Minilla (Japanese: ミニラ, Hepburn: Minira) is a fictional monster, or kaiju who first appeared in Toho's 1967 film Son of Godzilla.
[3] In his debut film, Son of Godzilla, Minilla was born on Sollgel Island, when his egg was prematurely cracked open by a group of mutant giant mantises called Kamacuras.
Godzilla and Minilla were placed in hibernation when a group of scientists completed a weather experiment, resulting in the freezing of their island.
In Godzilla: Final Wars, Minilla accompanies Kenta and Samon Taguchi on an adventure around Japan after he was found by them in Aokigahara during Xillien invasion.
Minilla arrives at ruined Tokyo after Godzilla defeated Keizer Ghidorah and convinced his father to forgive mankind for their sins.
