Kong

**Kong** (コング、*Kongu*), **King Kong** or **Titanus Kong**, is a kaiju from Skull Island and later Hollow Earth.

Kong fought Gojira before teaming up to fight Mechagodzilla.

## Appearance

In his kaiju form, Kong takes up the form of a giant ape. In both forms, Kong's skull is rounded, and he has many scars (three of them running diagonally from his left pectoral to the right side of his torso, and several more on the palm of his right hand after attempting to grab the rotating blades of a helicopter). Kong is a muscular man with well-defined abs and biceps. However, he appears as a young man with muscular build in human form, with boar leather wrappings

As years goes by, Kong's height had more than tripled to 337 feet, and he was close to reaching his full potential. Kong's fur is a darker shade of brown, or even black, in certain places. He's also developed facial hair that resembles a beard. Kong's head has grown to be 50 feet broad at this point.

As time passes by, Kong might have a full grown beard.

## Personality

Kong is naturally kind and calm, but when provoked, he becomes ferocious and violent. He guards the island's animals and even befriends some of the invading people in his role as protector. He is very protective of his comrades, risking his life to save Mason Weaver after she falls into the river during the Skull Devil's battle. Kong also displays a high level of intellect by employing melee weapons. Despite having some hearing loss, he masters at sign language yet he can still talk.

Kong is at least somewhat carnivorous, since he is seen devouring animals he has killed, such as the Mire Squid and the Warbat, as well as a huge bunch of fish at one point.

Kong is the last of his species, after his parents and siblings were slain by Skullcrawlers when he was a child. Kong is an empathetic and lonely beast. When Weaver gently touches him, his eyes fill up with tears, and one of the cave paintings portrays him squatting and grieving over the bones of his murdered parents.

Even more noble qualities may be shown in Kong's protection of his young human companion, Jia, and the others from a variety of threats, whether they be fellow Titans or humans. Kong, on the other hand, has a vindictive side, as seen by his battle with Gojira in Hong Kong after the latter devastated his ancestral home. Despite being nearly killed by Gojira, Kong nevertheless rushed to his rival's help when Jia persuaded him that Mechagodzilla was the real threat.

## History

### Skull Island

Kong lived on Skull Island swarmed by other kaijus called "Skullcrawlers", that killed his parents. Though there are humans, a tribe called the "Iwi", living there with Kong, viewing him as a King or a God. In 1973, the military has been bombing his island, ordered by Preston Packard. Kong becomes enraged and assaults the helicopters, swatting them out of the sky and killing many of Packard's soldiers, prompting Packard to pledge vengeance on Kong. Kong reappears near a lake after the battle, terribly wounded from the previous battle. A Mire Squid assaults Kong as he cleanses his wounds and drinks from the water, but Kong kills the creature by stomping on its head, and then eats the gigantic cephalopod.

By night, Packard attempts to kill Kong by ambushing him into lake. Kong then soon makes contact with Weaver and Conrad, who showed no harm towards him. When Weaver makes her first physical contact with him, Kong slowly showed some compassion towards Weaver and Conrad.
