Sker Buffalo

The Sker Buffalo is a giant water buffalo creature that appears in the 2017 Legendary Pictures film, Kong: Skull Island.

Personality
Sker Buffaloes appear to be docile creatures, and never threaten the human characters in any way, unlike most of the other creatures on Skull Island. Even Kong appears to get along well with these creatures, as he is seen rescuing one that is pinned underneath a fallen helicopter, and appears visibly enraged upon seeing one killed by a Skullcrawler.

Origins
According to the Monarch superspecies report about the Sker Buffalo, it shares common ancestry with the Asian water buffalo. The Sker Buffalo has evolved many unusual traits, including the ability to remain submerged completely underwater for long periods of time. Its most unique adaptation is its florafaunal biology: the Sker Buffalo has incorporated plant life into its anatomy, and two chambers of its heart actually pump chlorophyll into the foliage growing from its back.

Kong: Skull Island
While wandering through the wilderness of Skull Island, some of the survivors of the Monarch expedition to the island witnessed a Sker Buffalo emerging from a lake. The creature approached the group, but James Conrad insisted they remain calm and not open fire on the animal. The Sker Buffalo stared at the humans for a few moments before turning around and walking away. Meanwhile, Kong came upon the corpse of a Sker Buffalo, which had just recently been killed by a Skullcrawler, which Kong promptly fought and killed along with another Skullcrawler that attacked him from behind. After hearing a strange noise, Mason Weaver wandered out of the Iwi village and found a Sker Buffalo pinned underneath a fallen helicopter. She tried to free the Buffalo from the wreckage, but could not lift the wreckage. Suddenly, the entire helicopter was pulled off the Buffalo, and Weaver stared up in shock to see Kong had rescued the smaller creature.

Amphibiousness
The Sker Buffalo is an amphibious creature, and can remain completely submerged underwater for several days at a time.

Camouflage
The coral-shaped surface of the Sker Buffalo's back allows it to blend in seamlessly with its surroundings.
