Foetodon's History

Hollow Earth lizards are enormous reptilian superspecies in the MonsterVerse created by Legendary Pictures that first appeared in the 2021 film, Godzilla vs. Kong. One of the creatures would later make a brief appearance in the 2024 film, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, where it scavenges a kill from Kong.

Origins

The Hollow Earth lizards' origin are relatively unknown. However, they seemingly evolved within the Hollow Earth, growing to their substantial size due to the energy sustaining all species inside the Hollow Earth. In the artbook Godzilla vs. Kong: One Will Fall: The Art of the Ultimate Battle Royale, it is stated that the Hollow Earth Lizards were designed to resemble Godzilla, suggesting but not outright confirming a relation to the Titanus Gojira evolutionary lineage.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

After successfully hunting a pack of Wart Dogs, Kong sits on a cliffside to devour his kills but ends up breaking his upper left canine, revealing a tooth infection. Taking advantage, a Hollow Earth lizard attempts to drag away one of the Wart Dog carcasses but is discovered by Kong. The Hollow Earth lizard engaged into a brief tug-of-war match with the Great Ape over the carcass, until a roar similar to Kong's caught his attention and made let go of the carcass. The creature gave Kong a confused look before turning and running off with its new meal.
