Hedorah (ヘドラ,   Hedora?) of the IDW Publishing continuity is an alien pollution kaiju created by IDW Publishing that first appeared in the 2011 comic Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, and made following appearances in Godzilla: Ongoing and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.

Name[]

Hedorah was named for hedoro, the Japanese word for mud. This is especially befitting, due to most of Hedorah's attacks involving releasing acid-rich dirt at its opponent.

Appearance[]

Personality[]

Not much is known about Hedorah's personality, but it is aligned with the other space monsters, and seems to be intentionally causing destruction.

Origins[]

Hedorah is an alien monster that came to Earth along with fellow aliens Gigan, SpaceGodzilla, and Monster X in order to wreak havoc.

History[]

Godzilla: Ongoing[]

In Godzilla: Ongoing, Hedorah is one of the space monsters that attacks Earth with other alien kaiju. Hedorah does battle with Kiryu and almost destroys him, but Godzilla arrives and takes on the smog monster while Kiryu escapes to get backup. Hedorah badly wounds Godzilla with its deadly toxic body and knocks him into a canyon, where it attempts to drown Godzilla in toxic sludge. Godzilla uses his atomic breath to fly out of the canyon and resumes his battle with Hedorah. Godzilla tears Hedorah into pieces and burns it into dust with his atomic breath. Godzilla then leaves to battle the other space monsters, leaving Hedorah apparently destroyed.

Godzilla: Rulers of Earth[]

Hedorah is briefly seen in the first issue of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, as part of Dr. Kenji Ando's conference about the reasons why kaiju have gained their own place in the natural order. In the presentation, it is learned that the "Smog Monster," as the news like to call Hedorah, attacked several oil rigs in the ocean. Though Hedorah is presumably still alive and present on Earth during the events of the series, no attempts have been made to locate or capture it, and its current whereabouts are unknown.
