Extended plot
Approximately 10,000 years ago, the earth was ruled by a race of homo sapiens Invictus, and their greatest civilization was Nilai-Kanai near modern-day Japan. Also calling themselves the Nilai-Kanai, the people created a monster that would consume their excessive pollution they named Dagahra. The creature's appetite proves insatiable and it soon goes rogue, destroying the entire civilization except for its temple, eventually retreating to the depths of the ocean. In her dying moments, Princess Yue manages to send the diminutive Gorgo to the surface world.

In modern times, Gorgo attempts to warn humanity of Dagahra's arrival but is ignored. He lands on Infant Island and intercepts the landing expedition, warning them of the impending danger and joining them.

The expedition inquires about the Nilai-Kanai and the natives tell their legends of the civilization. They agree to convince Mothra to fight for them and their survival.
