Jiger's tail is similar to that of an Ichneumon wasp.

Ichneumon's way of laying their eggs involves immobilising a caterpillar and using an ovipositor on their tail (basically a long needle-like tube) to deposit their eggs inside the caterpillar fore leaving, with the caterpillar remaining alive. (Image here) After a while, the eggs inside hatch and the larvae eat their way out of the caterpillar - killing it in the process.



So this is basically what Jiger did to Gamera.
