We’ve seen a lot of giant dragon sculptures and even real-life flying dragons, but those are nothing compared to what you’re about to see today. This giant thing you’re looking at here is not a scene from a fantasy movie. It’s not photoshopped either. This my friend, is the world’s largest walking robot. And yes, it’s a dragon that breathes fire.

The giant awesome thing was built by a German company named Zollner Elektronik. They are the current Guinness World Record holder for making this the “Largest Walking Robot” which stands at 51-foot-long, weighing in at 11 tons.

From the looks of that picture, it seems to take about four people to control it (assuming they’re holding remote controllers).  According to CNET, this robot dragon runs on a 2.0-liter Diesel engine and has wings that span 12 meters, which are said to be filled with stage blood to allow this dragon to die a horrible death upon request. The machine was designed by the brains of 15 brilliant researchers, and it has taken over 6 years to successfully finish the project. Truly an epic creation. 

Check out the giant thing in action after the break.
