These new threats are Shimu, a titan that has slept for centuries, known as the strongest on the planet, the first titan to set foot on Earth, the original and first King of Monsters. And Skar King or Red Kong, an ancient beast King of the Hollow Earth who rivaled Kong's ancestors from Skull Island.
