Description Well, here's some more fan art of kaiju for you, however its not going to just one single kaiju, but a trio of kaiju all from one movie, that being Gezora, Kamoebas and Ganimes from Space Amoeba.

Space Amoeba was a 1970 Toho kaiju film directed by Ishiro Honda and produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka, the film revolves around the titular Space Amoeba, a mysterious alien life form that hijacks a space probe and leads it to crash land on Earth, specifically near an island within the Pacific Ocean, with the intent to take over the planet, it attempts to do so by taking over some of the local sea life as hosts, causing them to mutate them into giant monsters. All while a photographer named Kudo and his group of friends are caught in the mix since they happened to be visiting the island (that being Selgio Island) that's harboring the malevolent alien and its kaiju minions, now its up to them to put an end to the amoeba's nefarious plans before its too late.

Now, this film is notable for several reasons, one of them being the film to introduce the titular fan favorite kaiju trio, the others being that Space Amoeba would be the last non Godzilla kaiju movie to be directed by Ishiro Honda, the first Toho kaiju film to come out after the passing of Eiji Tsuburaya, and the last time Haruo Nakajima would perform a non Godzilla role in a kaiju film (performing as both Gezora and Ganimes respectively) until Godzilla vs Gigan (1972) where he would play Godzilla for the last time before retiring from suit acting entirely. As for the kaiju trio, they would live on in other forms of media, from video games, comics, various picture books and even some later Godzilla films, with Kamoebas appearing in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS (as a corpse) and Gezora appearing as stock footage in Godzilla Final Wars as well as making a full comeback in the Godziban series. What else will the future hold for the Yog trio? Who knows, hopefully one day they can finally be standing side by side with Godzilla in a future theatrical film.

Hope you enjoy my drawings, have a good one!
