History[]
General Monster was originally a Nazi officer during World War II. He was stationed at the Auschwitz concentration camp where he served under Colonel Zol. He later joined Shocker after it was founded. Though he was killed, his body was preserved and years later he was revived by Neo-Shocker and recruited into them as a general, in the process undergoing a modification that allows him to transform into the gecko cyborg Yamorjin.
Due to a recent failure, he was presented with the red eye, which signals that if he fails for a final time he will be terminated. He later attempted to fight Skyrider himself, assuming his Yamarojin kaijin form. He was defeated by Skyrider's Sky Kick, but managed to survive and attempted to suicide bomb Skyrider. However, before he could kill Skyrider, he was executed by Admiral Majin.
Yamorijin was later revived as part of the Second Generation Cyborg Corps but was destroyed by the 7 Kamen Riders.
He was also resurrected as part of the Kaijin Second Generation Corps, donning a yellow scarf. He was later destroyed by the 7 Riders.
