Showa Series


In the Showa era, Kumonga was a giant spider that lived in Sogell Island. It first appeared when it trapped and poisoned Kamacuras. Then it trapped Godzilla's son, Minilla
in webbing and closed in for the kill. However, Godzilla arrived and
defended his son. Kumonga attacked and nearly succeeded in killing Godzilla,
but Minilla helped his father and using their atomic rays, they burned
Kumonga's body, severely injuring it. However, Kumonga was not dead and
the scientists placed Kumonga in Monster Island, where it lived with
many other monsters including Gorosaurus, Varan, and Manda. In 1999, aliens known as Kilaaks,
captured and mind-controlled the monsters of the island. The kaiju were
released in cities throughout the world. But in the end, the humans
broke the mind-control and freed the monsters. The monsters were then
sent to attack and destroy King Ghidorah. Kumonga took part in the fight by trapping King Ghidorah in the thick webbing. After King Ghidorah was defeated, Kumonga and the other monsters returned to Monster Island and lived peacefully to this day.

Millennium Series






Kumonga was featured in the 2004 movie, Godzilla: Final Wars, not that different in appearance, as one of the many mind-controlled monsters of the Xilians. It appears in a desert in Arizona
where it destroys a trailer. Then suddenly, the Xilians teleport the
spider and the other monsters around the world. They tell the humans
that they took the monsters away to save Earth. However, the humans
find that the Xilians were controlling the monsters and the Xilians
release all the monsters again to finish destroying the cities they
were attacking. When Godzilla is freed from the south pole and fights
the kaiju, Kumonga is released in New Guinea
to battle him. At first, Kumonga was able to trap Godzilla in thick
webbing, but Godzilla grabs a webbing that was still attached to
Kumonga and swings it around in circles before letting go of the
webbing. Kumonga soars over the horizon and is not seen again.
