Skull Island abyss lizard

This creature's name is never spoken onscreen, but in the script for King Kong it is acknowledged as the Giant Lizard. The name "two-legged lizard" refers to the creature's distinctive trait of only possessing two limbs, although the film's script and novelization never indicate that the creature possesses only two legs. The Art and Making of Kong: Skull Island refers to it as the two legged lizard when discussing its influence on the Skullcrawlers' design. The box for NECA's King Kong figure that also includes a figure of this creature refers to it as the Pit Monster.


 * Two-Legs: The lizard has an elongated body with two forelimbs and a tail, but no hind legs. It only has two digits on each hand, like a chameleon or the two-toed earless skink native to Australia. Its neck bears a mane-like collection of spikes that creates a break in the crest that runs from its head to its tail.
 * Savage Dragon: After King Kong destroyed the log bridge and sent most of the Venture crew to their deaths in the chasm below, Jack Driscoll hid in a small crevice in the rock wall. Jack looked down and saw a giant two-legged lizard slowly scaling up a vine to his position. Jack quickly grabbed a dagger and cut the vine, sending the lizard plummeting into the chasm.
