Mothra is given her name due to the fact she resembles a gigantic moth. The name "Titanus Mosura" comes from the Latin term "Titanus", meaning Titan, with "Mosura" being a Japanese translation of Mothra. The novelization of the film reveals that "Mosura" is the name that is given to her by the natives of a small Indonesian island that worship her, ...
Appearance
Mothra's egg was fleshy rather than hard, and appeared to be coated in vine-like structures which fell away during Mothra's birth (whether these were a part of the egg or due to Mothra's life-attracting influence is unknown). When metamorphosing, her chrysalis (from what little was seen of it through the waterfall) appeared to resemble a gigantic version of a moth chrysalis with a long and slender shape, producing bright and flashing bioluminescent lights which highlighted blue- and yellow-se...
Portrayal
Mothra is portrayed completely with CGI.
Roar
Mothra's roar is a very high-pitched wail not dissimilar to her previous incarnations, and she is also capable of shrill or lower-pitched trilling vocalizations. The filmmakers used a mix of crickets, insects, whales, and dolphins to create Mothra's vocalizations, and as an example, they exponentially slowed down crickets' chittering to make it sound like a song.There are a few moments in the film where she gives off her classic roar such as when she goes berserk in her larval state, when she...
Mothra appears to be a particularly intelligent and loyal Titan: unlike the other Titans, she defies Ghidorah after the latter has usurped Godzilla's position as alpha in favor of remaining loyal to Godzilla and immediately seeks him out, and her fight against Ghidorah in a weakened state (which led to her death and also to her remains allowed Godz...
The MonsterVerse incarnation of Mothra returns the character to her Toho incarnations' roots as a mystical being of resurrection; being capable of returning from death by laying an egg, from which she is reborn as a larva when her previous form dies - she has conquered death many times this way, to the point that she does not fear it. She is an ins...
Abdominal stinger
At close proximity, Mothra's stinger possesses sufficient force to effortlessly penetrate Rodan's geothermal armor. For ambiguous reasons, she appears only to use her stinger as a last resort.
Durability and stamina
Upon emerging from her cocooned state, she demonstrated exceptional endurance as she embarked on a journey in pursuit of Godzilla in the vast depths of the ocean. Swiftly undertaking a mission to protect him from Ghidorah while aiding in their combat, she faced a fierce aerial confrontation against Rodan, engaging in a bold clash and enduring impactful blows that propelled her into buildings. Despite sustaining burns from Rodan's intense heat, Mothra showed remarkable resilience and tenacity...
Energy dispersal
Upon being vaporized by Ghidorah, the radioactive cloud that remained of Mothra's body empowered the overloaded Godzilla, allowing him to unlock his Burning Godzilla form, which emits smelting heat and releases a series of all-destroying thermonuclear pulses.
Extreme heat
Rodan's extremely-high body temperature was able to slowly burn away and weaken Mothra during their fight, to the point that after the end of their fight, she was reduced to weakly slouching and crawling, and her wings were singed to the point where she had visible difficulty flying straight during her last charge at Ghidorah.
Gravity beams
After Mothra was badly weakened by her fight with Rodan, a direct blast from all three of Ghidorah's gravity beams was enough to disintegrate her, leaving behind nothing but a radioactive cloud.
