Kamacuras

Kamacuras were a species of giant praying mantises that serve as the secondary antagonists of the 1967 kaiju film Son of Godzilla.

==Biography==

The Kamacuras was already the size of a full-grown human being living on Sollgel Island when a radioactive accident during a weather experiment mutated them to even larger proportions.

Three find Minya's egg and crack it open, revealing Minya. They attack him but his cries are answered by Godzilla, who comes and kills two Kamacuras, while the third flees.

The third eventually returns and attacks Saeko, but Minya intervenes and confronts the giant insect. Minya is quickly overpowered and just as the Kamacuras is going to kill him, Godzilla saves him again and defeats the mantis. However, their battle awakens the giant spider Kumonga, who captures Minya and the Kamacuras in webbing. The Kamacuras is then killed by the spider.
