Cooper and novelized by Delos Lovelace in 1932, and authorized by the Cooper family. </p><p>Created and illustrated by Joe DeVito, and novelized by Brad Strickland and DeVito, with John Michlig, <i>Kong: King of Skull Island</i> depicts a Skull Island far larger than originally thought. It is either the last vestige of a volatile volcanic series of islands or the remnant of a larger landmass. Skull Island is located in the Indian Ocean, west of <a href="/wiki/Sumatra" title="Sumatra">Sumatra</a>, and has several much smaller islands in various locations around its perimeter, with the most prevalent of these off a small peninsula on its southeastern corner. </p><p>Skull Island contains two main mountains, the larger being shaped in the visage of a human skull. Skull Mountain is riddled with caves and passageways carved out by natural erosion, but also man-made. In earlier times, these were often used by islanders to avoid the monsters on the surface, but proved to have a multitude of dangerous denizens of their own. These include previously unknown species such as snake-like amphibians with enormous heads capable of swallowing a human whole; foot-long creatures that combine squid and crustacean characteristics with bio-luminescent sails tipped with poisonous stingers; giant spiders with 7-foot bodies and 8-foot-long legs ending in hand-like appendages. </p><p>The human civilization that inhabits Skull Island at least through the 20th century is the last remnant of a previously unknown super-race called the Tagatu (a combination of two formerly separate tribes: the Tagu and the Atu). The original culture is believed to have Asian origins that bled into an island group west of Sumatra that no longer exists. As a result of a natural disaster, they were forced to migrate to Skull Island untold millennia ago. Drawn to its spectacular makeup by their insatiable curiosity, the Tagatu believed their mastery of biological and organic sciences could overcome Skull Island's dangers. It was they who originally brought the gigantic simian Kongs there for protection and who, with the help of the Kongs, built the iconic wall across the Skull Island's peninsula for protections against Skull Island's prehistoric denizens. </p><p>Among the many mysteries revealed in the work is the reality that on Skull Island the dinosaurs never died out, but continued to evolve over the intervening 65 million years. This has resulted in strange variations on previously known species, as well as many new ones. Chief among the latter is a race of sentient dinosaurs, called Deathrunners. Bipedal, extremely aggressive and 6 to 9 feet tall, they once ruled the island and were at war with the Tagatu and the Kongs. Their race is propagated every few generations by one queen that grows to gigantic size. It is one of these, called "Gaw", that ruled Skull Island when King Kong was born and who Kong had to defeat in order to become a king. </p><p>In the story, Carl Denham's son Vincent (now a paleontologist) and an older Jack Driscoll return to Skull Island in 1957 to discover pieces of the earlier civilization's history and relationship to the island through an enigmatic Tagatu elder simply called the "Storyteller" as well as in the form of archaeological discoveries such as specially pigmented paintings in underground passageways that move when illuminated by torchlight to reveal past events on Skull Island. Primary among these is the discovery of remnants of "the Old City", which was established by the Tagatu at the zenith of their civilization in the center of the island in an ideal valley between the two mountains. The Storyteller's tale, along with Vincent and Driscoll's findings, suggest that the eerie skull visage that gave the island its name may have been the work of human hands. These and other discoveries hint that the true extent of Skull Island's secrets have yet to be revealed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2005_remake">2005 remake</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Skull_Island_(King_Kong)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 2005 remake"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Peter Jackson's remake, Skull Island's position west of <a href="/wiki/Sumatra" title="Sumatra">Sumatra</a> remains the same, in a region afflicted by magnetic anomalies and violent sea storms. According to the book <i><a href="/wiki/The_World_of_Kong:_A_Natural_History_of_Skull_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island">The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island</a></i>, Skull Island was geologically unstable and has been slowly sinking into the sea for the past thousand years. By 1933, the island was on the verge of destruction. Fifteen years after its discovery to the modern world, Skull Island finally sank into the ocean. </p><p>In its prehistory, Skull Island was a refuge for a variety of prehistoric creatures. Over time, more and more species arrived either by swimming, flying, rafting, or migrating through temporary <a href="/wiki/Land_bridge" title="Land bridge">land bridges</a>. As the island slowly receded into the sea, life was forced to adapt, resulting in an ecosystem of bizarre and nightmarish creatures. </p><p>Three thousand years before, an advanced civilization from <a href="/wiki/Southeast_Asia" title="Southeast Asia">Southeast Asia</a> migrated to Skull Island, bringing with them domesticated animals such as <a href="/wiki/Gaur" title="Gaur">Gaur</a> and the giant ancestors of Kong.
