Abilities
Manda does not have any special weapons, but it can wrap its body around an enemy and crush them similar to how a snake constricts its prey. Manda can also swim very fast and can breathe while submerged in water.
Showa Series
Manda was a dragon that lived in the sea and was the guardian of Mu, a kingdom underwater. When the warship Gotengo attacked, Manda fought it and wrapped his body around the ship and trying to crush it.. But Gotengo charged electricity on Manda and shocked him. Manda unwrapped hiself and tried to swim away. Gotengo chased after and fired the Absolute Zero Cannon and froze Manda. Then Manda was taken to the man-made island, Monster Island. In 1999, aliens called Kilaaks came to Earth and took control of Manda and the other monsters of the island and made them attack cities in the world until the humans freed the monsters from the alien mind control. Then the monsters were sent to fight King Ghidorah. Manda did not fight in the battle and watched from the sidelines with Varan and Baragon. After Ghidorah was defeated, Manda and the other kaiju returned to Monster Island.
Millennium series
In the Millennium series, Manda attacks Normandy, when the Gotengo comes to stop it and attacks Manda. At first, Manda was able to constrict himelf around the Gotengo and pull the warship further and further into the depths of the water, severely damaging it. However, the crew spotted an underwater volcano and charged into it, with Manda stuck on their ship. Not withstanding the heat, Manda to unwrapped himelf and swam away. The Gotengo managed to get out of the volcano, but Manda charged at the ship. However, the Gotengo turned around and fired the maser cannon to freeze the weakened Manda, and then rammed into him with its powerful drill, breaking it into pieces.
Manda could have been controlled by the Xillians unnoticed.
Movie Appearances
Way of Fighting
Manda studies an enemy first and then attacks by trying to crush them with her body. Manda is also smart and learns from mistakes. That is probably why Manda did not attack Ghidorah at Mount Fuji, as Ghidorah's chief method of fighting is cooking his foes from a long distance away with Gravity Beams.
Godzilla Neo
(from Legend of the Yamato Guardians) -
"The Sea God MANDA ruled the ocean with the rage that made her a Spawn of Orochi, and created chaos that impressed even Susano'o. In particular danger was the nation of Mu, though the Empress refused to send her armies to fight Manda, for fear that she was indeed the Dragon God incarnate, and that the people had done some evil to anger the serpent. Nevertheless, the Priests of Yamato appeared to stop Manda. The kindests of the priests had stuck upon an idea, and went to a beach shore to call on an old friend of his. A small turtle came ashore and conversed with the kindly priest, and he asked of his friend to find something within the sea to quell Manda's rage. Three days passed, and the turtle returned to the beach, dragging with him a colossal pearl of such beauty that the priest was rendered speechless. He presented the pearl to the Queen of Mu, and, taken aback by the gentle priest, offerred the pearl to Manda. As soon as the dragon's eyes fell upon the pearl, her rage was squelched, and she became the guardian of Mu, as long as the pearl was in the nation's protection."
Manda would be reawoken many years later to fight against an incredibly vicious foe...
