History
King Kong (2005)
After escaping from Kong, Ann Darrow ran through the jungles of Skull Island until she came upon a Foetodon feeding on the corpse of another creature. Upon seeing Ann, the Foetodon chased after her, and was joined by another Foetodon. One Foetodon chased Ann inside a hollow log, but was pulled away and eaten by a Vastatosaurus rex. The other Foetodon then ran away as the V-Rex turned its attention toward Ann.
Trivia
- Foetoedon was created when Peter Jackson requested a new dinosaur be made by Weta Workshop. Weta used a cast of a Komodo dragon as a reference for the creature. Jackson suggested then suggested that the lizard have growths on its face, so in response Weta added diseased boils to the creature and made its mouth filthier.[1]
- In production, the Foetodon was referred to by Weta Workshop as the "wetasaur" in reference to the digital effects company.[2]
