[edit] Appearence
Orga's appearance is that of a grotesque, hunch backed monster with thick, rubbery grey hide. Most prominent are Orga's massive hands, which it uses to knucklewalk not unlike a gorilla. It has a short, thick, tail and a short neck as well. Its face has a square jaw with a prominent chin, lined with rows of serrated teeth. Some have likened Orga's appearance to Zilla.
Orga is a fierce fighter who possesses a multitude of abilities. Orga's massive claws are formidable weapons in close combat which can deliver a nasty punch. It can fire a beam with incredible kinetic force, powerful enough to send Godzilla flying backwards several hundred feet. Orga is much more agile then his hulking appearance suggests, able to leap high and far through the air. Finally, Orga can absorb an opponent's DNA by biting them, and can detach its upper and lower jaws and unfold a hidden membrane in order to try and swallow an opponent whole. Orga's greatest asset, however, is his durability. Thanks to absorbing Regenerator G1 from Godzilla, he is endowed with incredibly advanced regenerative properties, able to heal from most injuries even faster than Godzilla himself.
[edit] Origin
For most of the movie, the Millenian was dwelling within a Spaceship, (somewhat resebmling a giant, smooth, metallic bicycle seat) which crashed into the ocean 60 million years ago and lay domant until it was brought to the surface by the CCI. Upon its revival, the ship engaged Godzilla in combat, defeating him, and set about collecting info on Godzilla. In the manga, the Millenian was a collective race of human-like enties.
Later on, Godzilla fought the ship again in a rematch, and before it was destroyed, the Millenian left its vessel and used Godzilla's "Regenerator G1" cells to modify its body to adapt to Earth's atmosphere. However, after several minutes of mutation and the destruction of its ship, Orga was created. In its final, epic battle with Godzilla, Orga attempted to absorb more RG1 from his opponent to become a Godzilla clone, but a pulse of atomic energy fired inside of Orga's mouth when the monster attempted to swallow Godzilla sealed his fate and killed the invader once and for all.
[edit] Other Appearences
Orga appears in the games "Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee" and "Godzilla: Save the Earth" as an unlockable character in both, and the Final Boss in the story mode of the latter on easy and normal difficulty settings (Orga is replaced with SpaceGodzilla when the game is set on hard). The most powerful physical character, Orga uses brute strength to overwhelm opponents. His thick hide blunts most types of attacks, except for atomic and edged attacks. Rather slow and with a moderate weapon rating, Orga must come in close to beat down his foe. His specialty is grabbing opponents while he's running or jumping and throwing them like rag dolls.
[edit] Name
Orga's name comes from Godzilla's healing abilty that the former was created with. In the English-dubbed version, the name for this regeneration is called Regenerator G-1, as stated above, but in the original version it was called "Organiser G-1." The first four letters of this name spell Orga (Organiser G-1).
