Skar King (スカーキング Sukā Kingu) is a simian Titan[3][1] who will appear as one of the antagonists in the upcoming 2024 Legendary Pictures film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, along with Shimo.[8]
Name
The Skar King's name was revealed through a post by the official Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Instagram account on November 29, 2023.[9]
Development
Skar King was inspired by the villainous railroad conductor Shack from the 1973 film Emperor of the North Pole.[1]
Design
Skar King's appearance somewhat resembles Kong's, but with proportions similar to a chimpanzee and red fur similar to that of an orangutan. He has a lanky build, with long arms and legs. Reddish fur covers the majority of his body except for his face and scalp. He possesses light blue eyes which glow, red war paint on his face, and a scar above his right eye. He wears the Whipslash, resembling an enormous vertebrae column, like a sash.

Skar King can use the crystal at the end of the Whipslash to command Shimo by pointing it towards his enemies, making her attack them.
Agility
Skar King is incredibly agile, able to leap great distances, and even dodge a swing of Kong's axe and follow up with an immediate counterattack in the same move. He was also able to perform a somersault to dodge around Kong and reposition himself.
Intelligence
Much like Kong, Skar King is intelligent enough to wield weapons, notably his Whiplash, which he uses very effectively in combat.
