Deathrunners are a species of dromaeosaurid theropods native to Skull Island. They appear in the 2005 Prequel Novel Kong: King of Skull Island and tie in comic Kong of Skull Island. These fierce and intelligent hunters are lead by the giant, female deathrunner, Gaw.
Design
Deathrunners appear to be descended from Dromaeosauridae (feathered, theropod dinosaurs) and were roughly human sized. Their bodies were covered in reddish-orange scales and they had manes of similarly colored hairlike feathers. As Gaw lacked a mane it is possible that it was a factor of sexual dimorphism. Several Deathrunners had either horns or horn-like protrusions on the tips of their noses. They had three toes on their feet and three fingers on their hands
History
Kong: King of Skull Island
Under the leadership of Gaw, the Deathrunners were the dominant species on Skull Island with their leader Gaw being worshiped by the native humans as a god. One day the Deathrunners came into conflict with two adult Kongs protecting their baby. The fight eventually ended with Gaw killing the Mother and Father Kongs, leaving their corpses to be scavenged by Meat-Eaters, causing the orphaned Kong to believe that the Meat-Eaters had killed his parents. Years later the now adult Kong fought against the Deathrunners and ultimately defeated Gaw, replacing her as the god of the natives and ruler of the Skull Island.
