I'm back to do another log! I'm running my Mothra Tama for the first time and figured I would do a log for it. I know very little about the Mothras. Since the instructions were all in Japanese, I looked them up in English to at least make sure I generally know what I'm doing in caring for it (very similar to standard classic Tamas), but I still don't know much about what to expect.
It's newly opened and running on the original 1997 batteries. Still amazes me that every '90s Tama that I've bought new/unopened has worked on the original batteries. That's less common with Giga Pets and other brands in my experience (they are more likely to have battery corrosion).
For anyone who doesn't know, Mothra is a creature from some of the Godzilla movies and dates back to the early '60s.
Anyway, here we go. As usual, I'll post my photos as thumbnails, so if you'd like to see them full-size, make sure to click them.
DAY 1
Here's a video of the hatch. Definitely unique and I love it! I love that it includes the two fairies that sing to Mothra.

The two fairies also sing to the Mothra when it gets sick; the fairies function like the medicine icon on a regular Tama. My Mothra has already gotten sick twice on its first day.
It's asleep for the night. Current age is 1 and weight is a whopping 23 tons. It's on its second evolution; it started as larvae and has evolved to what I think is a caterpillar stage.
First/larval form:
Second/caterpillar form:
I enjoy its game. I'll post a video of that tomorrow or when I have time.
I don't think it has called for discipline (or "justice") at all today. I've had the sound on and had it near me throughout the day, so I don't think I missed any calls. So the justice meter currently is at zero, but I've been keeping the hunger and happiness meters up.
Like a regular Tama, it was more needy in its first/baby form. After its first evolution, the meters have been emptying much more slowly, thank God.
