Giant Cave Bear |
Son of Kong | At least one gigantic bear lived on Skull Island, and attacked Kiko after spotting humans in the jungle. | |
Giant One-Horned Rhino |
Kong Reborn | Gigantic rhinoceros with only one horn on their faces could be seen in the jungles. | |
Giant Gaur |
Kong Reborn | Giant Gaur were a species of enormous cattle that lived in herds in the jungles. They served as a food source for large predators, but could be fierce foes if pertrubed. | |
Gorilla gigans |
King Kong, Son of Kong, Kong Reborn |
Gorilla gigans was a species of gigantic gorilla that inhabited a type of sanctuary deep within the jungle. The original King Kong was a member of this stable species, and it is unknown why he lived away from them. | |
Gorilla insulaecranii |
Kong Reborn | Gorilla insulaecranii was a species classification given to the cloned Kong. Due to its being composed of several types of ape DNA including that of Gorilla gigans, Gorilla gorilla, and Pan paniscus, it was given its own specie. In 2009, the sole individual of the species was introduced to Skull Island, and was accepted into the native troop of Gorilla gigans. |

Volucerictis |
King Kong, The World of Kong |
Volucerictis were insectivorous mammals boasting 15 to 18 inch wingspans related to the Terapusmordax. At dusk they emerged from their roosts in caves or hollow trees to hunt with their impressive night vision. Being fiercely territorial, solitary individuals and mated pairs would tolerate no interlopers near their roosts, particularly when they were guarding young. It was not unheard of for individuals to die in airborne disputes. If a larger carnivore chose to prey on Volucerictis they would defiantly fight, scratch and bite their opponents until their last breath. | |
Gaur |
The World of Kong | Gaur were a species of cattle, whose being identical to mainland Asiatic species suggested that they had arrived on Skull Island recently, possibly in the last thousand years. This timeframe suggested that they had been brought to the island by the original human inhabitants. The Guars survived surprisingly well in the jungle. Their horns made them formidable foes to their main predator, the Venatosaurus, and their dark coloration allowed them to blend in to their jungle surroundings. | |
Burglar Monkey |
The World of Kong | Burglar Monkeys were a species of one to two foot long monkeys that were more akin to tarsiers and loruses than true monkeys. They could be found climbing in the jungle's high canopy eating fruit, nuts, flower buds, insects and eggs. Not being especially fast, or in possession of defensive structures, Burglar Monkeys avoided predators by hiding in communal dens during the day and emerging at dusk, when their keen senses allowed them a greater edge. | |
Howler |
The World of Kong | Howlers were flying rodents with four to five foot wingspans that lived in the jungles of Skull Island. With their leathery wings, sharp teeth, eerie calls, and bulbous eyes, the bat-like predators searched the dark for birds, rats, large insects, and lizards. A favorite food of theirs was the Skull Island White Bat, which they tore from their roosts as they slept in the daytime, or hunted at dusk.

Skull Island White Bat |
The World of Kong | Skull Island White Bats were a small species with seven to nine inch wingspans that were not true bats. They were instead an analagous species with rodent ancestry. Despite this, they had large ears and hunted insects and centipedes in the night by sonar. | |
Terapusmordax |
King Kong, The World of Kong |
| |
Skin-bird |
The World of Kong | Skin-birds were another flying rodent with a five to seven foot wingspan. They lived in solitude and were more of gliding rodents than fliers. Not being particularly adept at flying, and thus prevented from catching prey on the wing, Skin-birds hunted lizards and other terrestrial prey. They were one of the only species unaffected by Terapusmordax's scent, and would fly into their roosts to prey on their young, but had to be fast in this practice or they would be overwhelmed by the larger creatures.
