Sker buffalo

Like hippopotamuses when the giant futuristic buffaloes float in the marshlands of Skull Island. Most specifically, these are called "semi-aquatic futuristic mammals of Skull Island". The Sker Buffalo superficially resembles an abnormally large water buffalo, but has some distinct traits. It possesses incredibly large horns, which appear to fork into at least three branches. The Sker Buffalo has what appears to be algae covering a large portion of its body, most likely due to its habit of spending long amounts of time underwater. Its back is shaped like coral so as to allow it to blend in perfectly with its surroundings while underwater

* **Hippopotamus from the Future:** Sker Buffaloes appear to be docile creatures, and never threaten the human characters in any way, unlike most of the other creatures on Skull Island. Even Kong appears to get along well with these creatures, as he is seen rescuing one that is pinned underneath a fallen helicopter, and appears visibly enraged upon seeing one killed by a Skullcrawler.
* **Unleashed:** According to the Monarch superspecies report about the Sker Buffalo, it shares common ancestry with the Asian water buffalo. The Sker Buffalo has evolved many unusual traits, including the ability to remain submerged completely underwater for long periods of time. Its most unique adaptation is its florafaunal biology: the Sker Buffalo has incorporated plant life into its anatomy, and two chambers of its heart actually pump chlorophyll into the foliage growing from its back.

## Welcome to Futuristic Park

It was referenced in the dinosaur movie, Jurassic Park. When dinosaurs ruled the Earth from the past as well as hadrosaurs and brachiosaurs lived in the lake of Jurassic Park (almost 100 million years ago during the early Cretaceous).

While wandering through the wilderness of Skull Island, some of the survivors of the Monarch expedition to the island witnessed a Sker Buffalo emerging from a lake. The creature approached the group, but James Conrad insisted they remain calm and not open fire on the animal. The Sker Buffalo stared at the humans for a few moments before turning around and walking away. Meanwhile, Kong came upon the corpse of a Sker Buffalo, which had just recently been killed by a Skullcrawler, which Kong promptly fought and killed along with another Skullcrawler that attacked him from behind.

After hearing a strange noise, Mason Weaver wandered out of the Iwi village and found a Sker Buffalo pinned underneath a fallen helicopter. She tried to free the Buffalo from the wreckage, but could not lift the wreckage. Suddenly, the entire helicopter was pulled off the Buffalo, and Weaver stared up in shock to see Kong had rescued the smaller creature.

* **Largest Mammals of the Future:** The trade paperback version of *Skull Island: The Birth of Kong* includes a Sker Buffalo profile that is absent from the individual issues. While nearly identical to the profile used in the viral marketing for *Kong: Skull Island*, this version has a note added by Monarch researchers which point out that the creatures' horns are as wide as the wingspan of a Grumman OV-1 Mohawk, making them a potentially desirable trophy for poachers.
* **Futuristic Mammals Enters the Land:** Herd of Sker Buffaloes enters the land while the fur is drying up.
