Well, they act the same way they did back when they were in their first form. Not much to talk about other than I do like the brown coloring just because it's the same coloring of the Showa Rodan and I do like the straight beak.

I find it weird that the artwork for them had them boast Godzilla's spikes on their spines, but in the actual show there's nothing there.

Does this technically encompass the special Rodan that showed up and then immediately got smoked by Godzilla? Cuz I still wanna know what's up with that guy.
Otherwise, this design really grew on me. It's weird, I was worried that Monsterverse Rodan was going to be exactly SP Rodan second form, and while I admittedly far and away prefer the MV design, I think this one perfectly blends the original Rodan with realistic pterosaur proportions. I think like a lot of SP design, it works well because it's in animation.

I’d rather have corkscrews driven into my eyes than have to witness this unholy abomination ever again.

I feel that way about all the kaiju designs in this show frankly.

Design wise, I definitely prefer him over the previous form. Incarnation-wise…yeah, he’s my least favorite Rodan.

At least, until we bring up the Black Rodan for discussion… … …

Maybe they’re one of those creatures that have a high reproduction rate to make up for a high infant mortality rate, and that one was one of the few who made it to adulthood?

Or maybe they have something of a caste system, and the big one developed that way after their population in Tokyo reached critical mass?

Or maybe it just came down to having a surplus of red dust around thanks to Godzilla, when they would otherwise have their growth suspended (could overlap with the above, the way grasshoppers turn into locusts)?
