What about word of a certain three kaiju showing up in Skull Island's credits? Should we add them to the list?
We do know
Spoiler:
they will show up eventually if the old 2014 (was it 2014?) Comic-con announcement still holds true. So i'm not opposed to it being added as [TENTATIVE]

I have an intense, irrational fear of bugs, so I'm hoping to god Mother Longlegs is the only bug monster that shows up in these films. Aside from Mothra, of course. Kamacarus, or a Kamacarus knock-off, would be fine too. Mantises never bothered me for whatever reason.

There is the giant Log Insect and plus MAYBE the one river insectoid that has legs that mimic dead trees coming out of the water.

Plus the Mother Longlegs IMO might not even be a true spider, but a close relative.

Well regardless, I find it absolutely terrifying. And its little pinsers don't help either. Fuck that.

I can't blame you, Kumonga was stylized heavily and that hairy mouth still made it creepy. At least Mothra seems cuddly and guys like Battra & Megalon are so far removed from real bugs. Kamacuras is stylized enough to be cool and not creepy.

Mothra is probably the only reason why I'm not as scared of moths and butterflies than other insects.

Cockroaches and palmetto bugs... ugh. That said, I'm always open to more insect kaiju being added to this universe. They can be visually striking or, at the very least, provide some decent cannon fodder for other kaiju.

Honestly, I'd absolutely love for them to bring in Kamacuras. Son of Godzilla has always been one of my favorites ever since I was little kid, which is probably why I manage to actually not be afraid of mantises, so I've always wanted to see Kamacuras get utilised more.

Centipede kaiju. Try playing the video game based off the 2005 PJ King Kong with headphones on and you'll understand. That being said I do wish we'd get a scorpion monster in the Godzilla franchise, I know we had one in one of the children's books. Got my dragonfly kaiju and she was cool so whatever.

I actually had one spawn in thin air right in front of me and immediately attack after spawning in my playthrough. Scared the hell out of me.

Jeez really!? Im gonna check that out.

Keeps making me wish we got some sort of tie in game to K: SI. Kong 2005 was like the best tie in movie game ever.

I recall six year old me not being able to get through the movie because of the centipede scene.

What if Pterodactyl and Rokmutul were included in future films? How would they fit?
And what about Godzillasaurus? Maybe he evolved from Godzilla's species and his kind became smaller when the earth's radiation levels subsided.

Godzillasaurus I'd rather he be an ancestor to Godzilla's kind.

I'd agree with that as long as he wasnt a dinosaur, because dinosaurs weren't around for the Permian. The name would still work, though.

Indeed I mean we do have Basilosaurus despite being a whale. ;)
