<p>The genus <i>Heloderma</i> contains the <a href="Gila_monster" title="Gila monster">Gila monster</a> (<i>H. suspectum</i>) and four species of beaded lizards. Their eyes are immobile and fixed in their heads.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Gila monster is a large, stocky, mostly slow-moving reptile that prefers arid deserts. Beaded lizards are seen to be more agile and seem to prefer more humid surroundings.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The tails of all species of <i>Heloderma</i> are used as fat-storage organs. The scales of the head, back, and tail are bead-like, containing <a href="Osteoderms" class="mw-redirect" title="Osteoderms">osteoderms</a> for better protection. The scales of the belly are free from osteoderms. Most species are dark in color, with yellowish or pinkish markings.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-EoR_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EoR-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Venom">Venom</h2></div>
<p>The venom glands of <i>Heloderma</i> are located at the end of the lower jaws, unlike <a href="Snake" title="Snake">snakes</a>' venom glands, which are located behind the eyes. Also, unlike snakes, the Gila monster and beaded lizards lack the musculature to inject venom immediately. They have to <a href="Mastication" class="mw-redirect" title="Mastication">chew</a> the venom into the flesh of a victim. <i>Heloderma</i> venom is used only in defense. Venom glands are believed to have evolved early in the lineage leading to the modern helodermatids, as their presence is indicated even in the 65-million-year-old fossil genus <i>Paraderma</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-EoR_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EoR-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In general, one adult helodermatid has around 15 to 20 mg of venom, while the estimated lethal dose for humans is 5 to 8 mg.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Venom production among lizards was long thought to be unique to this genus, but researchers studying venom production have proposed many others also produce some venom, all placed in the clade <a href="Toxicofera" title="Toxicofera">Toxicofera</a>, which includes all <a href="Snake" title="Snake">snakes</a> and 13 other families of lizards.<sup id="cite_ref-Fry2006_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fry2006-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, except for snakes, helodermatids, and possibly varanids, envenomation is not considered medically significant for humans.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Diet">Diet</h2></div>

Members of the genus <i>Heloderma</i> have many extinct relatives in the Helodermatidae, whose evolutionary history may be traced back to the <a href="Cretaceous" title="Cretaceous">Cretaceous</a> period, such as <i><a href="Estesia" title="Estesia">Estesia</a></i>.

<p>The <a href="Type_species" title="Type species">type species</a> is <i>Heloderma horridum</i>, which was first described in 1829 by <a href="Arend_Friedrich_August_Wiegmann" title="Arend Friedrich August Wiegmann">Arend Wiegmann</a>. Although he originally assigned it the generic name <i>Trachyderma</i>, he changed it to <i>Heloderma</i> six months later, which means "studded skin", from the <a href="Ancient_Greek" title="Ancient Greek">Ancient Greek</a> words <i>hêlos</i> (ηλος)—the head of a nail or stud—and <i>derma</i> (δερμα), meaning skin.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Conrad, 2008 and Estes et al., 1988 (using morphological data) place the Helodermatidae within <a href="Varanoidea" title="Varanoidea">Varanoidea</a> along with <a href="Earless_monitor_lizard" title="Earless monitor lizard"><i>Lanthanotus borneensis</i></a> and <i><a href="Varanus" class="mw-redirect" title="Varanus">Varanus</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, Estes et al., 1988 understood the Helodermatidae as having split earlier from <i>Lanthanotus</i> and <i>Varanus</i>, whereas Conrad, 2008 groups them at the same branch point.
</p><p>
In contrast, molecular studies have identified <i>Heloderma </i>as being within the Anguioidea along with Anguidae and Xenosauridae, but specifically sister to Anguidae.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p>
