Intelligence next to none was a simplistic means to describe Anthemtalon. While some dragons (or other members of his species (or other lizards in general) that were not him for he was quite the perculiar case study) were capable of speaking and acting just like any mammal, Anthemtalon absolutely did no such thing. He slept, and he napped, and he waddled around and ate rotten food all while his attempts at conversation were short and basic. Nothing too extraordinary; a below average lizard he could be considered indeed.
And try to make conversation he did, heaving himself to his talons when he noticed someone that he'd seen around a bit, but hadn't quite spoken to. Or if he had, it had slipped from the front of his mind and was stuck in whatever primordial muck that happened to constitute his thought processes. The mammals around in the camp weren't food; which thankfully was something Anthemtalon had wandered into the Coalition with the knowledge of. Things that spoke weren't for eating. Undoubtedly his bumbling presence wouldn't have been welcomed if he'd accidentally tried to munch one of his peers.
Still, even if he was a slow and lazy and stupid creature, he was still utterly massive for his age and stalking randomly around without set destination was probably unnerving to some. Anthem's size was to be used for nothing more than being able to soak up the sunlight, or to have more strength behind hauling his rotten meals around. Maybe he should try to invite others to sunbathe with him? The komodo monitor had noticed quite the lack of others sunbathing, and that simply wasn't acceptable to him. He settled for turning to the first person he saw once the thought crossed his mind, heaving his body over with typical drowsy demeanor prevailing.
"Hi," the lizard grumbled, tongue flicking as it often did whenever he spoke, or walked, or rested; truly any time he was not sleeping he was trying to get a grasp on all the scents spiraling through the air. "Doing anything." While meant as a question, the tone doesn't properly sound, and Anthem relied more on the slight tilt of his head in order to convey his curiosity. "Busy?" Ah, it sounded better that time, and his maw smacked with delight at his bare improvement in speaking.
