Godzilla X Kong’s Huge Titan Skeleton Mystery Is Inspiring Some Wild Theories

TikToker @TOAA.ABOVE posted the scene and asked what the skeleton might be, with many commenters suggesting it’s a giant version of the Skullcrawlers, the monsters seen in 2017’s «Kong: Skull Island.» The comic «Skull Island: The Birth of Kong» states how these beasts could grow up to 194 feet long and 95 feet in height. The skeleton Kong walks over seems to be substantially bigger than that, but there’s a chance a Skullcrawler could have gotten much bigger from exposure to Hollow Earth’s energy.

Another good guess comes from a Godzilla online forum, where user Nicozilla suggests, «Maybe a giant warbat because the upper fangs.» The skeleton seen in «Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire» does have some notable fangs going into the ground, and Warbats have a serpentine shape in line with the skeleton. Warbats have already been introduced in the franchise, with Kong fighting them in 2021’s «Godzilla vs. Kong.» Similarly to the Skullcrawlers, the Warbats we’ve seen aren’t that big, but the skeleton could have been an exception, perhaps a King Warbat that existed at some point.

It would be cool if the filmmakers behind «Godzilla x Kong» pulled from previous movies to find a monster skeleton suitable to be a bridge, but there’s always a possibility it’s from a creature that audiences haven’t seen. Both Godzilla and Kong are going to need increasingly dangerous threats if the franchise is going to continue, so perhaps the bridge foreshadows a massive creature that hasn’t been spotted alive yet.
