Noxmuscus furvus ("black night-fly") is a snail-eating insect found on Skull Island. It is described in the book "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island" (2005). They were around 5 centimeters in length.
Facts[]
Noxmuscus were predators that chose to prey primarily on the Sap Snails of Skull Island, which fed, as their name suggests, on tree sap. The Noxmuscus had developed strong, flat proboscis to pry the snails from trees and to allow them to drop to the jungle floor, where they would jab it into the soft flesh and drink the snail's insides.
In the Film[]
While running away from Kong, Ann Darrow was stung on her shoulder by a Noxmuscus.

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.
