Biollante

Biollante (Biorante in Japanese) is a daikaiju from the Godzilla series. Biollante is also a rare female daikaiju.

Appearance

At first, Biollante was a giant rose with teeth inside her bud and long vines (merely a heavily-mutated and exponentially large "thinking" rose. In her second form, the Godzilla genes took over and Biollante's body became an abomination of biological science. Biollante's second form had a head like a mosasaur's and a maw with knife-like teeth, even on the interior lining on her mouth. In addition, six large tusks (three on each side of her mouth) protruded from the fulcrum-region of her mouth. Large numbers of vines and tendrils were a primary feature of Biollante. Some vines ended in sharp, spear-like ends, while others sported small, sharp-toothed mouths. In Biollante's first form, a large, fleshy sac was surrounded by her overlaying vines. What this object was has never been determined. In her second form, what appeared to be meaty flesh was seen underneath the tangled mess of vines and plant-tissue. The fleshy surface was pink and had many wrinkles and lines, resembling a brain-like surface.

Height and Weight

Biollante is 85 meters (255 feet) tall and weighs 100,000 tons in her first form. In the second form, the plant is 120 meters (360 feet) tall and weighs 200,000 tons.

Abilities

Biollante, in her rose form, can constrict and grapple with an enemy with her many tendrils and mouthed vines, each of which are capable of spitting a highly corrosive acid sap that can blind an opponent. Biollante can dissolve into golden energy particles and ascend into space. In Biollante's rose form, her cellular division is abnormally affected by Godzilla's atomic beam, resulting negatively in heavy body damage. When Biollante changes form, her "monster side" is revealed and she becomes a horrible plant abomination. Biollante's second form sports a massive jawed head with countless teeth and enormous tusks; an arched back with plate-like plant spines; and four stubby, root-like legs that Biollante utilizes as a means of locomotion. Biollante retains all previous abilities, though does acquire one additonal one, which is the ability to spit large quantities of radioactive corrosive sap (the radiation is clearly visible as orange energy spores within the sap stream). The tendrils resemble spears and are capable of piercing flesh another monster's flesh relatively easily. Despite her plant-like body and rather grounded-looking appearance, Biollante is capable of moving across the ground rather quickly.

Origin

Biollante was made when Doctor Shiragami put plant cells, human cells (of his daughter Erika Shiragami), and Godzilla cells (a.k.a G-Cells) together. Biollante runs out of the science laboratory and stops at Lake Ashino. Then Mount Mihara erupts and Godzilla gets out of the volcano. He heads to Osaka. He meets Biollante at Ashino and the kaiju fight, but Godzilla is too strong and he wins. At Osaka the JSDF inject Anti Nuclear Bacteria into him. The bacteria would make his body hot and kill him. But at first, it does not work. Then spours fell to the ground and Biollante comes again in a newer and stronger form. They fight again, but the bacteria starts working on Godzilla and he gets weak. He falls down in the sea water. Biollante dies and she breaks into spours and flies away into space. The water cools down Godzilla's body and he lives. He swims away to the Bering Sea.

Battle

Biollante's first encounter with Godzilla was inevitable. Godzilla had actually sensed the presence of another living being with the same genetic makeup as himself, and felt an uncontrollable urge to travel to the originating site of this feeling. It was also mentioned by Miki Saegusa, an individual endowed with ESP, that Biollante had been "calling out to Godzilla" (whether or not this calling was intentional or not was never explained). Biollante, in her first encounter, fought defensively with wave after wave of tangling vines. Despite the great effort that the plant/monster hybrid exerted, it failed miserably and took heavy damage from Godzilla's atomic beam. Godzilla eventually managed to set Biollante aflame as Biollante seemingly burned to death. However, it was reaffirmed that Biollante was immortal as everyone watched Biollante begin dissolving into energy particles to ascend into space. Later on, Biollante confronted Godzilla again, this time at her own will. Their second battle had clearly turned the offensive/defensive tables. Now, Biollante was clearly pursuing and fighting Godzilla offensively, to eliminate his threat to the inhabitants of Earth. Whereas, Godzilla was now fighting with all his might to defend against such a collosus who fought more mercilessly than the King of the Monsters himself. The outcome of the battle resulted in Godzilla retreating as Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria began to take effect, and he is overcome by it. He collapsed into the sea facefirst, laying apparently unconscious. Biollante, on the other hand, had also suffered a devastating blow when Godzilla fired a blast of his beam directly into Biollante's throat, blowing out her back. She was forced to retreat as well, and dissolved into spores again and ascneded into space, likely never to be seen again. Shortly after, Godzilla regained strength from the cooling waters of the ocean (which stopped the breeding of the bacteria) and headed out to sea to recuperate.
