Ramarak

Portrayed by Kark Urban

The most infamous of Skull Island's Scourges is, of course, Ramarak. The dreaded leader of the Skullcrawlers and his brood are well-known for devouring entire populations of animals, though the skull devil's motivation is actually not as self-serving as most believe...

The Skullcrawlers are constantly ravenous, and are only concerned with satiating their agonising hunger. In a way, they are oddly pitiable, though since some individuals take sadistic pleasure in attacking and killing other creatures they aren’t entirely sympathetic. Ramarak is almost an entirely different beast. Though still in a state of constant starvation, it appears that the effects of hypervory are lesser for alpha skullcrawlers than they are for stooge skullcrawlers, and so he has other things on his mind. Ramarak wishes for his species continued survival and comfort, desiring only to help his fellows in living good lives, and sees the other gods of Skull Island as a threat to that. This has become Ramarak's primary motive in life, to the point where his violent actions in the name of it have led to him being referred to as a "Skullcrawler extremist". Though his interests are primarily in ensuring his species has a good life, he has been known to take sadistic pleasure in tormenting certain Kaiju (particularly Kong), though some believe this may stem from Ramarak attempting to gain some sort of catharsis for towards what he views as misdeeds towards his species.

Everyone on Skull Island either fears or hates the Skullcrawlers, as they all know that if they were ever to come out in large numbers then they would all be screwed. The Kaiju with the most hate for these marauding mosasauroids is Kong due to their exacerbation of the Primal Rage, though some believe that he is projecting his own anger and guilt on them to gain some form of catharsis.  Humanity agrees with the Skull Island Kaiju in that the Skullcrawlers are a threat to be eliminated. Though some organisations (SCALE being the most obvious and prominent of them) argue that the rampant reptiles have a right to live, and MONARCH acknowledges that the threat they pose is not entirely their fault, the Skullcrawlers' hypervory means that they are a severe threat to Skull Island, and if they devour everything there they may spread out to the rest of the world. The Iwi fear the Skullcrawlers more than anything else on Skull Island: in their mythology, they play the role of the psychopomp, being known as the "servants of death" due in large part to the fact that only a handful of humans have ever survived an encounter with a Skullcrawler (the only exceptions are the MONARCH expeditions and the most skilled of the Iwi huntsmen). Ramarak himself is viewed as the god of death. Due to this, they are the primary reason why the tribesmen are mostly silent. 

Even before the bizarre meteor showers that took out a number of Monarch survey stations it had became apparent that the Skullcrawler population had come under attack from an unknown source. With no communication from the operatives and scientists stationed nearby, Monarch launched an investigation and found strange tracks made by machine and another set by made an odd bird like creature. The intruders that had made these tracks had not just gone and killed any Skullcrawlers in their way but also laid waste to the very small Kumonga and Kamacuras population that inhabited the East of the Island. The Skullcrawlers, usually an aggressive and viscous species notably responsible for killing off the Great Apes of Skull Island, had since become more cautious and Emma Russell had suggested that it was not from the King of Skull Island but these intruders that had lead the creatures to act far more timidly. Radiation left on the carcasses of the animals was found to be that same as that coming from the moon. The crush injuries and clean slices that plagued the corpses become unnerving evidence that a titan or a Kaiju was not killing these creatures for food or territorial disputes. Said culprits were killing these creatures with either a purpose or for fun. Emma Russell’s team went on to inspect King Kong and his residence however found it untouched even though the two killer creatures had clearly visited the Ape King. King Kong himself showed no unusual behaviours and the two creatures that had visited him had since left without a trace.

Got any designs for MUTO Prime? IF you've read/or heard about the Godzilla Aftershock comic thingy. Or perhaps even Scylla, Behemoth, Methusela, MUTO 3, and the Skull Crawlers and Devil(That being Ramarak, the largest from Kong Skull Island)

Yes!! After going off and doing so many classic kaiju designs, I have neglected the other Titans in the Monsterverse! Soon, I’m planning too.

But, I’ve also got gijinka re-designs as an option for anyone interested in some commission drawings from me! Might make the process go a little faster! I’ll be opening them in the next few days! There are just so many characters to cover! TAT

Tbh every trailer that comes out gets me more and more hyped for KotM, but less and less for Godzilla vs. Kong. I mean, if the Big G can take on a three headed storm dragon greatly outclassing him in size and power, then what threat is a primate half his size? I just don't understand how it would work without feeling like a step down.

Now I may be Team Godzilla (Always have been since I was a wee lad and will be when I’m as old as Stan Lee), but Imma play “Rival’s Advocate” on Kong.

It is implied Kong gets stronger with age and is confirmed a teenager by the standards of his species known as Titanus Kong in Skull Island. By the time he reaches adulthood, he’s gonna be big enough to look the big guy dead in the face and tell him to square up. 

Skull Island also shows that Kong’s greatest assets are his creativity and quick thinking in terms of fighting, as seen in the fight against Ramarak where he uses the propeller blade of an old ship attached to a chain as a makeshift weapon as well as managing to use the voracious appetite of Ramarak to his advantage by ripping out his innards after his left arm was choked down.

However, while Kong will be able to put up a fight against Godzilla, Godzilla himself is the clear winner for a myriad of reasons.

Experience and durability come into focus especially when looking at the 2014 movie, Skull Island, and KOTM.

Godzilla has been shown to survive the Castle Bravo “tests”, which had an output of 15 Megatons of TNT Force, survived a building collapse on him, shelled by Naval armaments while hauling ass to San Francisco, and absorbed the radiation of the nuke at the end of the movie. If he can tank King Ghidorah, he’s practically a god damn juggernaught, especially given that Aftershock shows that the MUTOs are just babies to the Jinshin-Mushi (MUTO Prime) and it’s pretty clear he’s gonna be the clear winner.

Kong on the other hand, has been shown to be damaged by helicopter blades and napalm in a single movie.

Now while Kong is clever, he’s also younger. Given how Godzilla is about 250 million years old, Kong has to be at least maybe a couple hundred years old.
