ONI GODZILLA (鬼ゴジラ)
The Ancient Purifier
Finally time so share the updated and final design of Oni Gojira!
This is my original take on The King of The Monsters
Oni Goji is a spirit god and protector of nature in Ancient Japan
My Godzilla is inspired by Yōkai, specifically the Oni, he embodies rage and fire, He's a spirit that will burn everything down in order to restore nature.
Oni Goji doesn't have actual dorsal plates, fire that mimmick it's shape are in it's place. fire being his main motif he's filled with fiery and flowing pointy shapes.
His back has a rift from which his fire 'dorsal plates' come from, as well as molten gold originated from the metal deposits in The Volcano.
When he's enraged the fire on his back bursts on extreme heat and strenght, displaying his intense emotion.
Oni Goji is weak to water, as it slows him down and he'd rather stay on land, but he's capable of walking on the ocean floor, or if needed, floating and propelling himself with fire.
As The Purifier of nature, His 'mouth belly' is a Lava furnace, he uses it to terraform any destroyed land and create new fertile one.
Oni Gojira has no link with any sort of atomic or radioactive origin, so he only posseses a regular fire breath, although whatever is burned by him produces extremely rich ashes.
As a spirit of nature, Oni Godzilla can't die, at least not permanently, whenever defeated in his physical form, he is reborn from The Volcano, this is his place of rest and resurrection.
