This paper toy is the Mothra, a giant divine moth kaiju, generally regarded as female by audiences, created by Toho Studios and the second monster to appear in a Godzilla series film, opposing Godzilla for the first time in Mothra vs. Godzilla and first appearing in 1961's Mothra film, the papercraft was created by Darkeyedkid.
Despite having wrought destruction worthy of any Toho kaiju, she is almost always portrayed as a kind and benevolent creature, causing destruction only when acting as protector to her worshipers on Infant Island or to her egg, or as collateral damage while protecting Earth from a greater threat. Mothra is usually accompanied by two tiny priestesses or fairies who also speak for her.
Since her first film, Mothra has been depicted in various stages of the lepidopteran life cycle: Mothra's mammoth egg is decoratively colored in blue and yellow waves. The egg hatches into her larva, a massive brown, segmented caterpillar with glowing blue, sometimes red, eyes. In rare circumstances, twins may emerge from the egg. The caterpillar eventually spins a silken cocoon around itself, and from this cocoon the imago Mothra emerges, a gigantic moth-like creature with brightly-colored wings. Mothra's life cycle-particularly the tendency of an imago's death to coincide with its larvae hatching - echoes that of the Phoenix, resembling resurrection and suggesting divinity.
In Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Mothra is portrayed with purple eyes, although her eyes are normally blue. [Source: wikia]
