Battra is a giant moth-like kaiju from the Godzilla (Gojira) film series, first appearing in 'Godzilla vs. Mothra' (1992). Unlike Mothra, Battra was created by the Earth itself to defend the planet, often acting as a darker counterpart to Mothra. Battra is characterized by his aggressive nature and immense destructive power. In the series, Battra plays an antagonistic yet ultimately redemptive role, joining forces with Mothra and Godzilla to stop greater threats to Earth.
