Ecology: Draco was a large lizard that lived in the heights of Skull Island. Gliding from crag to crag on large winglike vanes that spread from its sides, the small, brightly-colored Draco was a common sight. At times, the rocky cliffs were covered with tiny Draco young.

Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.

Powers/Tactics: Draco catch insects and birds above the jungle canopy, swooping out from their perches on the cliffs above the jungle to seize prey in mid-flight. When threatened by predators (or during mating season, to intimidate rival males) Draco will flash their gliding vanes in a startling manner. The wing flashing is designed to buy the Draco enough time to leap up and glide away from danger.

Appearance: An orange-brown lizard from 9 to 12 inches long, Draco is distinguished by the presence of large vanes that grow from its sides. The vanes have are translucent, with black barred stripes running out from the lizard's body to the edge.

Designer's Notes: The Draco was based off of the Eagle character sheet in the HERO System Bestiary, modified somewhat for lizard characteristics. I don't think they appeared in the film, though it's possible they were depicted high in the sky in some jungle shots.
