Trikonicorns, also known as Quercium tricerati, are arboreal florafauna superspecies created by Legendary Pictures that first appeared in the Kong: Skull Island Cinematic Adventure game. They are sub-divided plant organisms sprouted from a parent organism known as a Trikon, a massive species of tree found on Skull Island.

The wood of the Trikon has carbon microstructures that make it exceptionally strong, durable, and hard. For this reason, the wood is revered by the native Iwi. However, harvesting a Trikon is a matter of grave consideration, for these long-lived and sacred trees are also among the rarest and slowest to reproduce. Each tree produces only three very special seed pods, called Trikonicorns, every twenty years.
Trikonicorns are semi-sentient florafauna that are roughly the size of a tour bus when fully matured. They have an elongated body (which contains a massive seed) coated in overlapping acorn-colored plates, and a "head" capped with a plow-like plate and three horn-like protuberances. Trikonicorns emerge from special meristematic points on the upper branches of the Trikon and hang, looking somewhat like gigantic chrysalises, as they mature.
In their twentieth year, the Trikonicorns fall to the ground. Like some other trees, Trikons are allelopathic and exude chemicals that prevent other trees from growing nearby. However, like a slap on a newborn baby’s bottom, these chemicals jolt the Trikonicorns to life and they begin to undulate like worms. They smash, plow, and burrow away from the parent tree like giant, rampaging moles, leaving a swath of destruction in their wake. During this time, they can be extremely dangerous and will attack anything they perceive as impeding or endangering their search for a new rooting ground.
Once it is sufficiently far from the parent tree, a Trikonicorn burrows into its final resting place and dies. Its body decomposes, providing fertilizer for the seed within to sprout and grow. However, the iron-hard head plate remains, looking remarkably like a skull. Petrified examples have even been mistaken for a subspecies of the dinosaur Triceratops.
