[edit] Appearance
Orga's appearance is that of a grotesque, hunch backed monster with thick, rubbery grey hide. Most prominent are Orga's massive hands, which it uses to knucklewalk not unlike a gorilla. It has a short, thick, tail and a short neck as well. Its face has a square jaw with a prominent chin, lined with rows of serrated teeth. Some have likened Orga's appearance to Zilla.
Orga is a fierce fighter who possesses a multitude of abilities. Orga's massive claws are formidable weapons in close combat which can deliver a nasty punch. It can fire a beam with incredible kinetic force, powerful enough to send Godzilla flying backwards several hundred feet. Orga is much more agile then his hulking appearance suggests, able to leap high and far through the air. Finally, Orga can absorb an opponent's DNA by biting them, and can detach its upper and lower jaws and unfold a hidden membrane in order to try and swallow an opponent whole. Orga's greatest asset, however, is his durability. Thanks to absorbing Organizer G1 from Godzilla, he is endowed with incredibly advanced regenerative properties, able to heal from most injuries though at a slower rate than Godzilla himself.
[edit] Origin
For most of the movie, the Millenian was dwelling within a Spaceship, which crashed into the ocean 60 million years ago and lay dormant until it was brought to the surface by the CCI.
Upon its revival, the ship engaged Godzilla in combat, defeating him, and set about collecting info on Godzilla. In the manga, the Millenian was a collective race of human-like entities.
Later on, Godzilla fought the ship again in a rematch, and before it was destroyed, the Millenian left its vessel and used Godzilla's "Organizer G1" cells to attempt it's resurrection The creature seemed to be successful at first, but soon found itself unable to control the power of Organizer G1.
The Millenian's body began to mutate once more, morphing into a hideous, brutish creature. In its final battle with Godzilla, Orga attempted to swallow Godzilla whole but was killed when Godzilla fired his Nuclear Pulse inside the alien's body.
[edit] Other Appearances
Orga appears in the games "Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee" and "Godzilla: Save the Earth" as an unlockable character in both, and the Final Boss in the story mode of the latter on easy and normal difficulty settings (Orga is replaced with SpaceGodzilla when the game is set on hard). The most powerful physical character, Orga uses brute strength to overwhelm opponents. His thick hide blunts most types of attacks, except for atomic and edged attacks. Rather slow and with a moderate weapon rating, Orga must come in close to beat down his foe. His specialty is grabbing opponents while he's running or jumping and throwing them like rag dolls.
[edit] Name
Orga's name comes from Godzilla's healing ability that the former was created with. In the English-dubbed version, the name for this regeneration is called Regenerator G-1, as stated above, but in the original version it was called "Organiser G-1." The first four letters of this name spell Orga (Organiser G-1). Within the context of the English dub, Michael Schlesinger (who supervised the American release for the film) speculated in the G2K audio commentary that it could also be short for "Organism".
