The Skar King, also known as simply Skar, is the main antagonist of the 2024 monster film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the fifth main installment in Legendary Pictures‘ MonsterVerse franchise.
He is a vicious, ruthless, and tyrannical primate-like Titan who rules over a clan of Great Ape Titans with an iron fist. As such, he is personally responsible for the Great Titan War, as well as the deaths of countless other Titans in the process. He is one of Kong's archenemies and the main reason for Godzilla's initial hatred towards him.
No longer satisfied with simply having dominion over the Hollow Earth, the Skar King strikes out against the world by using his former lapdog and former minion, Shimo, a peaceful ice Titan whom he had enslaved, using a crystal to unleash destruction upon the surface world. Ultimately, the Skar King's reign of terror entirely ended when his plan to induce a second ice age upon Earth and wipe out the Titans and all of humanity was foiled by Godzilla and Kong, leading to his well-deserved death at the hands of the two Titans with assistance from a redeemed Shimo, allowing Kong to become the new leader of the Great Apes.
