Dragon-like Beast

The dragon-like beast was a massive creature used by the Crystalloids to guard the Rubberoid hostages at the Crystalloid Compound.

Superboy and Krypto approach the large prison complex, expecting to have to fight the large dragon-like monster, but Krypto ends up making friends with him instead.

Super Powers

 * Alien Physiology: The animal was not a native of planet Earth, and therefore it had an appearance and abilities that were foreign to most Earth creatures. However it shared similarities with dragons, both in appearance and in abilities...


 * Superhuman Strength: Its' size was vast, several times larger than a human; and no doubt much stronger.


 * Superhuman Durability: The creature was able to withstand getting shot by a sunball fired from the Crystalloid's artificial sun generator. It did appear to hurt the creature, but not kill it.


 * Flight: Like many dragons and dragon-like creatures, this beast was capable of flying. He flew playfully with Krypto when they first met.


 * Fire Breath: As a dragon-like creature, it's very likely this animal was capable of breathing fire. This was implied when smoke could be seen coming out of the creature's nose.

Abilities

 * Security: The creature was trained to guard the prison complex by the Crystalloids. When he met Krypto however, he quickly switched loyalties it seemed...so it's difficult to say how well the training was received by the dragon.
