Mothra is implied to go through gender affirmation via cocoon in the original 1961 novel 'The Luminous Fairies and Mothra', according to the novel's English translator, Jeffrey Angles. The text suggests that Mothra is initially a male larva and later emerges as a female. 臺勤 Another fascinating series of details in The Luminous Fairies and Mothra showcases Mothra going through numerous transformations beyond just larva and adult stages. Angles reflects that when writer, "Shinichiro Nakamura was approached by Toho Studios, he thought, 'wouldn't it be fun for Mothra to through a series of transformations so that we can do different kinds of special effects on screen?" This is where Nakamura came up with the idea of a moth being the vehicle to showcase these transformations. Lastly, Angles notes that Mothra's transformative qualities were even present in the language used in referring to the character's shifting gender identity throughout the novella. He explains, “Japanese is a language that doesn't require you to use gender pronouns at all... for the first part, Mothra is not described with any pronouns at all... but then at a certain point, when Mothra's a larva... there's a funny moment when suddenly the text refers to that larva as a 'he'... after that, once Mothra reaches Japan there is an exciting moment when Mothra creates a cocoon...at that point, the gender pronouns disappear and we get an indication in the text that says “Well, what kind of daughter will be born out of the cocoon once it hatches?" so we get a hint here that Mothra is transforming into a female persona."
