They are incredibly venomous. Their venom is highly poisonous and enough to kill animals in a few hours, and humans within seconds. Their venom rapidly decreases blood pressure, expedites blood loss, and sends a victim into shock, rendering it too weak to fight.

As strong as they are, they are capable of killing buffalos.

An average human can't outrun a Komodo dragon, even if the lizard looks slow and like it is hard for it to move. They can run around 20 km per hour, and an average human can run 10 to 13 km per hour.

Their skin is very hard- with many claim, that it is impenetrable by bullets.
