    Origin:
    In the old series of films, King Ghidora is a space monster who comes to earth inside a meteor. In the movie Godzilla vs King Ghidora, it is created by a clever trick by the bad guys: they replace the ailing godzillasaurus on Lagos island (see the Godzilla mini-page) with 3 genetically engineered pets. These monsters are exposed to the radiation that originally created Godzilla and this creates King Ghidora.
