This entity is a space traveler. They have visited many different planets in order to study the different fauna and floral that reside there. They came across Earth and ended up mimicking the animals there.
Muzzle is inspired by a ball python with an addition of catfish whiskers. The whiskers can grow or shrink according to the weather. Their feet take inspiration from elephants. Tail is a Lions like tail. Head crest is inspired by the duck-billed dinosaur, Parasaurolophus.
They are currently studying crystals and crystal-trees from some far off planet.
