Bio: Eons ago, before KING GHIDORA was driven from the planet earth by GIGAMOTH, he came to a strange world where silicon was the base element of life instead of hydrogen. Posessing an extremely high surface temperature, life here operated on a cycle or reducing an oxidizing Iron, similar to the way we circulate oxygen and carbon dioxide with plants. It was on this planet, that a nameless kaiju lived and guarded its inhabitants from harm, caring for it's mate ERABUS and their offspring, DAIGORO. That is, until one day when a golden dragon descended from the heavens. The Kaiju fought mightily, managing to grasp a single one of its golden scales in it's jaw, but was beaten back and thrown into the planet's ocean of Mercury as the golden beast tore apart the strange planet, as well as murdering his family. When he finally awoke, he discovered his planet barren and devoid of all life, and his wife and son murdered. Driven by overwhelming rage, he left for space, absorbing as much of the planet`s atmosphere as possible for the long trip as he followed the faint trail, grabbing asteroids along the way for sustinence.
Centuries, then millenia slowly passed as he struggled to keep up with the dragon's trail, but all he found were barren worlds, destroyed the same as his. Finally, he had felt that the monster was staying on a single world more than usual. Barely having strength after thousands of years of chase, he struggled to power himself to the strange, blue planet that was just coming into view. However, he had overestimated himself. After so many millenia, his strength gave out, and he collapsed on the dark side of earth's moon. There, he sayed in a deep unconscious statis...until 65 million years later, when probes made by the native species would disturb him..

Natual Exhalation damages the earth's atmosphere though metallic poisoning.
Concentrated "Metalizer" beam throws his respiratory system into reverse and coats anything it touches with a thick layer of metal that, if left untouches, will begin to alter the struture unerneath.

weaknesses:
Virtually insane with rage after seeking revenge for so long, his memory has been long warped. Anything that even remotely resembles the golden dragon will be considered a target.
