Monitor lizards are generally dark in color, but often have bright, colorful, lace-like patterns covering their skin. A monitor may rise up onto its hind legs to run at a rate of 60 feet per round; such movement must be in a straight line, ending with the creature on all fours again. However, unlike a "double move" running movement, the monitor may still attack after moving.
Large monitor lizards range from 4 to 7 feet in length, and include such creatures as the so-called Komodo Dragon.
All monitors are carnivores who hunt by running down their prey, and anything smaller than a monitor is considered prey.
