This category includes fairly large, carnivorous lizards from 3 to 5 feet long.
===Combat===
Monitor lizards can be aggressive, using their powerful jaws to tear at prey or enemies.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A monitor lizard has a +8 racial bonus on any [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. Monitor lizards have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks. *In forested or overgrown areas, the [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] bonus improves to +8.
