History Characters / KingKong2005

* ArchEnemy: Of Kong and his entire species. The tie in book "The World of Kong: A Natural history of Skull Island" rveals that the two species having been battling for dominance over the island since time immemorial.

* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls to his death after being fatally shoot.

* [[Main/{{Jerkass}} Jerkass]]: He's lacking in morals and doesn't care much for the safety of others.

* PetTheDog: A deleted scene revealed that Carl took Preston in because the latter failed law school and Carl felt sorry for him.

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: He disappears from the movie when Kong begins his rampage on New York.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: While he still dies in the game, he survives the log scene and dies in pursuit of Kong by a stampeding ''V. Rex'' instead.

* TookALevelInBadass: In the bug pit, he grabbed a hold of a Thompson and open fire on the giant bugs crawling all over Jack's body, managing to hit and kill all of them without harming Jack before he runs out of ammo.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The worm creatures slowly devouring him limb by limb before eating his head is one of the better examples of this. To a much lesser extent, the game features a ''V. Rex'' tearing him apart.

* DeathByAdaptation: The tie-in game has him killed by a ''V. Rex'' not long after Ann is captured, as opposed to getting knocked off the log and eaten by the worm creatures.

* BiggerIsBetter: Against all laws of nature, many of these monsters are huge.

* ArchEnemy: Of Kong and his enitre species. The tie in book "The World of Kong: A Natural history of Skull Island" rveals that the two species having been battling for dominance over the island since time immemorial.

* {{Expy}}: Of the ''T. rex'' from the original movie.
* SuperPersistentPredator: It chases Ann even when it has more substantial prey in its mouth.

* StockDinosaurs: Their name is a lampshade hanging on it.

A giant, vicious raptor.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Though one of them subverts this during the stampede--when one of the crewmembers opts to run through the legs of a sauropod, the raptor promptly starts chasing a crewmember who's closer.

* ScavengersAreScum: It's shown to be a scavenger and its establishing character moment is gorging itself on a carcass before attacking Ann and then being killed by a larger, more imposing predator.

* EyelessFace: Like most worms.

* ActionSurvivor: He's one of the only four survivors of the original rescue crew alongside Jack, Jimmy and Carl. When Kong flipped the log into the ravine, he grabbed a hold of a vine just in time, preventing him from falling into the pit and eaten by the bugs.

A descendant of the ''TyrannosaurusRex'', this dinosaur is one of the fiercest predators of Skull Island.

* LastOfHisKind: It is implied that Kong is the last giant ape on Skull Island: the most telling evidence is a shot of him entering his cave and walking past multiple skeletons of giant gorillas. This loneliness, along with the hostility of Skull Island's environment, accounts for both his ferocity and his need for company, which Ann Darrow supplies. Furthermore, [[AllThereInTheManual as stated in the background materials]], Skull Island's entire ecosystem is dying because the island is submerging due to geological activity. Only a few years at the events of the movie, a final earthquake buries Skull Island under the sea

The German captain of the Venture. Englehorn shows a dislike for Denham, presumably because of his obsessive nature. [[GenreSavvy Can't say we blame him, to be fair.]]

* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: A giant, killer crocodile that has taken to life on the land.
* ScavengersAreScum: It's shown to be a scavenger and its establishing character moment is gorging itself on a carcass before attacking Ann and then being killed by a larger, more imposing predator.

[[folder:Piranhadon]]
!!Piranhadon

A giant, serpentine fish that lives in the swamps of the island.

* KrakenAndLeviathan: Of the Leviathan variety.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The name should be a tip off.

[[folder:Carnictis]]

Giant, repulsive worms that live in the abyssal caverns of Skull Island.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Gigantic, abominable worms.

* EldritchAbomination: Not quite, but they certainly look the part.
* EyelessFace: Like most worms.
* LampreyMouth: Their faces are nothing more than this.
* {{Squick}}: Invoked all over the place. They're indisputably the most vile monstrosities Skull Island has to offer.

[[folder:Giant Wetas]]
!!Giant Wetas

Huge insects that attack in swarms.

The German captain of the Venture. Englehorn shows a dislike for Denham, presumably because of his obsessive nature.

* LastOfHisKind: It is implied that Kong is the last giant ape on Skull Island: the most telling evidence is a shot of him entering his cave and walking past multiple skeletons of giant gorillas.

* BeastAndBeauty: The Beast to Ann Beauty.

* [[Main/{{Badass}} Badass]]: Fights and defeats 3 ''V-Rex'' all by himself.

* TheWoobie

* [[Main/{{Jerkass}} Jerkass]]:
* PluckyComicRelief: When played by Jack Black.

* MsFanservice: By the end of her stay in Skull Island she simply wears a slip.

* EasilForgiven: One has to remember, although Kong ends up saving Ann from other horrors in the jungle, the fact of the matter is that he kidnapped her in the first place. Making things worse, as explicitly pointed out early into the jungle sequence, Kong was originally going to just kill Ann at the same point where he killed all of the other sacrifices; if it hadn't been for her quick thinking and the pursuit of the ship's crew, which eventually gave her an opening to "bond" with him, she'd have been dead in the jungle because of Kong, not despite him.

* LastOfHisKind

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite everything she went thru she only gets a few cuts on her face.

* LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: Ann gets kidnapped as she was getting ready for bed. Consequently, her shoes get left behind, and she spends the entire time in the jungle barefoot. By all accounts, her feet should've been ripped to shreds by the rough terrain, especially in the jungle itself.
