Bio: To say that DAGARLA (sometimes called "Dagarha") is a living weapon would be like calling Godzilla "a big lizard." Single-minded and ferocious by nature, Dagarla attacks and destroys without mercy, and all that intimidating jargon than follows the wake of the deadly sea monster. Yet where did such a monstrousity come from? It can't be natural, and it's too perfect a destroyer to be a simple mutation...
As expected, Dagarla is a creation of Gigamass, made to purge the worlds oceans. When Shiori went back home to her native Okinawa for the summer, she didnt expect the curse of the living bio-tech to follow her even there. The tides around the island were turning red with BAREM, small starfish mutations made by Dagarla himself to assimilate raw biomass for the monsters energy supply. Ghogos bodily fluids fought off the ill effects of the Barems venom, but the only way to get rid of Dagarla was to try and find some old Elias tech. Shiori and a pair of dorks from her summer school classes soon found themselves deep in an ancient Elias-made temple, long hidden beneath the waves, thanks to Belveras meddling. Meanwhile, Mothra arrived to battle Dagarla, but the sea monster proved itself nigh-untouchable while under water, and Mothra soon found herself being dragged beneath the waves to share her mothers fate until BATTRA intervened! The armored insect was more than capable of fighting undersea while Mothra climbed the tower to try and heal her Barem-covered body.
Deep within the structure, the kids found a holographic download of one of the Elias's chief scientists. She gave them a strange new object, the "Orb of Love." She revealed to them that the Seal of Faith, bound to Ghogo's tail, was one of the tools used to seal Gigamass. The Orb was the second, but it was no longer safe with her now that Gigamass has targeted the tower. So, she gave it to Shiori.
It wasnt until Ghogos power was finally unlocked that the little piece of Gigamass, intended to be a failsafe should the power ever go out-of-control, sacrificed its energy to rid Mothra of the Barem infection.
Mothra and Battra lead a combined elemental assault on Dagarla and destroyed the monster. But with Ghogo gone and the Gigamass core still hidden somewhere, how could Mothra hope to erase this menace?
Abilties/Aspects: - Able to produce Barem, who, in turn, collect organic matter, with which to produce more Barem. - Can fire Irabushan beam from mouth - Limited flight - Able to create waterspouts (giant water tornados) - Can swim in excess of 50 knots - Shoulder cannons can fire concentrated Barems and toxins to attack foes
I really like the deign on this guy. I can completely imagine him streaming through the water. Even with the giant shoulders, he looks really streamline.
Dagarla looks bad ass! ROM 2 was my least favorite of the trilogy, but Dagarla was the best thing about the movie. He had a great design and some pretty awesome powers too, all of which you've enhanced 100 fold here in this drawing. You never fail to impress, dude, and better yet you make it look easy to revamp something. But I know it takes a lot of hard work to keep pumping out high quality work like this, but I certainly appreciate it.
It's stuff like this that reminds me why I'm still a fan of daikaiju eiga to this day.

...I don't know what to say... THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!! I just simply love it! It looks freaking bad@$$!! And you just turned one of my favorite characters into the number 2 (Godzilla always being number 1, lol) character in the Neo franchise!!! I highly anticipate Razin's arrival. And the Battra twist... Awesome!
This is truly one of the best redesigns you've done for the series, and I hope you plan to follow through and draw the Barem as well...maybe even combine them with Hitoda / the Mutant Starfish from one of the unmade sequels to "Smog Monster"?
i really enjoy the concept of this guy here, much more better looking then his movie counterpart... hate to be a picky nose but what happen to that star fish monster Barem

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt.
