Piranhadon is a fictional species of carnivorous fishes that appears in the extended version of the 2005 film, King Kong.
Appearence
Female Piranhadon can be up to 50 feet long, with a relatively narrow, eel-like body. Males rarely grow to be longer than 20 feet in length. Coloration looks to be greenish-black above and white below. A dorsal fin runs the length of the Piranhadon's back, while two huge pectoral fins serve to steer its bulk. Two barbels depend from the fish's lower jaw.[1]
Ecology
An enormous fish, as big (or bigger) than some whales, Piranhadon is a river-dwelling hunter that specializes in taking its prey from the riverbanks when they come down to drink. Thus, they tend to remain in the open waterways, where they have sufficient room to move and the water is clean enough to breathe. Male Piranhadon are much smaller than the females and must compete to prove their worth as mates. Young are born live in groups of around a dozen. Already five feet long at birth, a juvenile Piranhadon is already a dangerous aquatic predator, and will devour water birds, fish, amphibians, small dinosaurs, and just about anything else it can catch.
History
A Piranhadon swims towards one of the rafts, it attacked it and broke it, so the people from it fell in the water. The Piranhadon ate one crew member while he was trying to escape. The Piranhadon saw Jack Driscoll in the water, it swims towards him, opens its jaws as it is prepared to eat him, but then its mouth got stuck between 2 trees. Jack Driscoll got his chance to escape. The Piranhadon then ate another crew member. Carl Denham and other people on the raft grabbed their guns and started shooting in the water as they saw the Piranhadon swimming towards them. The Piranhadon flipped the second raft, and the people from it fell in the water. The crew went to the closest land they could find. A crew member was going to the land, but the Piranhadon ate him, too.
Abilities
An ambush predator, Piranhadon tends to lie in wait near the river banks, using its sensitive barbels to detect the approach of potential prey, as its eyes are poor and can only see differences between light and dark. A surge of its enormous body, and it will lunge out of the water, taking its prey in its jaws, either killing it with a massive bite or dragging it down below the surface to drown. [2]

- King Kong (2005)
Trivia
- The Piranhadon was supposed to appear in King Kong as part of the swamp-crossing sequence. That scene was cut, but can be found on the extended version of the DVD. In the scene, it attacks the explorers while they try to cross the swamp on a log raft. The Piranhadon eats three members of the crew and nearly eats Jack Driscoll while Carl Denham films it.

Carnictis is a fictional species of carnivorous worm-like creatures that appears in the 2005 film, King Kong.
Ecology
Carnictis is apparently evolved from a form of intestinal parasite. It is theorized that at some point in the distant past a large predator fell into an abyssal chasm and died. The parasites living within its gut spilled out of the corpse and into the rich organic soup found at the bottom of many of the chasms. Fed by geothermal hot-springs, the sludge was the perfect environment for the parasites, who found the pickings rich as they fed on the carcasses of animals that fell into the crevices. As time went by the worms grew to great size, until they became the "vile meat-weasel" of modern Skull Island. However, their rather unique environment limits their movements, a Carnictis who escapes an abyssal chasm and swims into the cooler rivers of Skull Island will soon die, as the lower temperature water literally sucks the life from the giant worm.
History
TBA
Abilities
A Carnictis attacks by biting with its tooth-filled maw, latching on to a potential prey items and then literally chewing it up alive. Once attached to a victim, a Carnictis can only be forced to let go by either killing it, or driving it away with open flame or the like. As they are totally blind (and deaf), Carnictis hunts purely by vibration, so anyone who stands perfectly still (no mean feat when ten feet or more of mobile intestine is writhing about) may escape their notice.

Trivia
- All Carnictis Sordicus are totally blind and deaf.[1]
