* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:In the novelization, the Skar King's motivations are expanded upon; in addition to wanting to claim the surface world, he also intends to invade and kill all life there as well to further assert his dominance. One of the reasons he enslaved Shimo is to further reach this goal of eradicating all life with the possession of a titan incredibly powerful by their standards, enough to cause an extinction-level catastrophe]].

* TearsOfJoy: His eyes are shown welling up [[spoiler: When Kong, Suko and Shimo return having defeated the Skar King.]]

NoNameGiven: Not named in movie; was named by the movie's vfx animators.

[[folder: Stone Fist, Catcher, Knob and Boots]]

[[folder: Stone-Face and Catcher]]

Two Great Apes who willingly serve Skar King.

* NiceGirl: Shimo is benevolent as much as any gigantic Kaiju can be. [[spoiler:After being freed from Skar King, she shows her benevolent side to Kong and Suko by letting them mount and pet her. She also doesn't seem to harbor any sort of resentment towards the Great Apes that participated in inflicting her pain under Skar's orders probably because she knows that they were just as much as victims to Skat King like her outside of his inner circle.]]

* NiceGirl: Shimo is benevolent as much as any gigantic Kaiju can be. [[spoiler:After being freed from Skar King, she shows her benevolent side to Kong and Suko by letting them mount and pet her. She also doesn't seem to harbor any sort of resentment towards the Great Apes that participated in inflicting her pain under Skar's orders.]]

* TragicIceCharacter: As much as a kaiju can be. Shimo, starting with her name, is represented by the element of ice, and has cryokinetic abilities. The tragic part of her character comes into play when is revealed that she is a victim of Skar King, who has inflicted constant pain into her with his crystal control for several thousands of years, and keeps her chained in a dark pit sealed by a lava waterfall. In the past, he managed to enslave her somehow, and forced Shimo to create the last Ice Age. [[spoiler:When she is finally released from his control by Suko, she seems to be in a state of shock and doesn't fully realizes what it going on until Godzilla roars at her to bring her back to her senses.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Seeing Kong not respond to his overt acts of aggression beyond their initial meeting begins to soften Suko's views on the larger ape. This is further reinforced when they get to Skar King's seat of power and Kong magnanimously helps a beaten down slave gorilla to his feet while cold cocking the bully who struck him, and Skar King's demonstrations of cruelty (including killing Suko's caretaker) push him firmly towards Kong's side.

* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:It's implied he becomes Kong's son and the heir to his throne at the end of the film. Considering the bond they've built up over the course of the film, one can assume he's happy with it.]]

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He's loyal to Skar King, up until Skar King callously kills Suko's caretaker for a very minor slight, at which point he becomes loyal to Kong.

* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: While there in the movie, the novelization makes it clear [[spoiler:Suko joining in the final fight is him refusing to be afraid of Skar King and the Red Stripes anymore because Kong inspired him.]]

* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Downplayed, but his [[ButtMonkey poor luck]] makes him rather humorous, compared to his KnightOfCerebus leader.

A sadistic, tyrannical and brutal dictator who rules over a tribe of Great Apes with an iron fist and is personally responsible for the deaths of countless other Titans, including his own kind. The warmonger uses Shimo, '''the Mother Of All Titans''' as a personal attack dog to aid him in securing his reign. Obsessed with ruling over the Surface World, he led a war against Godzilla thousands of years ago that resulted in him and the remnants of his army being sealed away in a desolate region beneath even the normal Hollow Earth. Ever since then he has dreamed of escaping the prison realm and using the Ancient Titan to kill the Great Ruler and take his kingdom for himself.

* BigBad: Of ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire''. Not only is he oppressing Kong's species, but he plans to invade the Surface World after growing bored with his dominion over Hollow Earth.

* BrainsAndBrawn: A little downplayed. Even though Skar King is no slouch in being an adept and practical fighter by using skillful attacks and technique, Kong clearly outclasses him in sheer strength, therefore, he sadistically utilizes his maniacal intellect by being able to summon Shimo on his side as she serves as the prominent muscle when the two of them were later paired up against the might of Godzilla and Kong.

* TheCaligula: ''Without a doubt''. The Skar King is what happens when a [[ControlFreak controlling]], [[AxCrazy murderously unstable and sadistically violent]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] is put into a position of power that he should be ''nowhere'' near; an insane despot who uses torture and murder to coerce his terrified subjects into doing their bidding.

