Released in the present day, Ghidorah cheerfully kills several humans before and during a fight with [[Characters/MonsterVerseGodzilla Godzilla]], displaying a [[AxCrazy simplistic thirst for blood]] that clashes horribly with the natural animal instincts that motivate the terrestrial kaiju. After the apparent death of Godzilla, Ghidorah uses his powers to enslave the remaining kaiju of Earth, forcibly awakening them and commanding them to [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out all life on the planet]]. When Madison Russell uses a device called the ORCA to disrupt his plans, Ghidorah attempts to kill her in cold blood simply because he can. After being converted into [[Characters/MonsterVerseMechagodzilla Mechagodzilla]] by [[Characters/MonsterVerseApexCybernetics Apex Cybernetics]], Ghidorah promptly corrupts Mechagodzilla's AI, slaughters the ones who brought him back, and resumes his rampage, his sadistic tendencies shown in how he targets Godzilla and wipes out swathes of Hong Kong while laughing about it. A [[SatanicArchetype sinister analogue to the Devil]] opposite the benevolent God-like Godzilla, King Ghidorah is just as wicked here as he was at the start of his movie career.

It's revealed he was the one who created the Oxygen Destroyer in an attempt to kill Godzilla. Simmons bribed his way out of accountability for the resulting disaster, and when Sara Hayes tries to reveal Apex's involvement, Simmons had her assassinated. Simmons masterminds the creation of Mechagodzilla, intending to use it to kill and usurp Godzilla as Alpha, killing the Titans they can't enslave, testing it by having it slaughter Skullcrawlers that Apex are breeding. When the test for Mechagodzilla's signal results in Godzilla going on a rampage in Pensacola, Simmons sees this as a stepping stone to turn the world against Godzilla. Simmons then deliberately engineers Godzilla's rampage in Hong Kong, putting millions of innocents on Godzilla's warpath. During Godzilla's rampage, Simmons looks on in excitement, admitting he's counting on Godzilla destroying much of the city so that Apex can be "[[EngineeredHeroics saviors]]" when they set Mechagodzilla loose.

** Film: [[TheCaligula The Skar King]] is an {{ancient|Evil}} Great Ape Titan [[TheWarlord warlord]] who, untold millennia ago, led his tribe in an attempt to conquer the Surface World, but was imprisoned in a lower layer of the Hollow Earth by Godzilla. Confining his tribe to a volcanic wasteland and ruling through pain and suffering for generations, the Skar King killed those who dared to defy him; [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil gathered a harem of terrorized females to father his children]]; and enslaved the cryogenic reptilian Titan Shimo through torture with the intent of using her to cause [[GlacialApocalypse another Ice Age]]. When he discovered humans from the surface had entered the Hollow Earth, the Skar King slaughtered Monarch's Outpost and led his army in an attempted conquest. Upon reaching the surface with Shimo, he nearly succeeded in accomplishing his goals but was killed by the combined efforts of [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingKong Kong]], Godzilla, the young ape Suko--implied to be the Skar King's own son--and [[TheDogBitesBack a liberated Shimo]].
** Greg Keyes's {{Novelization}}: [[TheSocialDarwinist The Skar King]] is an {{ancient|Evil}} Great Ape [[TheWarlord warlord]] who [[TheCorrupter corrupted his once-peaceful tribe]] and waged war against Godzilla and his allies in an attempt to conquer the Surface World. Defeated and imprisoned in a lower layer of the Hollow Earth--inspiring various myths of evil gods being imprisoned--[[TheCaligula the Skar King]] confined his tribe to a volcanic wasteland; ruled for generations through suffering and fear; took the tribe's females as [[BreedingSlave his personal harem]]; imposed a mentality on his tribe where [[TheSocialDarwinist only the most cruel and vicious Great Apes were deemed fit for survival]]; and brutally killed any who dared to defy or fail him. Enslaving and torturing the prehistoric cryogenic Titan called Shimo, the Skar King plotted to use her [[OmnicidalManiac to wipe out all life on the surface]] by causing [[GlacialApocalypse a new Ice Age]], while lying to his followers that they would rule together once his conquest was complete. When Suko--[[ArchnemesisDad one of his sons]]--betrayed him to rescue Kong, the Skar King ordered his Red-Stripe enforcers to capture them to be executed; even attempting to [[OffingTheOffspring kill Suko himself]] before being defeated by the combined efforts of Kong and Godzilla, frozen solid by [[TheDogBitesBack a liberated Shimo]], and smashed to pieces.

* ''Film/GodzillaVsKong: The Official Movie {{Novelization}}'', by Greg Keyes: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Walter Simmons]], CEO of [[Characters/MonsterVerseApexCybernetics Apex Cybernetics]], is [[AdaptationalVillainy notably worse]] than his film counterpart. When [[Characters/MonsterVerseGodzilla Godzilla]] was first revealed to the world, Simmons, aggravated that humanity wasn't the dominant species on Earth, sought to take that title back, with his corporate empire on top. It's revealed he was the one who created the Oxygen Destroyer in an attempt to kill Godzilla. Simmons bribed his way out of accountability for the resulting disaster, and when Sara Hayes tries to reveal Apex's involvement, Simmons had her assassinated. Simmons masterminds the creation of [[Characters/MonsterVerseMechagodzilla Mechagodzilla]], intending to use it to kill and usurp Godzilla as Alpha, killing the Titans they can't enslave, testing it by having it slaughter Skullcrawlers that Apex are breeding. When the test for Mechagodzilla's signal results in Godzilla going on a rampage in Pensacola, Simmons sees this as a stepping stone to turn the world against Godzilla. Simmons then deliberately engineers Godzilla's rampage in Hong Kong, putting millions of innocents on Godzilla's warpath. During Godzilla's rampage, Simmons looks on in excitement, admitting he's counting on Godzilla destroying much of the city so that Apex can be "[[EngineeredHeroics saviors]]" when they set Mechagodzilla loose.
