Description

The Great Banded Skull-Crawler:

The Great Banded Skull-Crawler is among the largest beasts that grow among Skull Island’s unique Bio-fauna. It has several large bands of black stripes along its forearms and smaller ones on the side of its spinal-vertebra.

This signals it to be one of the largest Skull-Crawler species. Surprisingly, Skull-Crawlers are not reptiles, but instead are a type of massive “Caecilian” – a species of rare legless amphibians.

With the Skull-Crawlers, they are related to a two-legged class of southern-American amphibians called “Sirens”.

Among Skull Island however, the creature has evolved to massive size – this is in-prompt-to competition from other animals that feature immense gigantism, such the island’s Spiders, Bats, Birds, Insects and Apes.

The giant Mega-Octopi that inhabit Skull Island’s streams are natural predators to younger Skull-Crawlers unwary enough to be caught near the riverbed.

Skull-Crawlers live a rather cryptic life, with their younger years spent underground, much like their tiny Caecilian cousins.

But they will leave their steamy burrows and caves to take territories near waterways once they reach larger size. Still, many fall victim to huge mega-predators such as giant Kumonga-Spiders and overly-territorial Mega-Apes.

Skull-Crawlers have several rows of in-turned-needle-like teeth and sport a sticky tongue that can be shot outward like their frog relatives.

This helps them capture prey that might be too agile or evading for other predators on the island.

As of yet, no one knows how large these gigantic Olms can grow, but it is said some Skull-Crawlers have been sighted that are the length of three school buses!
