Name: Kamacuras aka Gimantis
First Appearance: Son of Godzilla
Kamacuras is one of the few other monsters to be doused in radiation and become larger and stronger like Godzilla.The Americans were testing a weather control experiment on Solgell Island where the already 6 foot mantis lived. The experiment caused a radioactive storm in 1967 and caused the resident mantis to grow to enormous size. Initially scaring the United Nations, the Kamacuras find Manilla's egg, crack it open and try to devour the young Godzilla. Godzilla destroys two Kamacuras and the last one gets caught in the giant spider web of Kumonga.
The Kamacuras can be seen roaming monster island, living in peace with the other monsters and can be seen in the background in various other Godzilla films. Most notably, they made a come back in Godzilla: Final Wars. Now with the ability to camouflage themselves into the environment, Kamacuras eludes Godzilla in the hills. Only to be smoked out by his atomic breath and then impaled on an electrical tower.
