Actual Dragon

The Actual Dragon (Draconem verum) is a South Asian reptile that is actually, scientifically, a dragon. All attempts by skeptics to prove that it is not a dragon have failed. It is, logically, empirically, scientifically, and mythologically a dragon. It is descended from monitor lizards in the genus Varanus, but, some 20-30 million years ago, broke off and became a dragon.

Status as Dragon
All reptilologists, mythologists, and laypeople agree that it is a dragon. Most major dictionaries, under dragon, list: "3. n. A species of reptile native to South Asia; the Draconem verum"

Misconceptions
People regularly mistake the Actual Dragon with the non-pseudo Komodo Dragon. The Komodo Dragon's name is a misnomer, as it is simply a self-aggrandized lizard.

Real?
The Actual Dragon is, in fact, a true pseudanimal. Many believe that it is a mythical pseudanimal, not confirmed to not exist. However, it clearly does not exist, rendering dragons, as a whole, as pseudo-mythical pseudo-pseudanimals.
