Description: Gezora hasn't made an appearance since he attacked Selga Island (Japan) under the influence of the Space Amoeba. Surly and hungry for humans, his return is not widely anticipated. This humongous Cuttlefish was at his strongest in the water, but his tentacles were more than powerful enough to support his fantastic bulk on land.
