King kong vs giant crocodiles เต ม เร อง

The giant, broad-bodied Foetodon is a surly jungle predator and scavenger, well-adapted to life prowling leaf litter-chocked forest floor. Scutes along its back betray the species common ancestry with crocodilians, but the snout is short and heavily reinforced for bone-crushing and brutal territorial confrontations.

Ecology[]

Both an ambush predator and a scavenger, Foetodon is found on the litter-strewn jungle floor, usually near game trails, where it will gladly take anything offered. Foetodon will also eat carrion, and will dig into mounds of leaf litter in search of large invertebrates. Young Foetodon live in lakes and streams until large enough to safely venture out onto land and into the jungles.

Personality/Motivation[]

Foetodon has typical animal motivations. Like most of the predators on the island, it will abandon its meal to chase fresher meat.

Abilities/Tactics[]

Foetodon will usually scrape out a hollow near a game trail or will burrow into mounds of litter, lying quietly for a prey item to appear. One quick lunge and a bone-crushing bite later, and Foetodon usually has its meal. Its thick hide acts as an armour, it has a strong sense of smell which helps it in hunting prey. The World Of Kong Book gives it 5/10 running, 1/2 leaping, and 4/8 swimming.

The Foetodon has poor eyesight, but, as a solitary ambush predator, this does not impede its success. Lying concealed beneath leaves in excavated scrapes along the edges of game trails, the predator will wait patiently to ambush oblivious prey using the path. Most often these are small herbivores (like Pugiodorsus, tree-tops or one of the large flightless birds like Hylaeornis) caught unawares as they pick their way along the path, but a Foetodon takes virtually any prey available, even Ligocristus, young Kongs, and Avarusaurus. The boorish carnivore cannot afford to be choosy. Its attitude is one of “bit first and ask questions later.” As such, much depends upon the effectiveness of the first, powerful bite.

A Foetodon’s physiology is geared toward small bursts of activity with long periods of rest in between. When lunging, it can do so with frightening speed and power. The massive jaws exert a staggering pressure, enough to crush bones and cripple, thereby ensuring that even if it fails to kill or secure the prey with the first bite, the wounded victim is unlikely to be able to escape.

The species has an excellent sense of smell for tracking wounded prey. It also uses its keen nose to grub out invertebrates living amid the thick leaf litter. This veritable sea of decomposing vegetable matter can be many feet deep and hide all manner of small snacks to interest a hungry Foetodon. Indeed, the young live exclusively on these morsels while still small and conceal themselves in the detritus and in marshes from larger predators, including cannibalistic members of their own kind.

The adults themselves can have predators, like V. rexes.

Appearance[]

Foetodon has a similar appearance of a Notosuchus (a close relative of crocodiles), although much stockier. It reaches a length of 20 feet, with a broad build and mottled grayish skin, and weighs up to 2 tons. The height of the Foetodon is 5 feet. The face and jaws of Foetodon are often covered in blisters from infections picked up while foraging in the leaf litter. Like a Komodo Dragon, the mouth, claws and tail are the main weapons. Because of its natural infections, a bite from the Foetodon can spread some serious diseases.

History[]

After escaping from a V-Rex, Ann Darrow ran through the jungles of Skull Island until she came upon a Foetodon feeding on the corpse of another creature. While hiding, Ann accidentally crushed a branch under her bare feet, attracting the Foetodon's attention. Ann tried to make her escape, but was spotted by a second Foetodon. The Foetodon then chased Ann through the jungle, fortunately for Ann the Foetodon got stuck between the trees, she keeps running & hides inside a hollow log. Ann stops, panting for air, sweating profusely due to the hot wet muggy climate, she sighs in relief having escaped.

Ann then notices she’s lying on something smooth & scaly, Ann’s eyes widen as she sees massive Madtsoia python crawling towards her, it investigates Ann, coming face to face with her, Ann is petrified, the Python gazes into her eyes, Ann is transfixed, she feel’s something on her back & looks over to see, the snakes tail slithering over her shoulder, the python has her completely hypnotised so she puts up no resistance as it slowly wraps it’s tail around her neck, the hypnotised Ann looks down her body, the snakes coils begin to wrap around her entire body.

Ann is helpless, hypnotised as muscular coils envelope her from neck to feet, Ann is immobilised, once she’s completely wrapped up, the python begins to constrict & suffocate her. Ann clenches her feet, starts wheezing for air, & with her air ways constricted she struggled to scream for help, tears begin to streak down her face, Ann knows she is not going to be saved, & is going to eaten alive, the python waited for Ann to breathe out & then squeezes tighter & tighter, crushed, Ann is slowly asphyxiated, she falls unconscious.

The Madtsoia begins to swallow Ann head first, as it continues to devour her it paused for a moment, sensing something. The Python quickly regurgitates Ann & uncoils itself around her body, it slivers off into hiding after being spooked, Ann regains consciousness, coughing violently after being asphyxiated, she runs out of the log but hears something large breathing behind her, she slowly turns & to her horror sees a Vastatosaurus rex looking at her. Ann runs for it, the huge inbred Tyrannosaur begins to chases her through the jungle, she avoids its attempts to snap her up, even causing it fall into a ravine, Ann runs along the side of the edge while continues to pursue her below, as the chase goes on the Foetodon from earlier appears, it initially is set upon Ann but quickly begins to flee at the sight of the V-Rex, the Tyrannosaur turns its attention to the Foetodon, Ann slips & slides down a muddy slope, she gets up & continues running before tripping on a huge log, she then lies down & hides, the V-Rex pins the Foetodon under its huge foot & bites down crushing it under its immense jaw pressure, it then picks up the corpse & wanders off to enjoy its meal, unaware of Ann’s presence nearby.

With the Rex gone, Ann breaths a sigh of relief & starts to crawl along in case anything else notices her, she then hears loud breathing once again, she looks behind & sees another Vastatosaurus, this one being the mother/sister of the one who chased her, it attempts to eat her, but lies flat on the log, leaving it unable to reach her, the inbred Tyrannosaur then knocks to log to make her fall off causing to scream, the scream brings Kong to her rescue who fends off the female V-Rex but also attracts the attention of its child who finishes its Foetodon meal.

Skeletal Adaptations[]

No longer a water predator like its distant ancestors, a Foetodon relies upon the power of its strong, high-mounted back legs to propel it forward when striking. Because juvenile Foetodon still spend much of their lives in water, a large, powerful, broad tail (like a crocodile’s) is retained in the larger land-based adult. Foetodon sometimes suffer from a disfiguring infection picked up from the leaf litter. So virulent can the infection become that even the bones of the reptiles frequently bare cruel scars.

Youngster survival[]

Using the shallow ponds as nurseries, baby Foetodon swim among the weeds, hunting invertebrates and swamp-wings until old and large enough to survive ashore. During their infancy they are often prey for wading birds, the sharp pickax-like bills of herons like the great grey heron making short work of their leathery armor. The tables will be turned when the infant reptiles are grown.

Juvenile Foetodon are also common prey to young Piranhadon, snapped up as they float on the surface in their nursery groups.
