Idolon venefaucus (meaning "venomous-maw apparition") is a 20-24 inches long (50.8-61 centimeters) species of Idolon.
Facts[]
Idolon venefaucus was an ambusher, hiding amid dense leaves and vines to pounce on prey such as insects, spiders or lizards. The predator's dull gray coloring helped them blend into the shadows, hiding them from both prey and predators alike.
The centipede-eating Skull Island Hornbill was the only one immune to their venom and was able to eat them without harming itself.
Trivia[]
- Like all animals from Skull Island. It is unknown what they faced during the sinking of the island. Given the multiple expeditions, there may be a chance that a few surviving populations was saved off-land to a more stable enclosure.
