Description: Freed from a tomb of ice by an atomic bomb, Gamera the Super Turtle immediately headed to Japan to start his righteous rampage. He consumes fire (and coal, magma, oil, and uranium), so he spits fireballs to set things on fire and then eat them. He was unharmed by military weapons, so he was launched into space on a rocket, only to come back later since he can fly. Humans are so silly!

Description: Kamoebas are not generally aggressive to humans, and seem content to live their lives out in the sea. Although one did attack Japan in 1970, it was under the control of a Space Amoeba. They are considerably tough creatures who could cause significant damage if inspired to do so, as was seen when the Giant Turtle battled Ganimes to a draw.
