Design TokyoMosuImago Type Puppet, CGI Nicknames FinalMosuImago Portrayed By Puppet (With wires), 3D Models Used In Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., Godzilla: Final Wars

The TokyoMosuImago (東京モス成虫^?, TōkyōMosuSeichū) is the Mothra Imago puppet design used in the 2003 and 2004 Godzilla films, Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. and Godzilla: Final Wars.

Name

In Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., the TokyoMosuLarva's name comes from the film's Japanese title, specifically Tōkyō (東京^?), Mosu, from Mothra's Japanese name, Mosura (モスラ^?), and Imago, from the fact that it is a design for Mothra's Imago form.

In Godzilla: Final Wars, the FinalMosuImago's name comes from the film's title, specifically the word final (ファイナル^?, Fainaru), Mosu, from Mothra's Japanese name, Mosura (モスラ^?), and Imago, from the fact that it is a design for Mothra's Imago form.

Detail

The puppet was different from the previous SokogekiMosuImago, returning to its fluffy and soft look and losing the wasp-like appearance. The puppet kept the slimness of the SokogekiMosuImago puppet, making it look more real than the other fluffy HeiseiMosuImago and ShodaiMosuImago puppets. This puppet is also called the FinalMosuImago (ファイナルモス成虫^?, FainaruMosuSeichū) in Godzilla: Final Wars.
