==Character History==
===Kamen Rider===
After the destruction of Mosquiras, stopping Jigoku Taishi's plans in the Katsuura Sea, Siomaneking was placed in charge of the operations there in order to defeat the Riders in a future encounter due to its superior combat power. 
Siomaneking kidnaps Professor Sakai, Japan's great oceanographer, whose skills Jigoku Taishi intended to use to build a giant underwater city, monopolizing the oceanic resources of the region. Due to Sakai's refusal to work for Shocker, Siomaneking proceeds to kidnap his wife, Keiko, and son, Masao, in order to threaten him into cooperating, but during that operation, he comes into battle against Kazuya Taki and Takeshi Hongo. Rider 1 avoids his flammable spit and forces Siomaneking to retreat. However, soon afterward, they successfully manage to kidnap Sakai's family and Taki. Rider 1 sees them escaping in a boat, and quickly goes after them in a sea pursuit.
While Hongo confronts Siomaneking, Jigoku Taishi, and various Shocker Combatmen, Hayato Ichimonji saves the hostages, joining the battle afterward. Siomaneking's pincer claw manages to strangle Rider 2, but he's soon rescued by Rider 1. Afterward, Rider 2 turns around the battle, and he is heavily wounded by Rider 1's and Rider 2's Rider Nage and Rider Double Kick. Although he is not quite destroyed by those attacks, Siomaneking's flammable foam goes out of control, covering its body in it that soon becomes a large fireball. 
===Kamen Rider V3===
Siomaneking was revived as part of the to assist Wanage Kuwagata. Siomaneking's physical power isn't even close to V3's strength in their initial matchup. However, he eventually sacrifices himself to capture V3 who had invaded a Destron base.
===Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker===
Dai-Shocker built multiple Siomanekings, which were deployed together in the final battle in the World of Decade, where Dai-Shocker's main army was wiped out by a gathering of 25 Kamen Riders. The Siomanekings were defeated in battle by Kamen Riders Black RX, Hibiki, and Kabuto, and one of them is destroyed while attempting to protect Ika Devil. 
===OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders===
In the 1971 timeline, Siomaneking returns as a revived monster. When the heroes and Shocker went after a Cell Medal, Nokko tries to save Naoki and Mitsuru, but Siomaneking appears and cuts Naoki's hand, telling them to give him the medal. Beaded Lizard Man joins him, but soon they face Riders 1 and 2. Rider 2 destroys Siomaneking with a Rider Kick. However, they're eventually unable to recover the medal. Due to the change in history caused by Ankh leaving an O Medal behind in 1971, Shocker achieved its goal of world dominion with the Shocker Greeed which defeated the Double Riders. A once again revived Siomaneking was among the many monsters who appear under Shocker's command in the future. During Kamen Rider OOO's failed execution, Siomaneking was slashed by Eiji and swarmed by civilians, who beat him up. 
===Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai===
Siomaneking was one of the soldiers of the Badan Empire, the Kingdom of the Dead. He is part of Badan's initial incursion to the surface but does not manage to do much against Kamen Rider Gaim. He is later seen in Badan's underground city alongside the other forces. Siomaneking resurfaces again during the final clash between Badan and the Riders, taking on Kamen Rider Agito. Near the ending of the battle, Siomaneking appears alongside some Badan Combatroids and Shocker Combatmen against Rider 1 when he is shot by Right from the ToQgers, disappearing from the battle afterward.
===Super Hero Taisen GP===
Through an alteration to history rewritten by Shocker's History Modifying Machine, Siomaneking is among the many monsters that serve the evil organization that rules the world in this alternate timeline created by Kamen Rider 3's assassination of the Double Riders in 1973. During the final battle against the Kamen Riders, Siomaneking is part of the group that kills Kamen Rider Mach, but he's soon destroyed by OOO's Tatoba Kick.
