Mire squid

According to Monarch's super species profile of the Mire Squid, it is classified as a "megalopod" under the sub-division of "Architeuthis dux (the giant squid) hybrid." The report states that the initial hypothesis was that the Mire Squid was a distant cousin of the Great Pacific Octopus with some notable evolutionary mutations. However, the Monarch report implies that it might be a result of geothermal gigantism that is seen in Skull Island's creatures, though the report also states that a more detailed geothermal study must be conducted to understand the environmental factors that lead to this gigantism.


 * Giant Ape Against the Sea Monster: While drinking from a lake and cleaning his wounded hand, Kong realized that a Mire Squid was lurking near him. Kong punched the water, leading the beast's tentacles to erupt from the water and wrap around Kong. After briefly struggling with the Mire Squid's tentacles, Kong was able to stomp on its head and crush it. Kong tore off some of the Mire Squid's tentacles and ate them, then dragged the creature's carcass away.

All Monsters Attack!
The name "Skull Devil" was trademarked by Legendary, but the tweets from Warner Brothers Japan called the creature the River Devil, so that is the name we will go with until we have confirmation. That's why we have the disclaimer at the top of the page stating the name is conjectural.
