Mask of Darkness Carantula (
History[]
Carantula was created sometime before the events of the series when Yodonheim was created and eventually attacked the Crystaria Kingdom with help from defector Galza and both Projector Gomoryu and Faucet Hildon. 
TV STORY-Mashin Sentai Kiramager: Episode ZERO
With the Crystarians gone, the Yodonheim Empire is seemingly unstoppable so Carantula deploys an army of Bechats to conquer Tokyo, Japan so that the Empire could engulf it in darkness for Emperor Yodon to live on. However, a new Super Sentai team named the Kiramagers defeat the Bechats so Carantula deploys Faucet Hildon to draw a magic circle around the city to destroy it. However, the Kiramagers and thier Mashins are easily able to destroy it. TV STORY-Episode 1: The Mashin Are Born!
Sena was able to kill Rugby Jamen with his own rugby bomb and he had not gathered Dark Energy to send a Jamen Beast. Forutunately for Carantula, he is able to use Rugby Jamen's insurance contract to use his Jamen to empower the dark gate instead. Using a Ligany Type Jamen Beast as the base, Carantula creates Rugger Ligany and sends it to Earth to steal human resolve. However, Land Mage was easily able to slay the beast. TV STORY-Episode 2: Leader Certification
Whilst Vise Jamen causes chaos in Tokyo, Carantula discovers that he has gathered enough dark energy to unleash a Jamen Beast. He chooses a Shellga type to create Vise Shellga and sent it through the Dark Portal to aid its Jamenshi counterpart in killing the Kiramagers. However, both were easily killed. TV STORY-Episode 3: You Fool! I Don't Need Your Help
After Galza revealed Smog Jouki to the Kiramagers, Emperor Yodon becomes worried that this new plan to get them out of the way would fail miserably. To appease his master, Carantula sends Paleolith Basra to Earth to soften then up to make it easier for Galza to kill them. This ultimately fails when the Jamen Beast accidentally attacks Galza and is killed for its incompetence. TV STORY-Episode 4: Princess of the Lost World
Although Juru destroys Joystick Jamen with the Kiramai Buster's Shining Kiramai Attack, the dark energy that he gathered is enough for Carantula to unleash a new Jamen Beast. He chooses a Ligany type to create Catcher Ligany and sends it to Earth to steal human resolve. However, Kiramaizin Lifton is able to swiftly obliterate it. TV STORY-Episode 5: Exceeded by Shovellow!
Carantula first sends the head of Cloud Hildon into Tokyo to hide and await empowerment and then sends the Digital Camera Jamen to Earth. His mission is to trap people in the dimension within his head and drain them of their energy which would then allow his equivalent Jamen Beast to grow to its full size and easily crush the Kiramagers. This fails when Land Mage Lifton & Rolland obliterates it and Cloud Hildon even manages to crush Digital Camera Jamen to death by accident too. TV STORY-Episode 6: Suddenly Turning 5 Years Old
Although the Freezer Jamen is killed by Galza for being weak and pathetic, the dark energy that he and Oven Jamen gather is enough for Carantula to unleash a Jamen Beast. Despite being displeased at Galza's brutal killing of the Jamenshi, he chooses a Dagames Type to create Cold Hot Dagames and sends it to Earth to try and salvage the scheme. Although it manages to defeat the Kiramagers, it is forced to retreat when it runs out of energy. TV STORY-Episode 7: Training For You
After Juru kills Oven Jamen with his Kiramai Buster's Shining Kiramai Attack, Carantula sends the newly re-powered Hot Cold Dagames to Earth to get revenge but the new King Express easily destroys it. TV STORY-Episode 8: Express Lightning
Although the Kiramagers are able to kill the Hyakunin Isshu Jamen with the Kiramai Rush Stream, the dark energy that he gathered is enough for Carantula to unleash a Jamen Beast. He chooses a Basra type to create Heian-kyō Basra and sends it to Earth to steal human resolve. However, King Express makes short work of it. TV STORY-Episode 9: This Is My Youthful Path of Karuta
As the Music Jamen prepares for a concert to unleash a massive amount of dark energy, Carantula creates Stage Shellga and sends it to Earth where it poses as his stage. Even after the Jamenshi's death, at which point it reveals itself, Kiramaizin makes quick work of it after Smog Jouki accidentally blasts the Jamen Beast. TV STORY-Episode 10: The Girl Who Chases After Shiguru
Although disappointed with Galza for killing the Reset Button Jamen for desertion, Carantula realizes that the treacherous Jamen gathered enough dark energy to unleash a Jamen Beast. He chooses a Ligany Type to create Hassha Button Ligany and sends it to Earth to try and salvage the disastrous scheme. The Kiramagers are surprised by a Jamen Beast arriving so soon but they swiftly summon their Mashin and form Kiramaizin. However, Carantula points out that it can end the battle immediately by launching its missiles and so orders the Hassha Button Ligany to hit its launch button. However, Tametomo summoned Mashin Express and combine it with Kiramaizin to form Kiramaizin Express who instantly obliterated Hassha Ligany with its Kiramaizin Express Break before it even had a chance to press its button to fire its missiles. Enraged, all Carantula can do is slam and stamp around in frustration. TV STORY-Episode 11: Time is Cycling
