Marukobukarappa (マルコブカラッパ?) is an unmade Gamera kaiju.

Appearance[]

Marukobukarappa is a very strange-looking kaiju, with its mushroom-shaped, orange body, bumps on its head, its very long, thin arms, bulky legs, its chicken beak, and its two popped-out eyeballs. Its bulbous, bumpy surface on its body makes it partly resemble the Matango, but Daiei have stated that Marukobukarappa is crustacean in origin.

History[]

Aside from the confirmation of its appearance, no information on Marukobukarappa exists.

Trivia[]

  • Its name is based on Calappa capellonis, a species of crustacean with the same name in Japanese.
  • Some literatures and magazines misspelled its name as either Marukobugarappa or Marukomukarappa.
  • Marukobukarappa's design is based off of a Spider Decorator Crab.[1]
  • Although Marukobukarappa never officially appeared in a movie, merchandise does exist for him, notably in the form of multiple action figures and Gashapon figurines. He is one of three scrapped monsters to receive merchandise in this fashion, with the others being Garasharp and Nezura.
  • Futakobukarappa and Marugarappa appeared in Manga Boys Special Edition: Gamera are presumably based on Marukobukarappa.
