Oodako is a giant octopus kaiju that debuted in King Kong vs. Godzilla and returned in War of the Gargantuas. Oodako is also known as the "Daidako" (Giant Octopus) and "The Giant Devilfish". Oodako also appeared in the alternate ending for the movie Frankenstein Conquers the World.
In King Kong vs. Godzilla, Oodako crawls ashore on Farou Island and attacks a village hut in an attempt to get the special soma berry juice that the natives store there. The natives, along with members of a pharmaceutical company, attempt to defeat Oodako with spears and shotguns, but to no avail. King Kong then appears behind a giant wooden fence, crushing it with his bare hands and throwing the crumbled pieces at Oodako. Kong and Oodako grapple until Oodako flees and Kong gains the victory.
In the alternate ending for Frankenstein Conquers the World, after Frankenstein's monster defeats Baragon, Oodako comes from the sea and fights him. Frankenstein's monster battles fiercely, but cannot compete with Oodako's numerous and powerful tentacles. Oodako drags Frankenstein's monster into the water, presumably to his death.
In War of the Gargantuas, Oodako attacks a fishing boat, but is defeated by the Green Gargantua, known as Gaira.
