First off, I apologize for the cropped image. My scanner is just slightly smaller than the surface area of the drawing.



This is a near complete concept for the unmade kaiju, Dethla.



My interpretation of this creature begins with the short description given by Yoshimitsu Banno, a Japanese director, writer and producer best known for directing and co-writing Godzilla Vs. Hedorah.



As he described Dethla; upright, red colored, slimy, Human skull for a face and having bone-like spikes down it's back and shoulders. Dethla also was said to have a mushroom-like form and breakdown into a swarm of locust.



Given these descriptive details, I would also dip into some other Toho films for inspiration. Namely, based on the Mushroom idea; I used the Matango as a key component for my design. Narratively, my version of Dethla is a gestalt hivemind organism created by the countless dead infected by the those infected by the cordycep-like fungus, the Matango.



Making Dethla a literal manifestation of human death and suffering, making it's existence an absolute threat to all forms of life. But, I'm sure it's nothing a few atomic beams can't fix.
