Monitor Lizards (also known as “Komodo lizards,” though none can remember why) are aggressive carnivores found in warm regions. Their colouration tends toward dark grey and black and they have longer snouts and longer, sharper teeth than other types of giant lizards. Monitor lizards move slowly but can lunge rather suddenly, surprising their prey on a 1d4. On a hit of 20, in addition to the damage the attack causes, the monitor has seized its opponent in its toothy maw and the unfortunate victim is subjected to an automatic attack the following round.

Treasure: In lair: 4d6 cp (90%), 3d6 sp (80%), 3d6 ep (70%), 2d6 gp (60%), 1d6 pp (50%), 2d6 gems (40%), 1d2 magic items (10%)
