The Dragon Basilisk, a rare species, allegedly secretes a chemical compound that ignites upon contact with the air.

Stories from indigenous tribes recount sightings of the lizard expelling small bursts of flame while basking in the sun.

Scientists remain skeptical, but unverified footage shows a mysterious glow emanating from the creature’s throat before it vanishes into dense vegetation.

Some researchers speculate that its supposed ‘fire breath’ is an illusion caused by bioluminescent bacteria living on its skin.

Expeditions have attempted to capture a live specimen, but every recorded encounter ends with the lizard disappearing without a trace.

Despite no concrete evidence, believers claim that deep within the rainforest, the Dragon Basilisk continues to evade scientific discovery.