* TheConqueror: Skar had taken over many tribes of the Great Apes to try and make war upon the surface world and its ruling protector Godzilla. Ever since he was sealed in the badlands of the Hollow Earth, the False King longs for a rematch with the Great Ruler of the Titans and another attempt at conquering the surface with his army. Indeed, the Iwi describe him as being outright obsessed with it, and there is clear sadistic glee on his face when he finally reaches the surface again.

** He also contrasts [[EvilInc Apex Cybernetics]], the human antagonists of ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' whose actions set off that movie's plot. Both are hegemonic schemers that stand apart comparative to most Titans for their uses of technology and higher intelligence to get what they want, and both seek to control a Titan of mass destruction that they're keeping inside their respective lairs as their attack-dog against Godzilla, Kong and any other threat so they can secure supremacy over the Earth for themselves. But whereas Apex were an up-and-coming mega-corporation, created their own [[HumongousMecha hi-tech cybernetic Titan]], and they were completely undone by [[SelfDisposingVillain their own hubris]] before they ever came close to realizing their dreams of conquering the Titans and ruling supreme on the Earth; the Skar King is an AncientEvil Titan who has already made significant progress toward establishing himself as the apex monster, having killed and enslaved other Titans including enough Great Apes to form an entire kingdom already, and he's using an ancient, organic Titan as his weapon while having much more success at controlling it than Apex had with their Titan weapon. Whereas Apex were a direct EvilCounterpart to fellow Titan-researching organization Monarch, the Skar King is a direct evil counterpart to fellow Alpha Titan simian Kong.
* ControlFreak: Wingard noted in an interview that a desire for control is one of Skar King's direct motivations. This shows in the movie itself, as part of his introduction see him threaten to assault Suko for the crime of not laughing at Kong hard enough for his liking, then murdering Suko's caretaker for trying to talk him down.

* TheDreaded: He undoubtedly lords himself over the other Great Apes. Right when he drops down to face Kong, the rest of them are seen being either cautious or cowering as a few of them are slightly backing away from him. The Iwi consider him a massive threat and Godzilla almost died at his army's hand in the past despite ultimately coming out on top, when he begins to break free from his prison the King of the Monsters sees him as a big enough threat to begin powering up in preparation.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: As an Ape Titan like Kong, Skar King is more human-like in his intelligence and mindset as opposed to the other Titans. However, unlike Kong who embodies the best parts of humanity and is a benevolent king, Skar King only embodies the worst traits of humanity and is a power hungry tyrant who seeks total submission over others.

* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:In the novelization, the Skar King's motivations are expanded upon; in addition to wanting to claim the surface world, he also intends to invade and kill all life there as well to further assert his dominance. One of the reasons he enslaved Shimo is to further reach this goal with the possession of a titan incredibly powerful by their standards, enough to cause an extinction-level catastrophe]].

* PunnyName: FunWithHomophones example; his title of "Skar King" can sound a lot like "scarring", and if there's one thing he appears to enjoy, it's going into battle with intent to hurt. In fact, the bloody handprints he leaves on his territory and on his cowed Kongs can make one think of him marking - ''scarring'' - them to demonstrate ownership.

* SatanicArchetype: A distinctly [[RedIsViolent red]]-themed, anthropomorphic-shaped tyrant who rules over an army of once-great protectors like himself that he reduced to lackeys in his own image (much like Satan seducing angels to his side in Heaven), and who seeks to usurp God (Godzilla), for which said God and his Angel (Mothra) locked the Skar King and his army away in a [[FireAndBrimstoneHell fiery, magmatic realm beneath the Earth]] long ago. The Skar King is prophesized to escape from his [[SealedEvilInACan prison]] and wage one last war against Godzilla and Mothra for total dominion over the world, attacking and jeopardizing mankind's world in the process, aided by a dragon that can bring about a cataclysm like in the Book of Revelations. This prophecy comes true in the present day, before the battle ends with the Skar King's final defeat and destruction at the hands of good. Adam Wingard has even described Skar King as a "devilish, Kong-type character".

