Godzilla X Kong - Creatures

In “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire”, the lost kingdom of the Hollow Earth comes alive with flora, fauna, and of course the mighty Titans.

Our design studio worked with the “Godzilla X Kong” VFX team (including Tom Elder-Groebe and Alessandro Ongaro, and WētāFX) to populate this mythical and fantastical world. It was an exciting journey for us to help this forgotten paradise to feel diverse, dense and hostile. The sinister ‘lake monster’; the strange ‘parrot frogs’; the kaleidoscopic flying bug-like mammals; the human-sized grubs and carnivorous tree; the sloth-like ‘wartdogs’; this cornucopia of creatures needed to rule every corner of the water, land and sky.

We were also tasked with creating the ‘Vertacene’, a completely new creature with extraordinary lightning powers, that could not look like any other known flying animals. The team considered how the ‘Vertacene’ might move and attack ; and how to visualise the defensive biology of such a unique and docile creature.
