Powers Talkback: Whiplash Tongue & Contricting Body

Post by BlankAccount »

Whiplash Tongue: Like a chameleon or frog, the Skullcrawler was able to stretch it's tongue out a considerable distance, pulling in potential prey to devour it. While effective against against small targets it could also be used on much larger prey to restrain their limbs as the Skullcrawler goes to finish them off with it's claws. But it is a risk-reward balancing act, as intelligent monsters such as King Kong will pull on it to rip out vital organs, effectively killing the Skullcrawler.

Constricting Body: Due to their snake like bodies, the creatures, much like Manda were able to restrain enemies with their tails while finishing them off with their mouth and claws. Even more impressive the largest Skullcrawler was able to use it's tail, in conjuncture with his and Kong's momentum in their fight, to throw Kong not only off of him but several distances away while he got back on his feet. The Skullcrawlers have the intelligence to not only restrain their enemy but also throw them.

I thought the chameleon tongue thing was really cool. Obviously it can backfire as we've seen, but against smaller or flying opponents it would be sweet. Same with constricting, if they could latch on to a mobile enemy it'd be game over. Really, Kong was just a horribly poor matchup for Ramarak. A huge, hulking melee brute seems like the worst possible type of opponent for skullcrawlers. And he still gave him a hell of a fight. He probably could have put a serious beat down on Mothra or Rodan or some similar more fragile kaiju. Yank them out of the sky with the tongue thing then constrict and break their wings and its over.
