Kameba
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kamoebas (カメーバ Kamēba?) is a fictional monster that appeared in the 1970 film, Space Amoeba.
In the film, there were a race of wicked alien beings called the Amoeba, who mutated ordinary aquatic animals into huge, horrible monsters. Kamoebas was one of them; it was an ordinary turle mutated by the Amoeba and grew to an enourmous size. Rather than a beak like a normal turtle, Kamoebas has a mouth filled with sharp teeth- it also has an extendable neck, similar to the mata mata turtle. (The mata mata may have been the inspiration for Kameobas- indeed, its scientific name is revealed to be "Megalo-Matamata" in Tokyo SOS.)
Kameobas and the crab, Ganimes were sent to kill the people on Selga Island. However, a group of bats showed up and their shrill cries created super sonic waves. The monsters were vulnerable to the waves and the alien mind control was severed.
The titans begin to battle ferociously. During the fight, the giants end up at an erupting volcano. In the end, Ganimes tosses the huge turtle into the crater. However, Kamoebas could not die alone and it clamped its powerful jaws onto the crab's claw. Ganimes could not resist the immense weight of the turtle, and it was pulled into the crater along with Kamoebas. They both died and the Amoeba inside them died with the kaiju.
In Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., a gigantic turtle is found dead on a beach with three huge claw marks on one side of its neck. It was Kamoebas. The animal had encountered Godzilla at sea and was brutally murdered. Other than that, nothing else is known about this Kamoebas
