# 5 The Purple Platasauragus

The crazy looking monster to the right is actually the rare and deadly Platasauragus. In their natural habitat in the galapagos islands, they are a dominant species.  There are less than one hundred platasauraguses in the tropical region, but their deadly breath and poisonous spikes make them a serious threat and predator.  The Platasauragus's prey ranges from the smallest of the island birds to as big as a chimpanzee.  Although the strange species is somewhat friendly looking, they are a force to be reckoned with.  Their attacks usually involve hiding out until the prey returns.  The creatures tend to paralyze their prey and then breath on them to finish off the job.  This typically happens in the evening because Platasauraguses are nocturnal.  They also hibernate in the months of December and January.  Why haven't these creatures taken over the world? Well, they are hunted by many fierce tigers and vicious oagers within the jungle.  The monsterous species remains near the top of the food chain in the jungle.
