Giant Lizard

The Giant Lizard is an animal Monsters kept in the Facility. It is not listed on the Whiteboard, nor is it seen during the Purge.

Physical Description and Attributes


It appears to be a normal-looking lizard, but of abnormal size. It may possibly be an iguana because the lizard at the bottom its neck there is a flap of feathers like a dinosaur, like a dewlap. The reasoning for the Facility to keep this creature is unknown, but it could be for its enormous size and possible preying on and hunting humans and animals since it is large enough to do so.

Because of its enormous size, its possible this lizard either; is some sort of mutant, is a new reptilian-like species, or has ignored Natural Selection and surpassed evolution, continuing to grow far beyond its expected rate, making it now a predator rather than prey.

The item that summons the Giant Lizard is unknown, but it's possible it could be Lizard skin.

Appearances
It is not seen during the Purge. However, it can be seen in its Cube Cell, on the upper-left of the Hunter.

Inspiration
While it is unknown what inspired this monster, but early science fiction films often used ordinary lizards as monsters. They would be projected onto screens alongside actors and visually enlarged to give the impression that they had somehow grown to impossible sizes, usually through radiation or some similar unlikely contrivance. It is possibly a reference to the 1959 movie Attack of The Giant Gila Monster, the 1953 movie The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms or the 2012 movie ''Gila! and katie mitchell's film penguins of camp creteacous''
