History
Kong: The Animated Series
The Hidden Fears
While a Mindcrawler prepared to dine on a gargantuan fly, Harpy picked it off of its web and squeezed the venom out of its body and put it into a special sphere before dropping the spider back into its web. Its venom was then used to poison the Island Guardian, Kong, who fell under the venom's influence despite his size and power. In his fever dream, Kong saw himself trapped in the web of a Mindcrawler, and unable to escape. The last remaining Islander, and its De Facto Shaman, Lua, then used her connection to Kong to share his dream and to try to talk him out of his coma from the inside. She was initially unable to stir him, but they escaped the Mindcrawler by Lua reminding Kong of his immense power and responsibility.
