Are these the lizards that if they bite you they will just calmly track you down and wait until you drop dead. Then eat you?

No, that’s a different monitor, from Indonesia — the komodo dragon.

No...You're referencing the Komodo Dragon


The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami.[3] A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum of length 8 ft in rare cases and weighing up to around 150 lb. The mouth contains saliva that is so infectious.

Yep. Some species are venomous, all species have a really nasty bite that will become infected. They are intelligent (for lizards), faster than they look, and should not be approached. They should be shot from a distance.
