King Kong (character)

King Kong (キングコング Kingu Kongu) is one of the two (the other being Godzilla) main protagonists of Gabe’s MonsterVerse. He is a giant gorilla-like ape who is also a member of the Titan species and an ally of Godzilla. He is an enemy of the hunters and the archenemy of Mechani-Kong. Terry Notary and Toby Kebbel provide vocal effects for Kong, reprising their roles from Kong: Skull Island (2017), in audio footage.

Early life
Kong was born on Skull Island to a super-species of large apes that resided on the island. However, the majority of his species were slaughtered by Skull Crawlers until only his parents remained. His mother was able to give birth to him and hid him in a cave to prevent him from being discovered by the Skull Crawlers. As his parents fought against Ramarak; the alpha and largest of the Skull Crawlers, Kong could only watch as they were killed, leaving him as the last of his species.

After his parents death, Kong would have to take the responsibility of surviving into his own hands. Kong would go on to mature over time, visiting The Boneyard that held the remains of his parents to mourn over them. He also controlled the Skull Crawler population on the island, killing them while they were small to prevent them from overrunning the island again.
