I'm strong, but am I 'can take on giant comodo dragons on' strong?
I wondered if I could take on the comodo dragon the drone scout lead me to. I want to make money and the most precious thing on it is its armor like hide, I don't want to ruin it using my sword. Actually, I doubt my sword can even damage it. Comodo dragons fight with teeth and claw during mating season to impress females. Looking at the claws of this thing I'm sure my sword would only be an annoyance.
So what now? Do I turn back or something?
No, I will fight it.
It goes against the Panzer tanz to back off.
I layed my sword down since its ten pounds of dead weight.
What even hunts comodo dragons?
Nothing really.
Wait, in nature there are always oddities. Like Gustav, a Nile crocodile that grew so big that it could hunt hippos. Or el neggro dominiuo ( look I used Google translate), a great white shark big enough to sink boats and proceeded to terrorise the Western coasts of Spain. There's also big boss, a black bear that survived being hit by a train and fathered 70% of the bear population in North Amerika.
All these mutated animals where apex predators, except the last one.

Goliath, a Goliath bullfrog that grew so big that in length he far surpasses humans. Now usually when a creature that is low on the food chain mutates its usually eaten since it uses old tactics on a new body since they're not as feared as the apex. But bullfrogs are the best embodiment of brute strength. They try to eat everything that does and doesn't fit in their mouths be it a cricket or a comodo dragon. Goliath was reported to effectively hunt comodo dragons, birds of prey, salmon, catfish, monkeys, other bullfrogs, snakes, crustaceans and even human leftovers were found in his mouth.
I walked out of the bushes and immediately got the attention of the reptilian beast. I crouched down compressing my legs as tight as possible.
"What are you waiting for? Aren't you hungry?"
I know dam well it's hungry, they always are.
It charged at me and cold sweat started to form on my forehead.

The glowing hot feeling in my legs disappeared disappeared, no, I'm just ignoring it.
The dragon kept coming closer as all the sound disappeared.
I couldn't hear the sound of my rapidly beating heart.
I couldn't taste the dirt that got in my mouth.
I couldn't see the ever expanding sky.
I couldn't feel the ground beneath me.
I couldn't smell my sweet running down my body.
I forgot myself, only the beast has my attention.
