Hello! I need some help with identifying what kind of alocasia this guy is. Planta says black velvet and Gemini says Melo. Which is he? Or perhaps neither?

I believe you have a dragon scale. The melo has a rough, highly rigid texture vs the dragon scale has a smoother, more raised ,glossy and leathery scale pattern. Below is my silver dragon scale top, black velvet lower left and melo lower right. Definitely a beautiful plant, especially on clearance 🙂
