List of Toho Alien Races - Vortaak

Vortaak

The Vortaak are an alien warlike species that appeared in the Godzilla Vortaak Saga of video games, and seem to be based on the Xilians that appear in Monster Zero and Godzilla Final Wars. In Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee the Vortaak seem to be one of the Universe's most dominant species. They conquer planets to expand their civilization. They attack Earth by the best way possible: controlling the Kaiju. Godzilla (not the only monster available) breaks free from the alien mind control and defeats the other Kaiju, who are released from their control and flee to their homes. The Vortaak bring Godzilla aboard their ship to kill him for his attack on them. Their "champion", Mechagodzilla, is released on him, but Godzilla defeats him and is teleported back to Earth as the Vortaak flee with their evil scheme foiled. The upcoming Godzilla: Unleashed website reveals show that the Vortaak have secretly attacked Earth before this game.

The Vortaak return two years later in Godzilla: Save the Earth. The Vortaak queen oversees her planned attempts to conquer Earth because of their recent defeat. The Vortaak try to steal Godzilla's DNA by tricking the humans. Godzilla travels across the globe after being aware of their return. He passes numerous tests including defeating a larger variety of monsters until he is brought aboard the royal Vortaak ship to defeat the result of his stolen genes, SpaceGodzilla. Godzilla wins the battle and returns home once again, leaving the Vortaak queen Vorticia screaming as they flee.

The Vortaak appear as villains in the next entry in the series Godzilla: Unleashed on the Alien Faction, though Spacegodzilla, Krystalak, and their faction, the Mutants, are the main antagonists of the game. They play an important role in the games storyline and climax due to the fact that they control one of the four teams in the game and the changing storyline. The alien mothership in this game is partially destroyed in a crash and rather than fixing it Vorticia focuses all the Vortaak's power on the recently discovered alien crystals on Earth. Vorticia's plan is to send the players monster to Earth to steal the crystals to empower her own monsters more powerful than Earth's. The Mothership is eventually destroyed in gameplay.

In the Xbox version of Destroy All Monsters Melee, the Vortaak mothership homeworld is an arena. It is unknown if this is actually their homeplanet or if just another planet in their system. It is unlocked by beating adventure mode with Kiryu.The planet has a harsh rocky landscape surrounded by mountains and rocks are in the landscape and few buildings.
