The claws are not going to do much in the way of damage considering the lizards thick osteoderms, honestly the lizard is more likely to do damage with its claws and its not even that likely to use them. Bite force's significance in matches is often very overvalued. Well sun bear claws can tear up trees, though yes they arent likely going to be the main threat to the dragon. And yes I agree that at times bite force can be overvalued, but sun bears do have impressive skulls and canine teeth and I dont think they are inferior in weaponry to other carnivorans, even if they arent predators. I should have elaborated, I meant it has less ability to effectively use it's weapons. Lol, please elaborate more. You mean less effectively, because it isnt a predator? Fair enough, though I dont yet agree. Sun bears are described as very aggressive. I think sun bears are an impressive ursid species. |

As in, less agile/less killing instinct than certain other large mammalian predators. |

Fair enough, though I dont yet agree. Sun bears are described as very aggressive. I think sun bears are an impressive ursid species. Rending flesh is a very very different task from ripping open part of a rotting log or scratching a tree, the bears claws are not suited to the task and like most bears are probably completely incapable of producing truly serious damage , couple that with the extreme durability of Varanids (especially this one) and the results are going to be very lack luster. An impressive looking skull is all well and good but what matters is results and if you want results, look to the bears opponent here, The Ora can cripple animals ten times its size with a single bite, bite for bite I highly doubt the bear can can stack up to the Ora regardless of its bite force. |

Komodo has the slight edge here against the Sun bear. At parity though it could be close.

Komodo dragon wins. One bite and it's pretty much got this locked up.

kommdo dragon takes this , its simply too bulky and large however it may die of injures after the battle.

^I agree. I'd favor the Komodo about 7/10 at parity, and with that 40 percent mass advantage (50 vs 70 kg), it's pretty much guaranteed a win.
That said, the bear wouldn't be easy at all, and would put up a MASSIVE effort.

The sun bear's aggression is overatted but it still has enough weapons to cause of damage (e.g long claws and a strong bite). The poisonous bite of the komodo dragon killed a buffalo only after several days. Wild komodos reach 150 pounds while undisturbed captive komodos can reach 350 pounds.
