Covered in armored scales, and have serrated teeth with a thin fleshy covering that bleeds while the dragon is feeding; this is apparently normal and definitely metal AF. Though it will also feed on carrion, the Komodo dragon is an apex predator and can take down large animals. Although they have been known to become acclimated enough to humans to behave reasonably tame, they can still be unpredictably aggressive and are fully capable of wrecking your shit.
