For all of her other abilities, Mothra suffers from a tremendous size and strength disadvantage while in her larval form. During her encounter with King Ghidorah in 1999, Mothra relied on cooperation with her fellow Earth monsters to defeat the Lord of Terror.

Mothra does not have much of a defined personality. She is only ever seen wandering Monsterland in the vicinity of Gorosaurus, causing destruction under the control of the Kilaaks, and assisting Godzilla and the other Earth monsters against King Ghidorah by covering his body in silk.

This Mothra's origins and relation to previous Mothras are undefined. She is only shown living on Monsterland near the end of the 20th century, and the Shobijin are nowhere to be seen.

In 1999, a larval Mothra was living on Monsterland along with most of Earth's other kaiju. When the Kilaaks invaded the island, they took control of the monsters and sent them to attack major cities around the globe. Mothra first attacked Beijing, and later resurfaced in Tokyo along with Godzilla, Manda and Rodan. The four monsters completely leveled the city before departing. Thankfully, mankind destroyed the Kilaaks' mind-control device and the Earth monsters assaulted the Kilaaks' lair at Mount Fuji. The Kilaaks summoned King Ghidorah to fight off the Earth monsters. Mothra aided in the fight from afar, covering King Ghidorah in webbing alongside Kumonga. When King Ghidorah and the Kilaaks were defeated, Mothra and the other monsters were returned to Monsterland to live out their days in peace.

Mothra resembles a massive brown, segmented caterpillar (resembling a silkworm) with glowing red eyes.
