Skullcrawlers are giant two-legged reptilian Template:Kaiju that first appeared in the 2017 King Kong Template:FilmC, Kong: Skull Island.
Appearance
Skullcrawlers are large serpentine creatures with only two long forelimbs and no hind limbs. Several aspects of their appearance are noticeably skeletal, particularly their backs and their heads. Their heads closely resemble those of mosasaurs, particularly the mosasaur Tylosaurus. Additionally, the Skullcrawlers have four digits in total on each hand, with the thumb being the smallest digit and the rest of the digits being larger and of the same size.
The Skullcrawlers range in size from 12 to 95 feet tall. The smaller Skullcrawlers are able to fit inside of the eye sockets of the skulls of Kong's species, while the larger ones are almost as tall as Kong himself and possess distinct spikes on their elbows.
Abilities
Skullcrawlers are subterranean-dwelling creatures with such an insatiable appetite that they are considered "hypervores".[1] They possess a prehensile triple-forked tongue that acts similarly in function to a chameleon's, which they can use to grab prey.
