| |
| '''Vertacines''' are a species of avian monsters that first appeared in the [[2024]] [[Legendary Pictures]] [[:Category:Films|film]] ''[[Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire]]''.
| |
| {{TOC}}
| |
| ==Design==
| |
| Vertacines have gray-blue skin with striped yellow highlights. Their heads resemble flamingos, but wider, with skin under their chin that resemble the skin folds of whales. Vertacines also have dorsal fins and pectoral fins that act as secondary wings. Fur spreads across their backs.
| |
| ==Behavior==
| |
| Vertacines are not dangerous to humans unless provoked. Their bio-electricity is an effective deterrent to predators. They are social animals, only shown traveling in flocks.
| |
| ==History==
| |
| *''[[Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire]]'' (2024)
| |
| ===[[Monsterverse]]===
| |
| ===''[[Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire]]''===
| |
| Upon arriving in the [[Hollow Earth]], a [[Monarch]] team aboard a Bio-Mimic [[HEAV]] soon encountered a flock of Vertacines. Titan veterinarian [[Trapper Beasley]] explained that the bio-electric creatures would not harm them unless they were agitated. He deployed the aircraft's camouflage to mimic the patterns on their skin, blending in with the creatures for the first stretch of their journey.
| |
|
| |
|
| When the [[Skar King]], [[Shimo]], and a group of [[Great Ape]]s threatened the [[Iwi]] city in the Hollow Earth, Beasley used the HEAV's camouflage to lure a flock of Vertacines into conflict with them, noting that it was their mating season. Shimo immediately deployed her ice breath, but missed most of the Vertacines, who assailed the larger monsters with electricity. Though they overpowered the simians, Shimo persevered and shot down most of them with a second ice breath. The survivors retreated.

| ==Abilities==
| |
| ===Flight===
| |
| Vertacines can fly.
| |
| ===Bio-electricity===
| |
| When provoked, the Vertacine can produce bio-electricity equivalent to a lightning strike. The [[Skar King]] and [[Great Ape]]s attacked by a flock of the monsters found their electricity extremely painful, and were unable to mount an effective counterattack until Shimo intervened.
| |
| ===Durability===
| |
| [[Shimo]] quickly froze most of the Vertacine flock by strafing her ice breath.

| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Vertacines are quite similar to the [[Psychovulture]]s, as they both are avian and have electrical abilities. Psychovultures, however, will attack humans without provocation.
