Argusraptors are among the many kinds of meat-eating creatures native to the planet Sagan 4, filling scavenging, predatory, and superpredatory (via pack hunting) niches across the Wallace supercontinent. As their name suggests, they have 12 eyes and bear a superficial resemblance to Earth's paravian dinosaurs. Indeed, they are very closely related to Sagan 4's answers to birds, the biats. As a type of sauceback, their lungs are in their tail and they breathe through spiracles; in this case, they are contained under the four cere plates along the tail, which are behind the "sauce" plate over the hip (which does not contain its own lungs). Their pupils are white instead of black, because of their internal structure, which bears a reflection-based alternative to the lens.

Sagan 4's saucebacks, including argusraptors, are a beginner's test of one's ability to work with unfamiliar creature anatomy. Can you draw one?
