When a United Nations weather control experiment on the Sogell Island accidentally caused a radioactive storm in 1967, the island was doused in a radioactive rainstorm and causing at least three of the island’s already two-meter-long Kamakuras, to mutate into 50-meter monsters. After scarring the United Nations crew for a while, the Kamakuras uncovered and attacked Minilla's egg, breaking it open and then proceeding to try and devour Minilla. Godzilla, hearing the cries of Minilla, arrived on the island and quickly killed two of the Kamakiras with his radioactive heat ray, but one managed to escape. Later, Kumonga, the giant spider, killed the third Kamakiras in battle when he entangled the giant mantis in his webbing and jabbed it with his poison stinger. Thought to have been wiped out by Kumonga on Sogell Island, a Kamakiras later turned up on Ogasawara Island, living in peace with the other monsters.

Showa series

On Sogell Island, mantids the size of adult humand lived. Later, a horrible radioactive accident that occurred due to a weather experiment mutated the insects into even larger proportions. The creatures, now the size of buildings became known as Kamacuras. Three Kamacurae found an egg and cracked it open to find a small, infant reptilian creature. As the huge insects prepared to close in and kill the helpless creature, Godzilla himself arrived on the scene and attacked. Godzilla slew two of the Kamacurae and the last Kamacuras was slain by the gargantuan spider, Kumonga. However, there were remaining creatures that retreated to Monster Island where they have lived ever since.
