In all of the fights we've seen him in, Kong is never shown once biting his opponent. This may be a small thing but it shows he's not willing to use especially dirty tactics even against hated enemies like the Skullcrawlers, preferring using improvised weapons or his raw strength to win. Very notable in his fight with Godzilla, as the Alpha Titan is more than willing to bite and claw at Kong at every turn, but he refuses to respond in kind, despite possessing giant teeth and a, no doubt, incredible bite-force. Conversely, it may be a subversion based on pragmatism. Given Kong's more humanoid in shape compared to his opponents, getting his head that close to an enemy is often an unnecessary risk when his limbs are powerful and versatile enough in most instances. In either case, it's a clear contrast to the more bestial titans. This is actually true in real life for gorillas (which Kong takes the most inspiration from), as they generally will do just about anything to avoid biting opponents - preferring to hit, drag, throw, or use improvised weapons - mainly because their pronounced teeth are for intimidation purposes only. In a blink and you'll miss it moment when Kong and Godzilla grapple underwater after the aircraft carrier is destroyed, he grabs Godzilla with both arms in a headlock and does bite at his gills. The king of monsters proceeds to use his superior arm strength to break Kong's headlock and push him into the sinking carrier by placing a hand on Kong's chest and pushing him off.
