What the hell, man? :/ It would be one thing if it was just some super obscure creature but Arachnocidis is the big bad of the spider-pit sequence and has enormous historical importance and is something people spend the better part of their lives searching for. You can't just tell me 12 years later that the name I've been using since I was still in high school is being replaced by "Mother Longlegs," which is, by the way, an awful name. But the spider-crab from the spider-pit scene was apart of that (as was the pig-lizard) and its been named Arachnocidis for 12 years now. A name for the dragon from Son of Kong would be even better but you take what you can get. Woah woah woah hold on you don't get to RENAME the monsters, what the hell? World of Kong covered every monster from the original film except the cave serpent and the linnorm, and now they gave the linnorm a name in this one, and that's pretty great.

Kudos, however, to a franchise film that doesn’t go to agonising lengths to set up its sequel, outside of a crossover-teasing post-credits scene.
