usually, for example, komodo dragons have killed many people, but other species of monitor lizards like the desert monitor are commonly kept as pets and can't do much harm. in Asia people enjoy feeding the wild water monitors. So, overall yes, monitor lizards can harm people, but they can also help humanity

Do lizards bite humans?

Yes, most lizards bite. Some lizards squirt blood through their naked eye, whilst other lizards wave their tail to scare predators away. Yes, most lizards can bite as a weapon for self defense.

Some lizards give a warning before biting - if a lizard opens its mouth wide, swells and hisses at the same time, this is a warning that it may be about to bite.
