What is the difference between a komodo dragon and a hela monster?

healamonsters come from st America /Mexico and are venamous. Comodo dragons come from Indonesia and arn't venamous Wow, whoever wrote the original comment is a moron and needs to learn to spell. Komodo Dragon's and Gila Monsters (proper spelling for both) are different in numerous ways, but their toxicity is not an example of such. Komodo Dragon's are infact venomous, the venom glands are (If I'm not mistaken) located in the bottom jaws and are not injected through their teeth or fangs, but through grooves in between the teeth. The venom acts as an anticoagulant and often allows the animal to bleed to death from the bite. In addition, Monitor's have significantly longer and thinner tails, generally have longer and pointier snouts, long sharp claws for digging, and strong muscular throats. Most species are also significantly larger than Gila Monsters. A Komodo Dragon is a Monitor Lizard, so it possesses these qualities as well as a rather gray or olive coloration as opposed to the Gila Monster's more black appearance. Hope this helps!
