The left head appears to have a slightly more rectangular facial structure with slightly further-apart eyes than the other two. Furthermore, one of the right head's left horns is chipped.

Though Ghidorah takes on a bipedal stance when standing still, unlike past incarnations, Ghidorah is able to move on his legs and uses his wings as forelimbs to support his massive body for crawling or even running when needed. All these phalanges end in blade-like tips that emerge from the wing membrane. Ghidorah's wings are much larger and more bat-like in appearance than most incarnations - the membrane of each wing is supported by four bat-like phalanges extending from Ghidorah's wrists, and an additional three phalanges that extend from the sides of Ghidorah's torso.
