The alien force within the squid monster caused him to grow to gigantic size and then sent Gezora to attack the natives of the island where Yog’s spacecraft crashed. The giant squid terrorized the island for some time, but was finally driven away when the islanders and Japanese who came there fought back against Gezora with the monster’s weakness, fire. Severely injured by the attack, Gezora retreated into the ocean and sank beneath the waves. The Yog entity, realizing this body was dying, abandoned Gezora before seeking out a new host body. This didn’t take long, for soon Yog found a lobster and mutated it into the monster Ganime, directing the giant lobster back to Selga Island to destroy the humans that had defeated him, but Ganime was quickly destroyed when it was lured into a pit lined with explosives. However, once again the Yog entity was not harmed and it split to possess three creatures, a Japanese industrial spy on the island, a tortoise, and another lobster. The lobster transformed into another Ganime while the tortoise turned into Kameba, both monster being directed to attack the islanders once again. All looked lost for the islanders for a while, but the industrial spy was actually able to throw off the possession of Yog and released the island's bats, their high-pitched sonic squeaks hurting Yog and forcing Kameba and Ganime back. The bats sonic squeaks also interrupted Yog’s control over the monsters and Ganime and Kameba attacked one another. The battle soon moved to the island's volcano, where Ganime was able to throw Kameba in, but not before the giant tortoise succeeded in biting into Ganime, dragging him into the volcano as well. The heat of the molten lava killing both monsters and the Yog entity as well, ending its reign of terror forever.
