Following reports of human life on Infant Island, the supposedly deserted site of atomic bomb tests, an international expedition to the heavily-radiated island discovers a native tribe and tiny twin female fairies called “Shobijin” who guard a sacred egg. The overzealous expedition leader kidnaps the Shobijin to exhibit in a Tokyo stage show but soon they summon their protector, hatching the egg and releasing a giant caterpillar. When Mothra arrives in Japan and transforms into her final form, the nation and its people face their destruction. (Eureka Entertainment)

Kaiju films are the kind that simply have to work for you. They don't change much because they simply work with a basic plot. However, the story of the film "Mosura" is a little more elaborate, but the main weapon is the beautiful monster, which is simply a wonderful change from all those reptiles and one of the most beautiful that the Japanese have come up with. This is simply an example of how creative a kaiju can be.
