a wasteland, feeds Fuyila, and rescues trapped miners. Nevertheless, he later dismisses ruined landscapes and human casualties as beneath his concern. His restraint does not amount to remorse for the catastrophe he caused 6 20 27 31 32.
Prestige matters more to him than practical necessity. His desire for a palace stems from comparing himself with Godzilla’s undersea temple, and he initially enjoys the imposing sound of an imperial title. Routine governance bores him, however, and he readily returns Vagrian’s throne when its ruined capital no longer offers the comfortable home he wanted 32 61 64 112.
His sense of theatricality extends to combat. He borrows terminology from fiction, calls the Dragon Ancestor’s shields “buffs,” and names an electromagnetic-field display a “Domain Expansion” while acknowledging that it is not actually a domain. He also taunts powerful opponents with nicknames and jokes, including Godzilla, Little Brother Zilla, and the Calamity 118 167 169 173 190.
Despite his arrogance, he can reassess an unfavorable fight. Against Supercharged Godzilla, he recognizes the combined disadvantage of depleted energy and a destroyed storm, tries negotiation, and offers concessions. His conciliatory posture is pragmatic rather than absolute cowardice: when he believes Godzilla will attack regardless, he prepares to resist 174.
He later takes an active interest in collective survival, criticizing international rivalries and seeking cooperation against larger threats. His methods remain manipulative—he considers creating a common enemy to unite nations—but he also joins Godzilla’s search for a solution to the cosmic crisis and questions the risks of traveling blindly between worlds 136 140 174 177.
Abilities & Skills
Storm Generation and Control
His wings and bioelectric energy generate hurricanes, heated air, torrential rain, and lightning 1.
- Expands his initial storm across the continent, threatening planetary ecological collapse if it continues 1 6.
- Reverses and dismantles the super-hurricane through deliberate control 6.
- Compresses later storms to conceal his body while limiting their destructive reach 11 29 45.
- Drives his storm inland at abnormal speed; mountains and terrain do not weaken it like an ordinary hurricane 11 32.
- Can disperse the surrounding storm completely while resting 12.
- Generates a thunderstorm during battle and uses its lightning to recharge his body 118.
- Uses hurricane-generated lift and thrust to assist in carrying Godzilla, although the load remains difficult 175 176.
- “Domain Expansion: Thunderstorm Planet” amplifies his electromagnetic field into a darkened storm and dense electrical web covering dozens of kilometers. It is explicitly not a true spatial or magical domain 167.
Gravity Beams and Bioelectric Discharge
Each head can release a Gravity Beam, while his scales, wings, and claws discharge golden electricity 1 2.
- Fires three beams together, severely wounding and throwing back Apekus 2.
- Channels electricity directly into a pinned opponent 2.
- Regulates electrical output to inflict extreme pain without killing Apekus 4.
- Absorbs electrical charges from storm clouds as nourishment 31.
- Destroys Voraksa’s wing with a single golden lightning strike 36.
- Shoots Rodan down with a Gravity Beam from his central head 114.
- Breaks through the Dragon Ancestor’s layered energy shields with two simultaneous beams 118.
- Releases a compressed electrical sphere from his tail tip, which splits into lightning chains and intercepts the Dragon Ancestor’s seven breath attacks 118.
- Weaves lightning discharged from his body and wing tips into a net that fragments the full-power Dragon’s Wrath before striking the Dragon Ancestor 118.
- Uses Wingtip Lightning to spread branching currents through the Infinite Between; later shapes wingtip electricity into elongated, swordlike projections 159 168.
- Combines three Gravity Beams into a thicker, concentrated beam, matching Little Brother Zilla’s initial green breath and interrupting Godzilla’s charging attack 167 173.
- Gathers lightning above the clouds into a vast rotating electrical vortex and blazing sphere for a maximum-output attack 169.
- Fires full-power Gravity Beams at point-blank range while biting an opponent with all three heads 171.
Durability and Regeneration
Ghidorah withstands Apekus’s End of an Era, an attack described as capable of leveling a medium-sized kingdom and killing an ancient twelfth-tier God King 2.
- His neck and torso scales remain intact after the direct hit 2.
- Minor scorching on one wing heals within seconds 2.
- His later inspection confirms that the wing has completely recovered 29.
- Emerges unharmed from the explosion following the Evil God confrontation 111.
- The Venerable Lord’s high-speed chains shatter on contact with his scales, and its supernova-like energy sphere leaves no mark 158 159.
- Regenerates scales scorched by the heat of his own intense electrical output within seconds 169.
- Survives Little Brother Zilla’s burning blue-green wave and the ensuing close-range exchange, emerging from magma with curled and blackened scales 170 171.
- Has neurons distributed throughout his body rather than confined to his heads. He recalls that even losing all three heads would not necessarily kill him, since they can regrow over time 174.
His durability is not absolute. Little Brother Zilla’s breath scorches his chest, its burning wave injures his wings, and sufficiently intense self-generated currents can burn the edges of his scales. Fighting at maximum output can therefore cause both enemy-inflicted damage and electrical or thermal backlash 168 169 170 171.
Physical Strength and Flight
His enormous body combines overwhelming force with rapid aerial movement 1 2.
- Breaks out of underground rock and creates a crater hundreds of meters across 1.
- Pins Apekus and Voraksa beneath his claws 2 36.
- Crushes half of Valeria’s avatar underfoot, producing a shock wave that cracks the ground and knocks distant miners down 48.
- Flies while carrying the damaged Valeria 50.