Carantula sends Haejigoku Shellga underneath Tokyo to rip the city apart since the Kiramagers are unable to reach it underground and thus be helpless to stop it. Unfortunately for Carantula, this prediction proves to be untrue since new Kiramager Takamichi Crystaria (Kiramai Silver) uses the new Mashin Drijan to force it to ground level where Land Mage obliterates it. TV STORY-Episode 13: Great Underground War
Diesel Basra is created by Carantula from a Basra Type and sent to Earth alongside Galza and teamed up with the Steam Locomotive Jamen who Galza has given Smog Jouki which he changed into dinosaur mode. Unfortunately for Yodonheim, Diesel Basra accidentally kills Steam Locomotive Jamen by treading on him after the Jamenshi is ejected from King Express and is then killed by King Express and Kiramaizin. TV STORY-Episode 14: Lonely Ace
Once the Marshmallow Jamen had been frozen solid, Carantula sends the Hassha Ligany to attack the Kiramagers and destroy Tokyo with its missiles. This Jamen Beast is an improved version of Hassha Button Ligany since. whereas that Ligany Beast had been unable to press its button on time to fire its missiles before the Kiramagers took him down, this new version can fire at will with no need for a button which leads to it attacking much more quickly. Even so, Kiramaizin Magellan is easily able to destroy it. TV STORY-Episode 16: Marshmallow Royale
As part of a new scheme to create infinite dark energy, Carantula had Yodonna split him into five with one of him heading to Earth turn
people resentful with his rapping skills. Though he easily affects five of the Kiramagers, Juru doesn't hear it and is able to undo the effects in a rap battle against the Carantula clone. Unfortunately, the Carantula clone has managed to gain enough dark energy to summon a Jamen Beast and thus calls forth Turntable Gomoryu. Taking personal command of it, the Carantula clone tries to bury the Kiramagers before sonic blasting them all away. When he then tries to rip them apart with Turntable Gomoryu's sound-waves directly however, Mashin Fire defends them long enough that Mashin Jetter and Mashin Helico are able to blast it back. With ALL of the Mashin having arrived, the Kiramagers perform a roll call including thier Mashin before forming Kiramaizin, GigantDriller, King Express Zabyun, and Grateful Phoenix. However, Turntable Gomoryu launches its head at King Express Zabyun and GigantDriller but Mashin Duston and Mashin Lifton fuse with Kiramaizin to form Kiramaizin Duston which sucks up Turntable Gomoryu's head and allows them to stab it. Summoning Mashins Rolland and Mashin Magellan to form Kiramaizin Rolland, they bash and blast the Jamen Beast in the face only for it to unleash more sonic blasts. Fortunately, Mashin Carry arrives and Kiramaizin Carry is able to hold off the waves long enough for Grateful Phoenix to catch the blast when Kiramaizin directs the sonic blast at it and then to King Express Zabyun and then to GigantDriller which launches it back at the Jamen Beast via its Gigant Knuckle. With the Carantula clone momentarily knocked off of his pedestal, Tametomo summons the Kiraful Go Arrow and enlarges it. The Carantula clone responds by has Turntable Gomoryu split into three components and fire all of thier sonic blasts at once but the Grateful Go-Arrow overwhelms the blasts and obliterates the Jamen Beasts with Carantula clone going down with them. The remaining fourths of Carantula merge back, but the absence of the destroyed clone would effect his personality overtime. TV STORY-Episode 36: RAP
Months after the death of Emperor Yodon, the Dark Empire Yodonheim still exists but Carantula (now de-facto emperor) and the last few Bechats have turned good and swear to never invade Earth again. TV STORY-Episode FINAL: You Guys Shined
Personality[]
He is shown to hate beautiful things, and viewed them as annoying, as said in the trailer. He is also seen being sickened by the sight of many beautiful things on Earth, as he almost wanted to puke when he sees in the Yodonheim's globe that Earth has so many beautiful things. He also enjoys the entertainment the Kiramagers provide, but finds Galza more than intimidating, especially since he effortlessly defeated Paleolith Basra. Carantula employs tactics based on many human lifestyles and activities, and although he despises the planet's natural beauty, he made a new favorite food out of humanity's marshmallow snacks.
After losing one fifth of himself, Carantula's personality gradually takes a turn. He has started appreciating the diverse richness of Earth, which allowed him to create various unique and innovative Jamenshi. Carantula gets to embrace his identity as an prideful artist over the role of an invasion commander, especially after witnessing the innocence and joyfulness of Juru as a fellow artist, to the point of committing treason against the empire.
With influence from Juru, he eventually reforms fully and has become a benevolent ruler of the reformed Yodonheim.
