Skar King was introduced as the main antagonist of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in 2024, an ancient orangutan-like Titan who enslaved other apes in the Hollow Earth and controlled Shimo with a crystal. Unlike Kong, he was designed as a cruel, wiry tyrant, and his sharper, screeching roar helped sell that difference. Short roar clips from trailers and the film were quickly ripped to soundboards as standalone effects, with alternate cuts labelled as version two, and are now reused far beyond MonsterVerse edits as generic monster intimidation sounds.
