Number 10

## Summary

**Skullcrawlers** are giant two-legged reptilian monsters who first appeared in the 2017 Legendary Pictures films, *Kong: Skull Island*.

Insatiable carnivorous monsters that dwell deep beneath the surface of Skull Island, the Skullcrawlers were responsible for wiping out the majority of Kong's species long ago, and frequently menaced the other creatures living on the island as well. The orphaned Kong took it upon himself to keep the Skullcrawlers' population in check and defend the island's other residents from their savagery. In 1973, the Monarch expedition to Skull Island unwittingly drew numerous Skullcrawlers to the surface, which in turn drew the ire of Kong towards the humans who had inadvertently started the crisis. Though Kong was able to handle most of the subterranean creatures, he was eventually faced with a colossal 95-foot-tall Titan Skullcrawler, known as the **Skull Devil**. Kong engaged in a brutal struggle with the Skull Devil, and with the aid of his newfound human allies was finally able to triumph over the horrific creature. In 2024, Apex Cybernetics used captured Skullcrawlers, including one even larger than the Skull Devil, to test Mechagodzilla's capabilities.
