Description

Shobijins

height: 9 inches
type- fairy familiars

The shobijins are rumored to be the "parental figures" of Mothra. As of Mothra's Loyalty to them, they also had respect for the divinity of the creature. Some says that the Shobijins are born "along" with Mothra, making their relationship as strong as of siblings.

The truth is that the Shobijins were born a million years ago along with who appears to be the first "Mothra" named Leo by the spirit of the Earth. Leo lasted until the arrival of modernization, thus dividing itself into two entities: Mothra and Battra. One of the Shobijin twins can call one of the moths, yet due to Battra's overwhelming power, the Shobijins cannot sate the moth's power and thus the dark moth broke off any bonds with either the twins or his defensive sister, Mothra.

Battra was never heard of again and the Shobijins were left with Mothra instead.

Unknowningly to the humans, The Shobijins had they own individual names but both doesn't live up the topic often and prefer to be called collectively instead. One, Moll, is the lighter-headed of the twins and more of a easy going character with a tendency to forget; while Lora had a stronger sense of justice between the twins and more common sense.

They appear to have telepathic bonds not only with Mothra's but to other animals as well as monsters. They understood the speech and language of nature and can easily tell what goes in the minds of each creature created.

Human became aware of their existance after the arrival of Mothra. they served as humanity's link towards monsters and probably their mentors as well as oracles of the future.

(note: At some point in their existance, the Shobijins did became celebrities for Japanese viewers as well as a few outside Japan. Getting them off the island was a challenge as Mothra was over-protective about her sisters. They agree to go if they can only be out for a month.

A smaller version of Mothra appears from time to time are actually The Shobijin's tranporting familiar, called Fairy/ Fairy Mothra by the twins. Not to be confused with Mothra larvas.)

personally, I think they should go with the idea that there are they are race of these beings like they showed in the original story; the luminious fairies of Mothra. they hinted that during the 90's godzilla movie, the trilogy, and millennium series. I think there would more story possibilities and greatly help expand the lore of the character.
