The Komodo is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Komodos are small, jolly, bipedal dinosaur-like dragons with orange scales. They have a tiny pair of arms and red spines that run from the top of their heads to the ends of their long tails. It isn't particularly dangerous, only posing a threat when backed up by a pack. Although the komodos have yet to reappear in the main series, they are a mainstay in the Monsters series of games.
