What Is Reptilicus About?

The premise of Reptilicus without spoilers.

A fragment of a prehistoric reptile’s tail is unearthed in Denmark, triggering the regeneration of the entire 50‑million‑year‑old monster. Covered in virtually impenetrable scales, the creature can walk, swim and even fly. As it rampages through towns, it tears down buildings and wreaks havoc, proving virtually indestructible and a relentless nuisance for anyone trying to stop it.
