[edit] Appearance
Monster X is a draconic, vaguely humanoid-looking monster, covered in a skeletal looking armour. On its head are a pair of swept back horns, and three large, bony plates run down its back. It has a long, whiplike, forked tail, and finally, on his shoulders, Monster X has a pair of bony protrusions resembling skulls on its shoulders.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Monster X is arguably one of the mightiest Toho Kaiju. He is swift, agile and strong, and a very capable opponent in hand-to-hand combat. He is able to fire a series of golden energy beams from his eyes and the skulls on his shoulders which were able to bring the King of the Monsters to his knees in agony. Finally, his armour is incredibly tough, able to withstand a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath at point-blank range with absolutely no effect.
[edit] Film Appearance
Monster X was summoned by the Xilians as their trump card against Godzilla, coming to earth inside a meteor (in homage to Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster). Godzilla and Monster X commenced battle, with Monster X holding an initial advantage, and then fought to a standstill. Mothra arrived to even the odds, and in response, the Xilians sent out the upgraded Gigan, who quickly dispatched her, and then assisted Monster X. Monster X and Gigan were briefly able to overcome Godzilla, when Mothra attacked once more and knocked both of them down. Gigan resumed his battle with Mothra, and both were killed. Monster X and Godzilla locked beams, causing a massive explosion which floored both Kaiju.
Godzilla staggered to his feet, and looked up to see Monster X undergo a terrifying transformation; he dropped to all fours, grew wings, bulked up, his skin turned golden, and then finally, his neck elongated and his shoulder skulls filled out and became a pair of extra heads. Monster X was actually Keizer Ghidorah in disguise all along!
Godzilla commenced battle with Keizer Ghidorah, and was completely overwhelmed by his opponent's awesome power. The King of the Monsters very nearly met his end when Keizer Ghidorah began to suck out all his energy, but a power boost from the Superhuman Ozaki gave Godzilla the strength he needed to vanquish his ultimate foe once and for all.
[edit] Trivia
Monster X is not to be confused with Jiger, the titular Kaiju from "Gamera vs Monster X", (also known as Gamera vs. Jiger).
