## Abilities

### Amphibious nature

*Kong: Skull Island - The Official Movie Novelization* reveals that Skullcrawlers have hidden gills on their neck, allowing them to breathe on land and underwater indefinitely.

### Burrowing

Being subterranean, Skullcrawlers are capable of using their limbs to burrow deep into the earth.

### Durability and stamina

Skullcrawlers are very durable, as they can withstand bullets from rifles and the searing heat of a flamethrower. The largest of the Skullcrawlers was only dazed when Kong slammed his head with a boulder or smashed his face with a tree branch, while the Skullcrawler that ate Chapman and Randa could withstand fire from an M2HB heavy machine gun, which was chambered in .50 BMG. The Skull Devil could withstand continuous sprays of fire from a pair of M3 Brownings(Also chambered in .50 BMG). They have incredible stamina, being able to stay in a full-fledged fight for several minutes even whilst being incredibly injured.

### Hunting

Skullcrawlers are both solitary and pack hunters. Juveniles can hunt for themselves and can take down creatures like the Sker Buffalo on their own, and they can cooperate to take down more powerful creatures such as Kong.

### Intelligence

Skullcrawlers are very intelligent, as shown when the younger Skullcrawlers tried ambushing Kong, and when the Skull Devil realized Cole was trying to trick her into eating him and instead of eating him, she batted him away with her tail.

### Olfactory system

Much like snakes, the Skullcrawlers' olfactory system allows them to sense hot-blooded lifeforms from miles away.

### Prehensile tail and tongue

Skullcrawlers have prehensile tongues that they use to grab and quickly devour small prey, or for gripping large prey in combat.

The tail of the Skullcrawler is heavily muscled and extremely powerful, which is evidenced when the largest Skullcrawler lifted and flung Kong across the marsh with his tail. As stated before, the tail is also for wrapping around large prey, possibly to latch onto them for balance or to constrict them. Adult Skullcrawlers such as Skull Devil have a sharp ivory-colored barb the size of Marlow's boat at the end of their tails, and they use this barb for slashing and lethal stabbing. Skull Devil killed Kong's Father with this barb, stabbing it into the side of his skull and leaving a large hole.

### Speed and agility

Skullcrawlers can run very quickly despite having only two legs, and their speed matches or surpasses that of an adult human. They can also make quick turns as well. However they can also swim or walk underwater.

### Strength and combat

As the apex predators of Skull Island, Skullcrawlers are fearsome and deadly in battle, using their jaws full of razor-sharp teeth as their primary weapons. They can hold their own against opponents like Kong, able to withstand the blows and pummeling of the ape. Their serpent-like tails are used for swatting, wrapping around, or throwing an opponent during combat. Skullcrawlers can also use their clawed feet as formidable weapons as well.

### Voice mimicry

The novelization of *Kong: Skull Island* states that Skullcrawlers can mimic human voices to lure their prey.

## Weaknesses

### Heightened metabolism

Skullcrawlers possess accelerated metabolism, which causes them to live in constant starvation. This is shown when the largest Skullcrawler ravenously tried to eat Weaver and refused to let go of Kong's arm. Kong then turned her insatiable appetite against her, tearing out her tongue and other attached organs. In the *Godzilla vs. Kong - The Official Movie Novelization*, Madison Russell notes that Skullcrawler hatchlings are "born starving", indicating that this trait is present from birth. Ren Serizawa later remarks that it is "impossible" for Skullcrawlers to eat enough to sate their starvation.

### Limb structure

A Skullcrawler's arms were unable to straighten out, so when Mechagodzilla grabbed Number 10 and held him by the arms, the mecha dislocated both of Number 10's elbows and shoulders.

### Locomotion

Having only two limbs to walk on, their stance is rather unstable and can easily be toppled.

### Proton scream

In *Godzilla vs. Kong*, an adult Skullcrawler is sliced completely apart by Mechagodzilla's energy beam.

### Tongue

It is shown that Kong can easily eviscerate Skullcrawlers by yanking out their tongues, which are connected to their internal organs.

### Vulnerable eyes

The eyes of a Skullcrawler are one of its only weak points, as seen when Weaver destroys one of the larger Skullcrawler's eyes with a flare gun. The large eye-like sockets on the front of their faces likely serve as distractions from their real eyes which are set further back. They may also serve a function as heat-seeking pits.
