Kong: Skull Island - Creature Codex is a 2025 Monsterverse bestiary book published by Evil Genius Games. A supplement to Evil Genius's tabletop roleplaying game Everyday Heroes, it gives both canonical information and game-compatible stat blocks for 54 superspecies and Titans from Skull Island, allowing for any of them to be used in homebrew stories. The book was crowdfunded through Kickstarter in 2023 as part of "The Legendary Bundle," alongside a Pacific Rim counterpart named Pacific Rim: Jaeger Codex and the campaign books Kong: Skull Island - Isle of the Damned and Pacific Rim: Dominion of Iron. A PDF edition was sent to backers on February 6, with a physical edition to follow. Both will also be available to purchase through commercial retailers.

Description

“

WHAT'S INSIDE The world of Kong: Skull Island is unique in the way that it supports creatures beyond the imagination and lifeforms that bend the laws of biology, and creates encounters that Everyday Heroes will never expect—or forget. This Cinematic Supplement brings over fifty unique creatures to Skull Island and your tabletop, and reveals various florafauna and superspecies that can now inhabit untold roleplaying adventures and Skull Island stories! FEATURED CONTENT Rules for adding Cinematic Actions, Absolute Armor, and Titanic scale to Skull Island creatures Fifty-Two distinct Kong: Skull Island creatures for your Everyday Heroes games Four Skull Island Titans ready to shake the ground of your adventures Full color illustrations that bring the creatures to life Cryptozoological classification and journaling on every creature entry! THE COOL FACTOR From the lure of the seemingly harmless Hedgemaizes in the fields and the unseen threat of the Killral Colony in the coastal shallows to the sky-darkening Crow of Thorns and Kong himself, the Creature Codex has something to populate the wilds of every corner of your Kong: Skull Island adventure. With over fifty creatures covering every biome environment that Skull Island offers, Game Masters have a veritable menagerie of unique and imaginative lifeforms to choose from, adding exciting new encounters to their adventures!
