Name: Kumonga aka Spiga
First Appearance: Son of Godzilla
Kumonga is probably many peoples worst nightmare: a giant
spider about 135 feet long and 18 feet high and weighing nearly 80,000 tons.
The name Kumonga comes from the Japanese word for spiderクモ
(kumo). Sporting black and yellow striped patterns, cold-blue eyes, large fangs, and able to shoot super strong
webbing from its mouth, Kumonga was a formidably enemy for Godzilla.
According to the journal of Dr. Matsumia, Kumonga was a type
of very large spider to dwell in the jungle of Sogell Island. However, exposure
to the radioactive storm of 1967 created by the UN's failed weather experiment
mutated Kumonga into a 45-meter tall kaiju. The same weather experiment that
created the Kamacuras. After killing one of the Kamacuras, Kumonga took on
Godzilla himself and nearly killed him. But, thanks to the help of Manilla,
Godzilla was able to severely burn Kumonga with their radioactive breath and
chase the creature away. Kumonga participated in the final battle in Destroy
All Monsters and helped Mothra entangle King Ghidorah in webbing. He also was
taken over by the Xiliens in Final Wars and destroyed a trailer in the Arizona
desert and fought Godzilla once again. Only to be swung around by his own
webbing and soared into the distance, never to be seen again.
