From the Book of Revelation (11:19 - 12:6): "Then God’s temple in heaven opened and in the temple could be seen the Ark of the Covenant. There were flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, an earthquake and a violent hailstorm. A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Because she was with child, she wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky: it was a huge dragon, flaming red, with seven heads and ten horns; on his heads were seven diadems. His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, ready to devour her child when it should be born.

The reptiles, renowned for their intelligence, are native to Indonesia. They are the world's largest lizards and have no natural predators -- making them on par with sharks and lions at the pinnacle of the animal kingdom.
And my head's going all whippy whippy whippy and I daresay someone could make something of this better than I could, especially considering that I have ENDGAME on the brain and no time for anything else...
