Not a komodo, theres lots of big species of monitors that get in that size range. Hes a sumatran water, they get up to 9 or 10 feet, but not as heavily built as komodos. Theres probly ten othe species of water monitors, and then the blackthroats from africa get heavier but not as long, the croc monitors get the longest but stay skinny live in trees and have a long prehensile tail.
All monitors are venomous. Captive komodos are very intelligent and do get dog tame. They follow their owners around and beg for attention.
with that scenting tongue and brush-penetrating build you can't tell me they wouldn't hunt pheasants like a boss