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He is not only a tyrant who keeps his power by threatening and killing any great ape who slightly defies him or doesn't fall in line, but he also keeps Shimo in line by using a crystal to cause her pain whenever she doesn't obeys him.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she is first time introduced, Shimo is in a shrouded pit in near impenetrable darkness, the only glimpse of her presence being a pair of intensely glowing blue eyes. This visual cue, immediately establishes an atmosphere of menace and foreboding around Shimo. Kong is left to dread the unseen threat lurking within the darkness, effectively building anticipation for Shimo's eventual reveal. For the rest of the movie, she spends most of her time in this threatening state.

* HellIsThatNoise: Prior to her physical reveal, Shimo lets out a deep, bone-chilling roar that echoes through the darkness of her pit. Even before laying eyes on her, Kong is instantly gripped by fear, showcasing the effectiveness of sound design in building tension and establishing Shimo as a formidable presence.

* ItCanThink: While Shimo doesn't reach the strategic depths of Godzilla, Kong or the manipulative Skar King, she still possesses above average animalistic kaiju intelligence. She is shown understanding things like distinguishing right from wrong by constantly refusing to obey Skar King's orders, implying she has a strong set of morals. She recognizes who is an enemy or potential ally, and she can execute or defy commands. Beyond the expected roars and rampages, Shimo also exhibits an almost human range of emotions, she expresses multiple times resentment toward the Skar King for abusing her, she seems apologetic at times about having to attack Kong or Godzilla, [[spoiler:shock and confusion after being released from Skar King's control, and gratefulness for being freed, genuine joy and the ability to form friendships with Titans from different species. The novelization reveals that she also froze Ghidorah in ice to stop him from reaching Hollow Earth, recognizing the danger he was representing.]]

* KnightInShiningArmor: What she becomes after [[spoiler: being freed from Skar King's control. In a lot of ways, she fits the classical depiction of a knight: she's a powerful warrior who has sworn herself in service to [[TheGoodKing a benevolent ruler]], she has shiny white scales evocative of a knight's armour and Kong even rides her like a horse, bringing to mind the image of a knight's noble white steed.]]

* NiceGirl: Shimo is benevolent as much as any gigantic Kaiju can be. [[spoiler:After being freed from Skar King, she shows her benevolent side to Kong and Suko by letting them mount and pet her. She also doesn't seem to harbor any sort of resentment towards the great apes that participated in inflicting her pain under Skar's orders.]]

!!!The Skar King's Court

Kong's people. A tribe of Great Apes who once ruled the Hollow Earth and have since been reduced to Skar King's slaves.

A simian juvenile creature with a general appearance similar to Kong.

A Great Ape who is Suko's caretaker.

A sadistic, tyrannical and brutal dictator who rules over a tribe of Great Apes with an iron fist and is personally responsible for the deaths of countless other Titans, including his own kind.

!!!The Skar King's Court

Kong's people. A tribe of Great Apes who once ruled the Hollow Earth and have since been reduced to Skar King's slaves.

A simian juvenile creature with a general appearance similar to Kong.

A Great Ape who is Suko's caretaker.

* {{Sadist}}: He clearly enjoys watching others suffer especially [[spoiler: when he kills Suko's caregiver simply because the little ape didn't laugh loud enough with others at Kong's metal tooth and the former stood up for him.]]

** Moments after his introduction in his lair, he marches around by trudging forward on his knuckles as he's intimidating his slaves as he's passing by while seeing Kong in his first confront.

* DistaffCounterpart: Sharing reptilian features and a dominance over ice-themed elemental powers --similar in a way to Godzilla's blue atomic fire -- Shimo bears a strong resemblance to the King of the Monsters. Both kaiju possess powerful cyan-colored energy beams and bioluminescence, and their designs draw inspiration from similar sources (bears and komodo dragons). This is further emphasized by Shimo's origins in early drafts, where she was envisioned as an explicitly "ice version" of Godzilla.

* BearyFriendly: [[spoiler:Shimo resembles polar bears. After being freed from the Skar King by Suko, she becomes a completely docile kaiju, enjoys being petted by Kong.]]

A Kong who serves as Skar King's ''de facto'' second-in-command.

Two Kongs who willingly serve Skar King.

A Kong who is Suko's caretaker.

