Skull Island Beasts

right|300pxSkull Island Beasts is a cartoon derived from Peter Jackson's King Kong film and associated book The World of Kong: a Natural History of Skull Island.
 
==Synopsis==
The series is similar to the various Tarzan and Jungle Book TV-shows (meaning the main heroes go on adventures all over the island, find rare objects, and battle the man-eating wildlife), only with the island's creatures gaining anthropomorphized versions of themselves in place of the humans (though the normal versions are also used). In addition, the main heroes try to fit in with the outside world and occasionally visit it. It also takes place in a world similar to Talespin.
==Characters==
===Main Characters===
*Jek- A teenage male Venatosaurus. He's a daredevil with an adventurous streak, which often gets him and his friends into trouble, but he does care about others and will not stand to let them be in danger.
*Jyn - A female teenage Megepede dereponecis. She acts as the brains not unlike Velma Dinkley of the Scooby-Doo franchise. She prefers to think before acting, which often clashes with Jek's daredevil-ness and tends to result in them arguing, but despite all that, they remain good friends, and maybe more.
*Qi'ra - A female teenage Terapusmordax. She is the most mature out of her friends, and because of that is the least tolerant of Jek and Jyn's bickering (and is often the first to break them up), although at times she'll justify for one of them, particularly if either has a good reason.
*Donatello - A male teenage Turturcassis (nicknamed Donnie and Don). He is the comic relief and has a tendency to stutter when nervous or excited (much like Red Strange of Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor movie). During his rite-of-passage which composed of slaying a local predator, his parents were killed by a vicious Malevolusaurus, which got killed itself by him (though he doesn't completely blame it).
*Verdona - A female teenage Pinnatono. She is the most fascinated with the outside world and what's in it, and contrary to most natives she has a friendly disposition towards foreign explorers and welcomes them with open arms (or in her case open wings), always eager to see what they bring.
===Supporting Characters===
*Kala - A female adult Deplector. She is the shaman leader of the village Jek and his friends reside in. 
*Amazon - A female adult Piranhadon. She is a tribal warrior who teaches others about the art of combat and what to do if you meet an island predator. She and her partner Steg act as mentors toward Jek and his friends. 
*Steg - A male adult Atercurisaurus. He is Amazon's right-hand man and unlike his species which are known to be picky-eaters, he has a big appetite and is willing to eat anything, except meat which he can't digest. 
*Lucian - An adult male Aciedactylus. He acts as Kala's advisor for the village. He is strict and often throws a fit over Jek and his team's daring antics, yet cannot argue with their results.
*Syal - A female adult Venatosaurus. She is Jek's mother who acts as an architect.
*Valin - A male adult Venatosaurus. He is Jek's father who serves as a fisherman and like his son was an adventurous daredevil.
*Mirax - A female adult Megapede. She is Jyn's mother and acts as a guard for the village's wall.
*Rafe - A male adult Megapede. He is Jyn's father and an animal wrangler.
*Jysella - A female adult Terapusmordax. She is Qi'ra's mother and acts as a farmer (which is ironic as Terapusmordax are reputed to be dirty, but she takes offense to this).
*Seth - A male adult Terapusmordax. He is the father of Qi'ra and like his wife is a farmer (though he doesn't have anything against his species' reputation).
*Bastion - An adult male Megaprimatus. He acts as the medicine man and village-elder.
Other inhabitants include Aerosaurus, Bear-crocs, Ferrucutus, Idolon, Foetodon, Peracerdon, Scutucaris, Udusaurus, Carrion Parrots and Volucerictis. 
===Villains===
*Gantlos - A male teenage Decarnocimex. He was a former resident of the village and former friend of Jek, but was exiled after he began killing every Carver he came across, wild and anthropomorphized, which was all stemmed after one killed his mother during his rite-of-passage, and because of it has become a bigot of sorts. He sometimes tries to play with Donnie's emotions since he too had lost his parents to a predator during his rite, but Donnie always resists him.
*Karnage - A male adult Tartarusaurus. He is a rogue islander who was banished from another village for committing atrocious acts. Now he resides in one of the ancient temples not far from Kong's lair, where he has taken other rogues and exiles under his wing like Gantlos, and became a leader of sorts of his own little cult. Jek and his team are often the first to thwart his schemes, which resulted in them becoming his archenemies. 
*Terrinald - A male adult Vultursaurus. He is Karnage's lieutenant, but is not always competent: when faced with a situation where the odds are against him, he tends to flee like a coward, even when ordered not too. Other times he proves to be a real threat, like when Jek and his friends were trapped in an ancient courtyard with a ravenous Bidensaurus, Terrinald took extra care to make sure they wouldn't escape, but they did anyway. 
*Ron - A teenage male Bifurcatops. He is a bully who resides in the same village as Jek and his friends, but is jealous of him for all the heroism and free will he is granted and strives to outshine him, like when he and his two buddies intentionally allowed a V-Rex enter into the village with the intent to stop it, which didn't work out well.
*Harley - A teenage male Monstrutalpus. He is a dimwit who usually fallows on whatever Ron cooks up, but there are times when he questions Ron's intentions. When he's not helping Ron he's of little threat and even enjoys hanging out with Jek and his friends, though Ron doesn't approve of that. 
*Marik - A teenage male Scorpio-pede. He's a loyal sidekick toward Ron and will do anything for him, literally and no matter how cruel or idiotic it is. Likewise he shares Ron's envy of Jek and co. He also has a crush on Jyn, but she wants nothing to do with him and claims Jek is more tolerable than Marik is, which causes Marik to treat Jek like a rival.
Other villains include non-anthro local predators: these include Scimitodon, Skull Island Snappers, Zeropteryx, Lycaesaurus, Stickalithus, Dirusuchus, Brutornis, Inox, Hydruscimex and Arsarticaedes.
