Komodo the Lizard King is the first book in Series 6, The Amulet of Avantia. This Beast is a colossal, powerful reptile, possessing the might and ferocity of a dominant lizard, whose dark magic allows him to command other reptiles, use poisonous venom, or withstand extreme heat. Tom’s quest takes him to a harsh, arid environment, perhaps a desert or volcanic plain, where the Beast is the undisputed sovereign. As the first Beast in the series, defeating Komodo is crucial, as his defeat usually yields the first piece of a powerful, multi-part magical artifact, the Amulet of Avantia. The challenge lies in overcoming Komodo's raw, primal power and his highly toxic, defensive abilities.