[[folder:Suko]]
[[quoteright:724:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mini_kong_infobox.png]]
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire''
!!!'''Species:''' Unidentified simian titan

A simian juvenile creature with a general appearance similar to Kong.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: While it's never explicitly stated, Suko sharing Skar King's distinctive red fur indicates that Skar King is his father, which would align with typical Great Ape familial structures in which the alpha male breeds with the troop's females to pass along his genetics.
* BadassAndChildDuo: He and Kong become a giant-sized, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork reluctant]] version of this after their initial meeting. Kong forces Suko to guide him to the heart of Skar King's Court, while Suko tries half-heartedly to get Kong killed by other monsters. Kong, understanding that Suko is only a child, doesn't take it personally. Becomes less reluctant after Suko's guardian is killed and Kong tries to avenge her, with Suko helping Kong escape Skar King's wrath and get to safety. [[spoiler:By the end of ''Godzilla x Kong'', they have forged a genuine bond.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Kong's kindness and generosity to Suko eventually win the young ape over. Most notably, after Suko tries to get Kong killed by tricking him into wading into the Drownviper's lair he clearly expects to be beaten as punishment once Kong catches up to him - but when Kong shows him mercy, and later generosity by offering him a piece of the Drownviper's carcass to eat, Suko doesn't know how to react.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:When Kong loses his axe and it's left behind in a Hollow Earth tunnel, Suko retrieves the axe, takes it with him to Rio, and uses it to smash the crystal that Skar used to control Shimo, freeing her from his command.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Seeing Kong not respond to his overt acts of aggression beyond their initial meeting begins to soften Suko's views on the larger ape. This is further reinforced when they get to Skar King's seat of power and Kong magnanimously helps a beaten down slave gorilla to his feet while cold cocking the bully who struck him, and Skar King's demonstrations of cruelty (including killing Suko's caretaker) push him firmly towards Kong's side.
* ChildByRape: It's heavily implied that [[spoiler:he's one of Skar King's many children. In a FreezeFrameBonus female apes are seen under guard next to Skar King's throne, holding infant apes with Skar King's distinctive reddish fur, implying that Skar King keeps an unwilling harem specifically to sire children for him. Suko also sports Skar King's reddish coloration, implying that Suko was born in this way.]]
* EnfantTerrible: Suko starts like this, appearing cute and innocent before biting Kong, helping Skar's enforcers to get him and then sneakily trying to get him killed by the lake monster. This was due to growing up in the harsh environment of Skar King's empire that Suko was initially so vicious in the first place since he warms up to Kong when shown kindness.
* {{Expy}}: He's basically the Monsterverse's version of Kiko from ''Film/TheSonOfKong'' and Baby Kong from ''Film/KingKongLives''.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a faded pink vertical slash that's placed over his right eye.
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:It's implied he becomes Kong's son and the heir to his throne at the end of the film. Considering the bond they've built up over the course of the film, one can assume he's happy with it.]]
* JuniorCounterpart: Of Kong, to the point of being referred to as Mini-Kong by Bernie Hayes. Of course, being a Titan, he's still much bigger than a human.
* MadeOfIron: Even after being used as a makeshift billy club by Kong to hit the other apes with, he displays no broken bones and keeps on going.
* ManBitesMan: Or rather "Ape Bites Ape" in this case, but Suko savagely bites Kong's fingers during his introduction scene.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He's loyal to Skar King, up until Skar King callously kills Suko's caretaker for a very minor slight, at which point he becomes loyal to Kong.
* NatureVsNurture: While Suko starts off as a little brat in league with the Followers of the Skar King, it quickly becomes clear that this isn't because he was born evil - rather, it's just a result of him being raised by [[AbusiveParents Skar]]. Once Kong shows him a little mercy and compassion, he quickly improves.
* NervousWreck: Being around the Skar King makes him one, [[AbusiveParents for good reason.]]
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: While there in the movie, the novelization makes it clear [[spoiler:Suko joining in the final fight is him refusing to be afraid of Skar King and the Red Stripes anymore because Kong inspired him.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's comparatively puny compared to Kong and the rest of his tribe as he reaches up to their legs but he is a "scrappy fighter" that has raw primal strength. [[spoiler: The little ape was able to lift and carry Kong's axe, a weapon that's far larger than his whole body and destroyed the very crystal that Skar King used to make Shimo yield to his will.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He sees Kong getting ambushed by the Drownviper and starts hoofing it after trying to lure Kong to his water grave. He's then stopped dead in his tracks from Kong's thrown axe, along with a severed piece of flesh from the creature he's already freshly killed. Kong doesn't hold it against him and continues to venture through the Hollow Earth by his side.]]
* ShoulderTeammate: [[spoiler: After defeating Skar King, Kong returns to Hollow Earth riding Shimo while carrying Suko on his shoulder.]]
* ThereIsAnother: Was the first other giant gorilla that Kong met when he was thought to be the LastOfHisKind.

