History[]
In 1995, a Monarch expedition led by Aaron Brooks encountered a pack of Psychovultures when they arrived on Skull Island. The Psychovultures attacked their V-22 Osprey aircraft, causing it to go down. Swarming around the plane, they were able to incapacitate it by emitting an electrical discharge from their mouths.
