Rodan (New Earth-Forty Two)

Early Existince
Rodan's early history is unknown, but the Kaiju is believed to have been alive just as long as Godzilla. Rodan lived primarily in the Oceania region of the world, with his main nest inside the volcano known as Mt. Taranaki in New Zealand. Rodan is believed to be the source of the Māori God, Rūaumoko, who was the God of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Seasons, due to his movements inside the volcano accidentally causing small eruptions and volcanic activity.

Rodan would at some unknown point begin a hibernation cycle in Mt. Taranaki, where he would rest for centuries, which caused the Māori people to slowly believe his existence to be a legend.
