Hedorah, also known as the Smog Monster, is a kaiju monster who first appeared in Toho's 1971 film Godzilla vs. Hedorah. The monster was named for Hedoro, the Japanese word for sludge, slime, vomit or chemical ooze.
Set in a post Destroy All Monsters world, humanity lives in peace, knowing that there are no more Kaiju events. But when sightings of Kaijus appear, they realize that it's only a matter of time when the King of the Monsteres returns as well.
