Creatures of Skull Island (King Kong 2005)/Bio & Battles

Skull Island is a fictional island that hosts countless prehistoric creatures that have evolved into far more terrifying modern-day forms, and perhaps most famously the fifty-foot gorilla Kong. Located at approximately 12 degrees South and 78 degrees East (near Sumatra, Indonesia), Skull Island is named for a distinctive knoll in the center that bears resemblance to a human head. Also inhabited by a savage indigenous population, who have constructed massive gates to hold Kong at bay, Skull Island is a recluse location that has allowed the prehistoric beasts of millions of years ago to develop into frightening fighting machines far evolved from their cousins of the past. In 1948, the island sinks and is forever lost due to a huge earthquake that measures 9.2 on the Richter Scale.