[[folder:Spineprowler]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/springerpower.png]]
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted''
!!!'''Species:''' "Ossis Praedator"

A species of vicious, cat-like predator found in the forested regions of the Hollow Earth.

* BewareMyStingerTail: It has a series of sharp, bony protrusions running down its back and along its tail, which are stated to be capable of powerful lashing attacks.
* GlassCannon: Noted to be incredibly swift and agile for its size, but it has little durability compared to the likes of Kong and quickly goes down once a foe has a good grasp on it.
* GoodLipsEvilJaws: {{Subverted|Trope}}. They have lipless jaws with their giant fangs on full display, compared to Kong's lipped, expressive mouth. Although the first Spineprowler introduced picks a fight with Kong, the fact that Kong lets it live after fighting it off is telling[[note]]usually, Kong unlike Godzilla goes for the throat whenever another monster crosses him[[/note]], and its subsequent capture and death by Raymond Martin is horrible. When Martin uses the Titan Hunter to murder a Spineprowler mother and attack her cubs, it's very much the cubs whom are the sympathetic party and [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Martin]] who is the monster.
* MamaBear: Its species profile notes that females will viciously defend their offspring, which one is shown doing in the story, fighting a giant mech to the death to protect her two cubs.
* MonsterIsAMommy: PlayedWith. [[AxCrazy Raymond Martin]], while hunting for a second Spineprowler, comes across a pair of cubs and tries to [[WouldHurtAChild murder them]], prompting their mother to [[MamaBear react accordingly]].
* MonsterMouth: It has a constantly snarling face with exposed gums and fangs far too big to fit in its mouth.
* NonMaliciousMonster: Despite being classified as a "Destroyer", its role in the comic is just as a vicious animal. One attacks Kong, but quickly retreats once it's clear it's no match for him, and another attacks the Titan Hunter to defend her cubs from the mech.
* PantheraAwesome: A giant, leopard-like kaiju that is said to be one of the Hollow Earth's most vicious predator species.
* ProphetEyes: They have milky gray, pupiless eyes.

!!!'''Appear In:''' ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire''
Pack-hunting canine/boar Titans who Kong hunts himself in the Hollow Earth.
----
* AlienBlood: Their blood is bright green.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Are pretty terrifying-looking creatures on their own. Kong hunts them for breakfast, though they also try to hunt him in large numbers.
* FullBoarAction: Resemble a kaiju-sized ''Daeodon'', an extinct scavenging ungulate known as the "hell pig".
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The pack retreats after Kong ''graphically'' kills several of them and shows them mutilating the body of the last one to fall into his traps they run off.
* ToServeMan: The novelization reveals that they're more than happy to eat humans despite the size discrepancy, and have devoured several of Monarch's early survey crew--with it being implied that they ate Nathan Lind.
%%Verification? * ShoutOut: They resemble the Wargs from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.

!!!'''Appear In:''' ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire''
------
* AmphibianAtLarge: A very large frog with an inflatable throat-sac larger than the rest of its body.
* MightyRoar: Played with. It's small for a Titan, but its vocalizations are extremely loud and nigh-identical to the roars of Kong's species. This [[FooledByTheSound leads to Kong mistaking one's bellowing for another Kong]], only to be disappointed when he comes across the Parrot Frog making them.
* VoiceChangeling: The Parrot Frog is shown mimicking Kong's roars, tricking him into thinking there's another one of his kind. It's likely that the Parrot Frog can mimic other sounds, but this isn't demonstrated in the film

* AlienBlood: It has green blood like the Wart Dogs. Although, strangely, its innards and flesh are still red.
* KilledOffscreen: One minute it's fighting Kong while Suko runs off, the next it cuts to Suko being caught up to by Kong who shows up with the creature's beheaded body.
* SeaSerpent: It is a large serpentine Titan that lives in a lake in Hollow Earth and preys on anything that enters its territory. Suko attempts to use one to kill Kong, but Kong is able to overpower and kill it instead.
* StockNessMonster: As a giant reptilian serpent/eel monster residing in a lake within the hollow earth, It does have some similarities to the Loch Ness monster.

