One of the special features included on the home video release, titled "Reimagining Rodan", sheds some light on where Rodan's fire powers actually come from. According to director Michael Dougherty, Rodan's fire powers come as a direct result of hibernating inside a volcano. What happened to Rodan can be explained by basic science: when an animal species begins living under unfamiliar, unsuitable conditions, it adapts to its environment over a great deal of time. Rodan survived simply by adapting to the volcano. As time passed, Rodan grew an outer shell of volcanic rock. This could also explain why lava circulates through Rodan's body as blood. It could have been another biological byproduct that Rodan experienced as his body adapted to living in volcanic conditions for many years. What all this suggests is that, prior to his resurrection, Rodan as not the Fire Demon at all. Instead, he could have been more like his Toho counterpart. Though Toho's Rodan did live in a volcano, he didn't typically possess fire powers or a volcanic outer shell, which is unique to Legendary Entertainment's MonsterVerse.
