[[File: Kumonga.jpeg | thumb | frameless | right | 300px | link=:Category:Tokusatsu | Kumonga ]]' ''Kumonga''' (also known as Spiga) is a giant spider kaiju that appears in the Godzilla film series produced by Toho. This monstrous arachnid first debuted in the 1967 film "Son of Godzilla" and has since become a notable creature in the kaiju genre. ==Character Overview== Kumonga is depicted as a massive spider, known for its intimidating size, web-spinning abilities, and lethal venom. It primarily resides on Sollgel Island, an isolated, tropical location. Kumonga spends much of its time hibernating underground but emerges to confront other kaiju or humans when disturbed. ==Abilities== Kumonga possesses several abilities that make it a formidable opponent: * Webbing: Kumonga can shoot thick, sticky webbing from its mouth, capable of immobilizing other kaiju. * Venomous Bite: It has a venomous bite that can paralyze or kill its victims. * Agility and Strength: Despite its large size, Kumonga is agile and strong, able to leap significant distances and grapple with other kaiju effectively. ==Appearances== '''Showa Era:''' *"Son of Godzilla" (1967): Kumonga's debut, where it battles Godzilla and his son, Minilla, eventually being defeated by the duo. *"Destroy All Monsters" (1968): In this film, Kumonga is one of the many kaiju living on Monsterland and is controlled by the Kilaaks to attack Earth's cities. Later, it joins forces with other monsters to defeat King Ghidorah. '''Heisei and Millennium Eras:''' * Kumonga makes a cameo in the 1994 film "Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla" and appears in "Godzilla: Final Wars" (2004), where it is awakened by the Xiliens to attack humans but is eventually defeated by Godzilla. ==Cultural Impact== Kumonga is part of the rich tapestry of Toho's kaiju universe. Its design is rooted in common phobias, tapping into the universal fear of spiders. The creature's inclusion in multiple films highlights its popularity and enduring legacy within the Godzilla series.
