Battra is really interesting as a concept, from a lore perspective for Mothra. Cool design and muh beem weapons help too 😅

Battra oozes untapped potential and I'd love to see him return, ideally in a recurring capacity in an ongoing series. In terms of what we actually have on screen so far, though, Biollante takes this. She's one of the greatest effects achievements of the genre, and well-utilized in one of the best movies of the genre.

Biollante no contest.

Destoroyah, but Biollante is a damn close second.

Although I haven't gotten around to watching any of the films in full yet, Biollante is my pick. Battra's a close second.

Destoroyah. Most versatility with their powers and evolutionary method being actual changes in a population rather than an individual, unlike pokemon or Shin Godzilla.
(I loved the jabs at Shin Goddzilla in Singular point about "that's not evolution", even if I think it was cool.)

Biollante has a rich story, and both forms were well done. I'd consider Biollante's second form to be the most terrifying kaiju created.
I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

Then expect something that's fiercer, more cruel, and deadly than anything that's walked the Earth.

While I will say I like Godzilla vs Biollante more, Destroyah in both design and backstory is one of my favorite villains in the series period

Just the idea of a monster worse than G himself being spawned from the very same device that killed the original greatly ties into Dr. Serizawa’s fears of the oxygen destroyer being used as a weapon as it would be unleashing something more horrid than Godzilla (sure he probably wasn’t talking about a satanic crustacean Kaiju, but still)

Biollante is a masterpiece of practical FX, and just a great kaiju all around.

Biollante.

It goes under appreciated these days how they took a rather silly concept, a giant mutated rose, and made it work so damn well in a Godzilla move. She remains so original for the franchise and her execution is pitch perfect. She doesn't have a lot of screen time in her movie, but every moment that her rose and final form are on screen make an impact.
If it bites... don't mess with it!
