Komodo Dragon

The world’s largest lizard (up to 3 meters long) only needs one bite to infect its prey, and then it will stalk it – patiently, cold-bloodedly – until it keels over; and yes, if no living prey is available, it will gladly dig up human graves…

The Komodo dragon is the closest thing to a dinosaur that we have today on Earth, and to the “epic fantasy” wicked dragons. Its teeth are covered in bleeding tissue, its mouth copiously bleeds every time it feeds, drooling venomous saliva and flicking its long yellow forked tongue.
