Question
A library whose logo is this animal includes the TableGen tool, which takes an input “target description” file with extension .td. A green one of these animals named Konqi is a mascot for the creator of the Plasma Desktop, KDE. The NSA open-sourced their internal reverse engineering tool in 2019, which appropriately for its name depicts this animal in its logo. In an image, the phrases “LALR parser generator” and “syntax directed translation” are written on a person next to one of these animals representing complexity. Clang is a “frontend” that uses a project with this animal logo as a “backend”; that compiler toolchain is (*) LLVM. Monica Lam became a co-author alongside Jeffrey Ullmann and Alfred Aho for the second edition of a textbook with this animal on the cover. For 10 points, several classic textbooks about compiler design are nicknamed for their color and what animal being battled on the cover? ■END■
ANSWER: dragons [accept wyverns] (The NSA tool is Ghidra, named after the Godzilla enemy King Ghidorah.)
