Two-Legged Lizard
|
The Two-Legged Lizard is a giant lizard Template:Kaiju that makes a brief appearance in the 1933 film King Kong.
Appearance
In its appearance in King Kong, the lizard somewhat resembles a skink with only forelegs. It only has two digits on each hand, like a chameleon or the two-toed Earless Skink native to Australia.
In its second appearance in Kong: The Animated Series, the lizard is more dragon-like and instead of having only forelegs, it only has hindlegs.
History
King Kong
After King Kong destroyed the log bridge and sent most of the Venture crew to their deaths in the chasm below, Jack Driscoll hid in a small crevice in the rock wall. Jack looked down and saw a giant two-legged lizard slowly scaling up a vine to his position. Jack quickly grabbed a dagger and cut the vine, sending the lizard plummeting into the chasm.

When De La Porta merged with the snake, they became a Two-Legged Lizard.
