Two-Legged Lizard
|
The Two-Legged Lizard is a giant lizard kaiju that makes a brief appearance in the 1933 film King Kong.
Appearance
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.
The two-legged lizard in Kong: The Animated Series is more dragon-like in appearance and only has hind legs instead of only having forelegs.
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.
Kong: The Animated Series
Dark Forces Rising
In the fourth episode of Kong: The Animated Series, titled Dark Forces Rising, Ramone De La Porta uses his Cyber-Link Computer to merge with a boa constrictor that was attacking Kong in order to gain an advantage while fighting him. When De La Porta merged with the snake, they became a Two-Legged Lizard.
