here is Mato, short for 'nematocyte' an explosive cell containing one giant secretory organelle or cnida. cnidae are used for prey capture and defense from predators .

mato is a chrysaora basilisk, a species made by of gators & feigns .

he started out a strawberry roan, then creamello and finally a sooty buckskin with deep red/black points, which explains the timer. i think he looks pretty snazzy, the red fits well with the mostly natural markings and colors. he's actually a bit darker that shown here because of all the pretty highlights.
[ without shading or highlights // with shading but no highlights ]
im so excited about him, he's a big goofball even though he looks all manly and macho, he just likes to gallop around and tick others off aha. i hope i can get him a rp, he'd be super fun to develop.

also, im not sure about average height, life span and what not, so once that is known i'll update this with his more detailed info.
