==Overview== ===Characteristics=== Similar to nearly every kaiju in the Godzilla franchise, Megaguirus was at one point exposed to radioactive materials, resulting in a substantial increase in strength, speed and size. After obtaining energy from the Meganula, Megaguirus is able to fly at incredibly fast speeds, up to mach 5. She is able to flap her wings at super-sonic speeds, creating shock waves that can destroy buildings. Her enlarged tail works similar to the stinger of a scorpion, it jabs her foe and latches on to it. Once the stinger is in Megaguirus's opponent, it can either absorb energy for herself or release a blast of energy composed of her opponent's beam weapon. Additionally, while flying, her wings cause electronic disturbances.