- Burrows through dozens of kilometers of rock at high speed, treating the strata as negligible resistance 107.
- Combines bioelectricity with incompletely converted mana to create additional thrust and achieve supersonic flight 120.
- Knocks Little Brother Zilla down with a wing strike, lifts it with his bites, and plows it along the ground for nearly a thousand meters 168.
- Rams Godzilla hard enough to drive him sideways and gouge furrows through rock beneath his legs 173.
- Carries Godzilla through the air with assistance from a hurricane, though at a much slower pace and with considerable effort 175 176.
Perception and Mental Communication
All three heads feed their perceptions into one consciousness 1.
- Processes multiple fields of vision simultaneously 1.
- Senses underground magical energy and distant fleeing animals upon awakening 1.
- Detects Fuyila’s unfamiliar presence through his true body while operating Black Owl elsewhere 18.
- Communicates directly through mental intent with Apekus and Valeria 2 50.
- Examines unfamiliar energy, including the dormant power inside Fuyila’s red stone 21.
- Senses Voraksa’s distant location within the continent 55.
- Projects telepathic messages simultaneously into the minds of thousands of people 74.
- Distinguishes energy attributes and frequencies, assessing whether unfamiliar energies are nourishing, harmless, or instinctively unpleasant 96.
- Detects the immense energy core sustaining the Old World through intervening rock 107.
- Receives instinctive danger warnings when Little Brother Zilla’s energy rises sharply 169.
His perception has limits: within the Infinite Between, the Venerable Lord can disappear from his awareness, leaving him searching the apparently empty space 159.
Remote Avatar Operation
Ghidorah binds Black Owl with psionic energy and operates it as an additional body 12.
- Shares its sight, hearing, touch, and magical perception 12.
- Leaves his true body hidden while exploring human settlements 12 13.
- Reviews the unit’s recorded experiences after returning his attention to it 40.
- Cannot restore access after the avatar’s endpoint disappears, despite the connection itself remaining intact 45.
Energy Absorption and Mana Adaptation
Ghidorah’s body is an enormous energy reservoir capable of absorbing several kinds of power 31 75 171.
- Passively captures ambient mana through his scales and converts it into personal energy continuously, without deliberate cultivation 75.
- Gradually fuses mana with his preexisting radiation-derived energy, changing his constitution and increasing muscle density 75 120.
- Stores some mana in his scales before fully converting it, allowing him to combine it with bioelectricity for propulsion 120.
- Absorbs lightning from his own generated storm to replenish combat energy 118.
- Drains Little Brother Zilla’s energy through close contact and biting 169 171.
- Retains his principal combat power when the Infinite Between drains his mana, because his Titan abilities are not fundamentally mana-dependent 159.
His storm and ambient mana provide a substantial environmental advantage rather than unlimited power under all circumstances. He believes that charging through both sources would allow him to contend with evolved Godzilla, but judges the combination of Godzilla’s Supercharged Mode, his own prior exertion, and the destruction of his hurricane to be an unfavorable matchup 174.
Survival in Extreme Environments
As a cosmic Titan, Ghidorah does not require air to survive. His scales protect him in vacuum, his muscles function in zero gravity, and his internal energy circulation can operate for extended periods without an external supply. The narrative identifies these traits as suitable for crossing the stars 109.
He can also move through deep rock and emerge from magma after a major battle, although extreme heat and high-output combat can still scorch his body 107 171.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Sixth Era spatial storage device — Connects to his psionic energy, holds his selected treasures, and is tucked between his scales. Apekus removes its access restrictions so it responds only to Ghidorah’s aura 9 12.
- Black Owl — An eighth-tier intelligent combat unit from a previous epoch, combining advanced technology and magic. Its seamless black construct armor has a sealed faceplate and faint dark-gold patterns 12 13.
- Kebokopu Crystal, Chaos Beast King Core, and God of War mech — Among the relics selected from Apekus’s collection. Ghidorah values them as collectibles rather than sources of personal power 9.
- Chaos Beast King Core’s resonance — The black bead later buzzes in his palace. Ghidorah recalls that it responds to energy from the same source and resolves to investigate the distant object provoking it 78.
- Palace treasures — Claims the Red Dragon Emperor’s palace and inspects its vast treasury. He later asks Master Lavas to identify a collection of mysterious relics; Lavas privately recognizes legendary objects but publicly requests more time and assistance 59 78.
Relationships
- Apekus — Defeated planetary administrator and coerced source of information, surveillance, and ancient equipment. Ghidorah considers its direct combat strength far below Godzilla’s. Apekus later approves contracts binding Voraksa and the Dragon Ancestor to him and investigates neighboring worlds for information about his origin 2 4 6 9 12 111 122 147.
- Nuoyaji — A human regressor whom Ghidorah observes for entertainment. He recognizes the practical advantage of Nuoyaji’s foreknowledge and attributes his rapid successes to a “protagonist halo.” Ghidorah later meets his group directly while touring the continent with Rodan 5 16 18 40 127.
- Fuyila — A mysterious girl he encounters through Black Owl. He offers her food and investigates her background; she later remains beside the inactive avatar and tries to feed it bread. She is also present with Nuoyaji’s group when Ghidorah greets them near the mountain cave 20 21 40 127.
- Voraksa — An ancient black dragon defeated and compelled to search for a castle or palace. He secures the palace Ghidorah claims, later becomes his subordinate through Valeria’s contract spell, and continues receiving errands such as escorting Valeria to mine ore 36 39 59 111 147.
