Their skin is covered by small green scales, and large spines grow out of their backs and throat pouches, similar to iguanas. They possess big monitor lizard-like heads, and their long mandibles are filled with small, curved teeth. The entry in Denham's sketchbook seen in King Kong: Skull Island Adventure suggests they may be amphibious.
