Giant snake |
Kong: Skull Island - The Official Movie Novelization | After Kong attacked the helicopters escorting the 1973 Landsat expedition to Skull Island and downed the entire group, ex-Special Air Service tracker James Conrad attempted to get to high ground in order to get a better look at the surrounding topography. While climbing, he touched what looked like a vine, but turned out to be a 60-foot-long snake which tried to eat him. The giant serpent possessed a head as large as that of a full-grown human's, and fangs the length of a man's finger. Though it nearly constricted him to death, Conrad was able to kill it by stabbing it in the head with a knife. | ||
Giant wasp |
During their expedition through the island, Conrad's party encountered a carnivorous plant with several dead animals inside its maw, including a wasp the size of Weaver's hand. | |||
Carnivorous plant |
After Kong downed all of the choppers carrying the members of the Landsat and Monarch expedition to Skull Island, James Conrad's party encountered a carnivorous plant with several dead animals inside, including "a wasp the size of Weaver’s hand." The Carnivorous plant's digestive juices were said to be extremely acidic. | |||
Iwi painting creatures |
The creatures Kong defends Skull Island from are more diverse than just the Skullcrawlers. The Iwi paintings depict "giant reptilian beasts, one with three heads. A crocodile fifty feet long. Snake-like monsters, slinking from holes in the ground and snapping towards the sun. Web-footed creatures, spikes along their backs spearing bloodied human shapes, diving into the ocean surrounding the island." | |||
Margygr |
Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization | Margygr is named after a type of mermaid described in the Norwegian educational text The King's Mirror, written around 1250.
Monarch discovered Margygr dead in the Arctic, killed by another Titan. They transported her corpse to their underwater base, Castle Bravo, for further study.
|
||
Kraken |
Kraken is an octopus-like Titan with "a dense, curving cone of shell" protecting his head. He is named after a sea monster from Norse mythology said to resemble a cephalopod.
Monarch discovered Kraken dormant in the Indian Ocean, wrapped around a long-missing nuclear submarine, and built a containment facility around him. Studying him, they learned that he had multiple brains and hearts, could change his color and pattern at will, and could likely regenerate any part of his body. By 2019, neither he nor the outpost had been given an official name. Kraken was one of the many Titans who awakened after hearing King Ghidorah's call. He tricked Monarch's containment field into thinking he was dead before launching a surprise attack, sinking the outpost. He was later pacified when Madison Russell activated the ORCA at Fenway Park. |
