Kumonga is a giant spider kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1967 Godzilla film, Son of Godzilla.
Appearance[]
Kumonga's designs are very consistent throughout his appearances. His body is black with yellow patterns with cold-color eyes, an arachnid mouth, and eight legs.
Abilities[]
Kumonga can shoot a thick webbing and a stinger from his mandibles. Kumonga has prehensile pedipalps that can be used to grab small prey. The Showa version was able to survive multiple hits from Godzilla's atomic ray. The Millennium Kumonga's web was able to expand on contact with air from a single thread into a net for incapacitating foes. He also has long legs ending in sharp points which can be used to skewer opponents or crush through materials like in a scene in the movie Godzilla Final Wars. He also appears to have jumping abilities.
Origins[]
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.
