Lurking the vast wastelands of Yucca Flats, a major nuclear test site in the state of Nevada, is The Beast of Yucca Flats. They are rarely seen as they live in a highly restricted area. However, every once in a while hunger drives one into more civilized areas in search of prey.
These gigantic creatures are mutated Gila Monster, a pebble hided venomous lizard found through the American south-west. They can reach a length of eighty feet and weigh between fifty and eighty thousand pounds (the same as two city buses). While gaining their gigantic size the creatures have lost their venom producing glands. This hardly matters as most prey items are killed from the force of their bite. Their hard scaled hide gives them good protection from damage. Their sharp and powerful claws are not used in combat, but for digging. A Beast of Yucca Flats can rip a hole a building or crush a vehicle with ease. They have poor eyesight, but their long forked tongues are excellent particle receptors, allowing them to track by scent.
Author is aware this monster is technically the one from The Giant Gila Monster (1959) and not the one depicted in The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961). You don’t need to email me.
