History
Rodan was created the Japanese company Toho in 1956. He first appeared in the 1956 movie "Rodan" two years after the original Godzilla movie. Rodan first appeared alongside Godzilla in the 1964 movie "Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster" (which was the first appearance of another popular Godzilla enemy, King Ghidorah). Rodan would appear in many more Godzilla movies to count, including Destroy all Monsters, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2, Godzilla: Final Wars, and more, making him one of Godzilla's most popular adversary's.

Rodan was confirmed to be appearing in Godzilla 2, along with Mothra and King Ghidorah, on July 26, 2014.

Origin
Rodan is an Irradiated Pteranodon that hatched out of an egg in the mountains.

Abilities
Aside from his impressive speed and agility, Rodan possesses a variety of special abilities. He is capable of creating destructive shockwaves when flying, which he has used to destroy many cities such as Tokyo and Moscow. In addition, Rodan can cause powerful winds while on the ground by simply flapping his wings. He also uses his beak and talons effectively in battle (as shown in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2, where his beak was powerful enough to crush boulders), and his wings, despite their delicate appearance, are quite durable. Rodan can lift creatures several times his weight, for instance, Godzilla. Rodan also usually has spikes on his head and chest, which he may use in battle.