!!!'''Appear In:''' ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire''
A species of flying Titan who inhabit the skies and attack threats with their electricity. Their bright colors make them easy to identify, and Monarch has taken to enabling their ships to mimic this color to deter attacks from more aggressive creatures in the Hollow Earth.
-----
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:Trapper lures a a large flock of them to stall the Skar King's advance into the surface world.]]
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: Their finlike wings and baleen-filled mouths imply this.
* GiantFlyer: They're not at all large by Titan standards, but they do appear to be bigger than a real-life Quetzalcoatlus.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They resemble a cross between a shark and a flamingo, but with vividly yellow skin pattern.
* ShockAndAwe: They have bioelectrical abilities that are strong enough that most predators in the Hollow Earth don't bother with hunting them.

* {{Expy}}: Essentially a stand-in for Toho's Manda, with some traits of Titanosaurus.

[[quoteright:699:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000012388.png]]

A Kong who is Suko's caretaker.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He's [[spoiler: killed by Skar King after defending Suko for not laughing loud enough by getting kicked into a river of lava.]]
* FirstFriend: While "friend" might be going a bit far, the novelization reveals that he was the only Great Ape to treat Suko with a measure of kindness prior to Kong, letting him eat the scraps of his meals and shielding him from being attacked by the others.
* MeaningfulName: His fingers are twisted as a result of presumably old age or illness.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He shields Suko from being attacked by the Skar King, who turns away from them... [[spoiler:and then mule-kicks Gnarled Finger into a pool of lava for daring to defy him]].
* SacrificialLamb: He's one of the kindest apes we meet and [[spoiler:he gets killed shortly after defending Suko to establish how irredeemably vile the Skar King really is.]]

[[folder:Wart Dogs]]
[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000012102.png]]

Pack-hunting canine/boar Titans who Kong hunts himself in the Hollow Earth.

* AlienBlood: Their blood is bright green.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Are pretty terrifying-looking creatures on their own. Kong hunts them for breakfast, though they also try to hunt him in large numbers.
* FullBoarAction: Resemble a kaiju-sized ''Daeodon'', an extinct scavenging ungulate known as the "hell pig".
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The pack retreats after Kong ''graphically'' kills several of them and shows them mutilating the body of the last one to fall into his traps they run off.
* ToServeMan: The novelization reveals that they're more than happy to eat humans despite the size discrepancy, and have devoured several of Monarch's early survey crew--with it being implied that they ate Nathan Lind.
%%Verification? * ShoutOut: They resemble the Wargs from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.

------
* AmphibianAtLarge: A very large frog with an inflatable throat-sac larger than the rest of its body.
* MightyRoar: Played with. It's small for a Titan, but its vocalizations are extremely loud and nigh-identical to the roars of Kong's species. This [[FooledByTheSound leads to Kong mistaking one's bellowing for another Kong]], only to be disappointed when he comes across the Parrot Frog making them.
* VoiceChangeling: The Parrot Frog is shown mimicking Kong's roars, tricking him into thinking there's another one of his kind. It's likely that the Parrot Frog can mimic other sounds, but this isn't demonstrated in the film

A colossal eel-like titan inhabiting a large lake.

* AlienBlood: It has green blood like the Wart Dogs. Although, strangely, its innards and flesh are still red.
* KilledOffscreen: One minute it's fighting Kong while Suko runs off, the next it cuts to Suko being caught up to by Kong who shows up with the creature's beheaded body.
* SeaSerpent: It is a large serpentine Titan that lives in a lake in Hollow Earth and preys on anything that enters its territory. Suko attempts to use one to kill Kong, but Kong is able to overpower and kill it instead.
* StockNessMonster: As a giant reptilian serpent/eel monster residing in a lake within the hollow earth, It does have some similarities to the Loch Ness monster.
