Taking its neck in his mouth, he slammed it into the ground, quickly killing it. As Annie declared the bird breakfast, Charlie realized that she had used them as bait.

Skull Island episode 4 In "Breakfast Fit for a Kong", Charlie fell down a long tunnel, finally coming to a stop in a chamber occupied by a long-dead Giant Ant, which partially crumbled at his touch. Mike and Annie eventually made contact with Charlie, but Dog was uninterested in rescuing him. Mike climbed down to retrieve Charlie first, followed by a bloodthirsty Annie after a living Giant Ant dragged its deceased counterpart into the shadows. An argument between her and Mike was cut short by the Giant Ant's approach. Charlie rushed in with an ancient sword he found in the chamber, but it shattered against the insect's exoskeleton. Annie then lay on the ground next to the confused ant and feigned helplessness, causing Dog to descend into the chamber and chase off the ant.
Trivia
  • Series creator Brian Duffield declined to say whether the Giant Ant was a Snarehunter, though he commented that "those were the vibes we were playing with."[8]
Unseen glowing sea monster

Flytrap-Titan.png
Skull Island episode 4 In "Breakfast Fit for a Kong", Cap, Irene, and Sam came upon a field of massive yellow flowers, one of which revealed itself to be a Venus Fly Trap Creature and snatched Irene up with its enormous jaws when her back was turned to it. Sam cut through the flower's stem with a machete, and he and Cap pulled Irene out of its mouth with great effort, breaking several tendrils holding her in place in the process. She and Sam laughed at the irony of a botanist almost being eaten by a flower, then were surprised to see Cap soothing the dying creature.
Trivia
  • It is ambiguous whether all of the yellow flowers are carnivorous or the Venus Fly Trap Creature mimics the appearance of a harmless species.[11]
Dog's father
SI Dog's father infobox.jpg
Skull Island episode 4 In "Breakfast Fit for a Kong", Annie nonchalantly told Mike and Charlie that she and Dog met after their fathers killed each other.

In the second, Annie found his body on the beach after burying her father. Having heard sounds, she approached him warily with a plastic shovel, and discovered Dog, also in mourning.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire As Dr. Ilene Andrews and her team trekked through a forest in the Hollow Earth, they attracted large female mosquitoes. One landed on Trapper's arm and began drinking his blood; though Mikael urged him to kill it, he allowed it to finish drinking and fly away, explaining that "she needs it more than me" to "grow [her] eggs."
Trivia
  • In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - The Official Movie Novelization, Andrews ponders how genetic analysis would be needed to determine if Hollow Earth mosquitoes are true mosquitoes or an example of convergent evolution. She also considers the possibility that mosquitoes originated in Hollow Earth during the Jurassic Period, as molecular genetic studies suggest, and did not reach the surface world until the Cretaceous Period, where they entered the fossil record.[14]

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - The Official Movie Novelization Jayne, a Monarch agent working out of Outpost One in Hollow Earth, watches as a dirraff emerges from the treeline around the outpost to feed on leaves. It is described as larger than an elephant and possessing "a stout, armored body that was pretty similar to that of an armadillo" and "a long snakelike neck" that terminates in a "small, somewhat otter-like head." Although Jayne recalled that it could use its two-hoofed hind limbs to crush enemies, she also notes that the species wasn't hostile to humans.[17]

Unused

Name(s) Image Planned for Description
Rokmutul
Concept Art - Godzilla 2014 - Josh Nizzi Rokmutul.jpg
Godzilla (2014)
Main article: Rokmutul.

Rokmutul is an armored six-legged kaiju with a streamlined crocodilian body, and spikes on its tail most closely resembling those of a Stegosaurus. Based on this concept art found in Godzilla: The Art of Destruction, the beast would have fought Godzilla in San Francisco, with one encounter showing them fighting in the heart of the city and the other atop Alcatraz. Its relation to the other unused monster designed by Josh Nizzi, Pterodactyl, is unknown. Rokmutul would end up being replaced with the female MUTO as one of Godzilla's opponents in the finished film.

Main article: Pterodactyl.

Pterodactyl is a four-winged pterosaur-like kaiju featured in only one piece of concept art found in Godzilla: The Art of Destruction. While it is known that it would have also fought Godzilla alongside Rokmutul in early development, its relation with the other monster was not explained. In the finished film, the male MUTO would replace the monster, who has wings as well.

A strange, dead monster[20] appears in the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con teaser trailer for the film. The creature possesses six visible legs, with a long, apparently segmented body with ridges on its back, somewhat resembling a tardigrade; its feet have four long fingers each. Its identity is unknown, but it was shown solely to confirm that Godzilla would be fighting another kaiju.
