Biography
The body of a Kamoebas was found washed up on shore on the Pacific Coast in 2004. As soon as it was discovered, members of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force cordoned off the area and began inspecting the remains. It was the first of its kind sighted in that area in over seventeen years. A member of the military concluded that the creature must have been wounded at sea by some form of giant predator. He noted the deep lacerations across the left side of the Kamoebas' neck. It was this officer's belief that the only thing that could have killed it was Godzilla.
