Terrible species of "walking lizard" are found in the unexplored southern jungles of Sothoryos, known as the Green Hell. They are apparently so-called for having an upright posture (walking on their hind pair of legs, like flightless birds). They run down their prey, then rip them apart with scythe-like claws on their hind legs.[1]

These walking lizards have been confirmed to be more than mere legend or traveler's tales, as Syrio Forel describes seeing rare live specimens kept in the exotic animal menagerie of the Sealord of Braavos.[2]

Quotes

Hear me. The ships of Braavos sail as far as the winds blow, to lands strange and wonderful, and when they return, their captains fetch queer animals to the Sealord's menagerie. Such animals as you have never seen, striped horses, great spotted things with necks as long as stilts, hairy mouse-pigs as big as cows, stinging manticores, tigers that carry their cubs in a pouch, terrible walking lizards with scythes for claws. Syrio Forel has seen these things.[2]
