It also has large eyes with yellow sclerae and red irises which presumably blink sideways, in a similar fashion to Hedorah. It has large strong arms, each ending with large claws.

Go! Greenman
"Greenman vs. Garamedon"
Garamedon was mutated from a Minion of Maoh by Tonchiki after his and the minion's attempt to get the blood of children was thwarted by Greenman, making him the first kaiju to fight Greenman. This time, Greenman was still present, as the children were thanking him for stopping the previous chaos. Greenman attacked Garamedon, and seemed to have the upper hand, until Tonchiki commanded Garamedon to use his electric beam on Greenman, revealing his mechanical insides to Maoh. The sidekick then commanded Garamedon to turn gigantic, but Greenman also grew to a giant size and engaged Garamedon once more. This time, Garamedon was unable to last long in the fight, and was quickly detonated by Greenman's Breaster attack.
