Background[]

When the Oxygen Destroyer was detonated at the bottom of Tokyo Bay in 1954, it revived a colony of Precambrian crustaceans trapped in the strata, and the resulting anaerobic conditions caused the creatures to undergo an abnormal path of mutation and evolution until they finally came to the surface in 1996. Able to grow and evolve by combining with each other, the creatures took on numerous different forms before finally converging into a single gigantic demonic monster. Destoroyah fought Godzilla at the peak of his power and nearly defeated him, but was finally destroyed by a combination of the JSDF's ULT cryolasers and the extreme heat given off by the near-meltdown Godzilla.

Powers & Abilities[]

Micro-Oxygen Empowerment: Due to being explosion of the Oxygen Destroyer, micro-oxygen has incorporated into their biological processes.
- Oxygen Destroyer ray: A purple helix-shaped micro-oxygen energy beam that could penetrate metal and disintegrate organic matter.
- Micro-Oxygen Spray: Destoroyah can fire a micro-oxygen spray that can destroy matter on a molecular level.
- Micro-Oxygen Explosion: Destoroyah can emit giant explosive spheres of Micro-Oxygen.
- Micro-Oxygen Comet: Destoroyah can fire Micro-Oxygen comets.
Variable Slicer: The horn protruding from Destoroyah's forehead in his perfect form has the ability to generate a blade of energy powerful enough to cut through Godzilla's flesh, an ability named the Variable Slicer, also known as the Horn Katana or Laser Horn.
Prehensile Tail: Destoroyah's tail can act as an extra limb, able to grasp whatever it can get it's deadly pincers on.
Energy Draining: Like a vampire, Destoroyah can steal energy from his victims.
Breakdown: Being a composite life form formed through trillions of near-microscopic organisms, Destoroyah can break down into smaller individuals with a hive mind. These individuals can merge into a single form as well.
DNA Absorption: Destoroyah can absorb the DNA of creatures he attacks by dissolving their cells with micro-oxygen. This is how he evolved further into even more powerful forms after absorbing Godzilla Junior's DNA.
Stomach Beam: Destoroyah was originally planned to have another attack: a beam fired from the floral pattern on his chest known simply as the Stomach Beam. This was cut from the film, but is present in the manga adaptation, where it is shown to be powerful enough to cut off part of Godzilla's tail and break off one of his dorsal fins. Deleted scenes from the film show Destoroyah using the beam (which is not animated and represented only by light and sparks), which easily knocks Godzilla off his feet.

Alternate Forms[]

Microscopic Form[]

In its most basic form, Destoroyah looks like a tiny red horseshoe crab. Destoroyah is still deadly in this form and wiped out an entire aquarium full of fish. Micro Destoroyah is one millimeter tall, 3 millimeters long, and weighs .5 kilograms.

Juvenile Form[]

In its juvenile form, Destoroyah looks like a giant spider-like crab with a frill on its head and a secondary mouth inside of its mouth. It gains the ability to fire a micro-oxygen beam in this form. Juvenile Destoroyah is 2 meters tall, 2 meters long, and weighs 260 tons.

Aggregate Form[]

In its aggregate form, Destoroyah looks like a much larger version of the juvenile with two crab claws and two massive spear-like claws on its back. Aggregate Destoroyah is 40 meters tall, 40 meters long, and weighs 15,000 tons.

Flying Form[]

In its flying form, Destoroyah has two wing-like lobes on its sides, a forked tail, and a nasal horn. It gains flight capabilities and retains its micro-oxygen beam. Flying Destoroyah is 65 meters long with a wingspan of 80 meters and weighs 15,000 tons.

Perfect Form[]

In its final perfect or complete form, Destoroyah looks like a huge hellish demon with bat-like wings, a spiky exoskeleton, a horn on its head, and a crescent-tipped tail. Perfect Destoroyah is 120 meters tall and 230 meters long with a wingspan of 210 meters and weighs 80,000 tons.
