the (in "destroy all monsters", 1968) were a race of female humanoids from the planet kilaak. kilaak is an endonym for one of the asteroids between mars and jupiter. the aliens invaded monsterland and assumed control of the kaiju and resident scientists. soon the monsters were attacking cities across the globe – godzilla attacked new york, rodan assaulted moscow, mothra invaded beijing, manda attacked london, and "gorosaurus" destroyed paris. despite the military's efforts to stop them, the aliens remained unscathed until their base on the moon was destroyed by the rocketship, "moonlight sy-3". when humanity freed the kaiju from their control, the aliens pulled out their trump card – king ghidorah. however, up against the combined might of godzilla, anguirus, "gorosaurus", rodan, mothra, kumonga, and minilla, ghidorah was easily slain. godzilla then destroyed the kilaaks' base on earth, ending their threat.
