A number of science fiction, horror, and fantasy movies helped shape the ultimate look of King of the Monsters. For example, Dougherty reveals on the director's commentary that he went back to watch 1997's Starship Troopers for inspiration on how to make a giant bug frightening and expressive. To him, Paul Verhoeven's sardonic take on the seminal sci-fi novel by Robert A. Heinlein "nailed the giant bug genre." In the end, production added bioluminescence and a praying mantis-adjacent structure for the "Queen of the Monsters."
