Octopus-insect
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Octopus-Insect is a giant insect monster that was scrapped from the 1933 film King Kong, but does appear in the film's script and novelization.
Name
Octopus-Insects are so named because they are only ever described as having many octopus legs.
Design
The only description ever given of the Octopus-Insect is that it has many legs like an octopus. Whether this refers to its having many legs or its having tentacles is unknown.
History
King Kong
The Octopus-Insects inhabited the great crevice of Skull Mountain Island, and lived in the numerous caves and crevices that lined it. They were preyed on by the Great Spiders. After an Octopus-Insect attacked by a Great Spider, King Kong and a Triceratops began to shake human sailors off of a log bridging the chasm. One fell into the slimy mud at the bottom, and was swarmed by six Great Spiders that ate him alive. After the rest of them were sent into the pit, the Great Spiders, Octopus-Insects, and Two-Legged Lizards all fought for the new carrion.
