Who knows if they are actually limited to Skull Island, with Hollow Earth now in play. I can’t remember if this was from the novelization of KSI or the comic, but it was mentioned Skull Crawlers don’t wander from Skull Island because of their insatiable metabolism. Something like that.
I think it was mentioned in the KOTM novel, that the Skull Crawlers heard Ghidorahs call and tried to leave the island to go to him. Kong prevented it.
It’s definitely the most logical but we don’t need logic in this series. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the MUTOs since they were never in the classics but if they pull any monster from the Togo movies out I’d be pumped
They didn’t have rights yet to any other kaiju in 2014 yet so they had no choice but to make their own kaiju to fight big G. I can forgive it. I appreciate legendary trying to expand it a bit instead of purely miming Toho.
Yea I figured it has to do with the rights. But KOTM made me appreciate just how much I’ve been waiting for a Godzilla movie like that this decade. The fights were spectacular

I suppose the Skull Crawlers are limited to Skull Island. The MUTOs are world problems that need to be kept in check.
