Subtitle: Super Gigantic Monopole Organism

Conception

Etymology

Mokian is named after the Japanese word for "goosefish liver" .

Design

Mokian's design is based on an anglerfish, specifically the goosefish. During the design stages, a single eye was added onto the inside the mouth to make the kaiju more terrifying.

History

Ultraman Gaia

Deathbringer, an alien that inhabited Mokian and possibly the creator of Apatee and Alguros, sent Mokian to destroy XIG. The gigantic kaiju threatened to magnetically pull all of the landmass together with the power of the monopole, causing magma to rise and thus destroying the planet from within. The monopole, located inside the kaiju, was a theoretical object that was born through a big bang event, possessing only either a magnetic north or south pole.

XIG was fast to attack the kaiju, but the Aerial Base was moderately damaged in the process. Mokian continued its descent unaffected while XIG reluctantly decided to use their headquarters as a mass weapon. Gamu and the Commander temporarily stayed behind to finalize the controls. By generating a magnetic south monopole with the Repulsor Lift to attract Mokian's magnetic north monopole, Mokian was pulled to a safe altitude. However, the plan soon went awry when the Repulsor Lift, which was already damaged when Mokian attacked the ship, could not generate enough power. Soon thereafter, Mokian returned to its own course. As a last resort the Commander told PAL to set a ramming course on the kaiju, with himself and Gamu still on board.

Gamu quickly transformed into Ultraman Gaia to stop the Commander. The Ultra managed to destroy parts of the kaiju with his Quantum Stream, but the creature was too massive to be destroyed in a single attack. The mouth of Mokian opened up and revealed a single demonic orange eye. Alerted, Gaia prepared for his next attack. An orange energy ball was fired from the eye and Gaia was blasted away. Then, rods of tentacles sprung out of Mokian's fins and captured Gaia. Once held hostage, Gaia was tortured by great amounts of electricity. Mokian was once again bombarded by the Aerial Base and soon confronted it with even more attacks, crippling it.

Out of options and with the Repulsor Lift going critical, the Commander ordered PAL to ram the Aerial Base directly into Mokian. Both the Aerial Base and Mokian were destroyed, and the Commander was rescued by Gaia. Although Mokian was defeated, the plan to destroy XIG was ultimately successful.

Trivia

• Mokian's roar is a reused King of Mons's roar.
• In addition to the main prop, at least one prop was made for the destruction scenes.
• The design of the ships operated by V99 seem to be based on Mokian, and appear to be retooled from Greeza's Final Form from Ultraman X as well as Purana from Neo Ultra Q.
