Powers and Abilities: Peak Human Physical Characteristics, Natural Weaponry (Teeth[2][6][5][7] and claws[5]), Poison Manipulation,[2][8][9][3] Stealth Mastery,[2][5][10][7] Durability Negation,[8][9][5][5][3] Enhanced Smell,[11] Paralysis Inducement[9][5][7][3]
Attack Potency: Street level (Has robust bodies with thick muscular legs.[3] Even half grown juveniles can severely injure large dogs[3] and effortlessly maul physically fit adult humans[10]. Can knock down large deer, water buffalo & wild boar with their tails,[3][7] which are as long as their body.[6][3] Can swallow prey up to the size of a goat & kill wild boar, pigs, horses, goats, deer, & water buffalo.[2][6][5] Can ram the carcass it's trying to swallow against a tree and occasionally knock the tree down.[Note 1][5] It takes five healthy adult men to subdue[12] an adult Komodo dragon; Dr. Brady Barr, a world renowned herpetologist who has tremendous experience in tackling giant crocodiles and giant constrictor snakes, described komodo dragons as being far stronger than crocodiles of similar weight.[12][Note 2]), higher via piercing damage (They have relatively weak jaws but their razor sharp teeth and claws can slice into all sorts of tough animal hides.[2][8][9][5][10] Has 60 teeth that are 1 inch (2.5 cm) long[6][3]). Its poison negates durability[8][9][5]

Lifting Strength: Likely Peak Human (Can drag around the carcass of a Javan Rusa deer. Can match the pulling strength of four or five healthy adult men.[12])
Striking Strength: Street level (They regularly fight against and harm each other.[5] Even half grown juveniles can knock over a man and badly maul them)
Durability: Street level (Dr. Brady Barr has described their hide as being like chain-mail armour and extremely tough. This is due to the osteoderms that are on their skin.[6] They regularly fight against each other and walk away with injuries that are not life threatening[2][5] & can take kicks to the neck.[10]),
Stamina: Below Average (Sprints in short bursts of speed can leave them drained,[5] though can swim long distances between islands[3])
Range: Standard Melee Range.[2][5][10][7][3]
Standard Equipment: None notable.
Intelligence: Animalistic
Standard Tactics: Frequently ambushes live prey; when desired prey is near their ambush site, they'll charge the animal at high speeds & will aim for the throat & underside.[5] Komodo Dragons kill prey using a combination of piercing wounds, shock, blood loss & poison[Note 3]. If the Komodo Dragon is unsuccessful in it's ambush but has injured it's prey, they will follow their prey until their prey dies from sepsis.[2][5] Is implied to usually strike with their jaws.[2][5][10][7][3]
Weaknesses: The only areas that aren't reinforced by their chainmail-like hide are around their eyes, nostrils, pineal eye & mouth margins.[6]
