Wart Dog

Wart Dog's History

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Kong lures a pack of Wart Dogs in the Hollow Earth into traps that he crafted with boulders and logs. When Kong is cornered, he triggers the trap, killing several Wart Dogs in the process. Undeterred, the surviving pack members continue to close in on the Great Ape. In a display of power, Kong grabs a Wart Dog carcass and tears it in half over his head, letting its green blood and innards spill out over him. Frightened by this display, the surviving Wart Dogs flee the area.

Later, Kong drags two Wart Dog carcasses back to his lair and settles down to eat them. As he takes a bite, one of his canine teeth chips off, revealing a tooth infection. As Kong ponders over the pain in his mouth, a Hollow Earth Lizard sneaks into the lair and attempts to scavenge one of the Wart Dog carcasses. Kong initially fights with the lizard over the carcass but decides to give it up after hearing what appeared to be another Great Ape roaring in the distance. Intrigued, he follows the sound as the Hollow Earth Lizard escapes with the Wart Dog carcass.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - The Official Movie Novelization

In the film's novelization, it is revealed that Ilene Andrews and her adoptive daughter Jia moved out of the Hollow Earth sometime before the events of the film due to a Wart Dog attack that left two Monarch agents dead and required Kong to step in. Later, as Kong and Suko flee the Skar King's stronghold, a group of Wart Dogs take notice of Suko, but do not attack the juvenile ape out of a fear of Kong.

MonsterVerse Declassified

Somewhere in the Hollow Earth, a lone Wart Dog chases after a gigantic Leafwing, but finds itself in conflict with a Hollow Earth lizard known as "Doug". The Wart Dog then breaks off from its chase with the Leafwing and chases the lizard along the rim of a massive volcanic pit. As the Wart Dog lunges at the lizard, "Doug" is distracted by the appearance of a large dragonfly and chases after the oversized insect, inadvertently dodging the Wart Dog's attack in the process. Missing its quarry completely, the Wart Dog accidently leaps into the volcanic pit where it attempts to catch its footing and slow its descent, but ultimately falls into the lava to its fiery death.
