Description[]
Death Jackals are a reptilian breed of kaiju native to Skull Island. In terms of visual biography, they are similar to velociraptors and stand anywhere between 6-12 feet in height. They have four legs, sharp claws on each leg, a long tail, and make a barking noise that sounds like "Rouk".
History[]
In 1995, an expedition to Skull Island led by Aaron Brooks encountered a pack of Death Jackals. One jackal lunged at survivalist Helen Karsten, killing her instantly. Evgenij Medov was also injured in the attack, forcing the others to retreat to a cave. [1]
