I see what you're saying. The main reason, is the spines, I don't know of any other lizard that has spines like that, other than the Chinese Water Dragon, which has quazi-sharp protrusions on the side of its face, and has a similar skull shape to that of Varan's.

I actually had a pet baby Chinese Water Dragon once, his name was Steven Odis Scarbrough, I really wanted his initials to spell S.O.S., his first name should've been Tokyo. Steve passed away, about three years ago, I think he was deathly ill.
