Space Amoeba[]

Ganimes, originally a normal stone crab, was controlled and mutated by Yog after Gezora died. Ganimes attacked Sergio Island, but he was destroyed by explosives. Yog however decided to utilize Ganimes again, and remade Ganimes from another giant lobster. He also created Kamoebas, and they attacked the island together. The two were temporarily freed from Yog's control, and they fought soon after. They fought on a volcano and Ganimes threw Kamoebas in, but he pulled Ganimes in with him.
