Just started doodling. I kinda like it so I may do another drawing of it later. Like the dragon mask-esque thing but I don't really think it matches the rest of the design so I may change that at some point. I may also add a mane cause why not, I think It would be neat. By the way, Ignore the terrible open mouth ref. Decided to put it in last minute.
I came up with a little about this creature, cause I obviously have nothing better to do.
*Muscles around the back spikes that allows the creature to lay them flat, flare them up, and move them slightly from one side to another.
*It will raise it's tail above its head when it feels threatened (see the far left sketch. The anatomy of it is off and its much larger but it gets the idea across.)
*The front paws will be used to pick things up. Their back legs can't hold them up to long so they either sit or place whatever it is on their back.
*Though it doesn't look like it (cause I'm lazy and was like "nah I'll just post this now".) the back spikes are on both sides of the creature and will help keep large things from falling off their backs.
*Though they prefer the rain forests, they may also be found in mountainous regions.
*Lucky for these travel happy creatures, they can climb trees and mountains. Not only that but they can also swim.
*They actually prefer to live by rivers and ponds for prey is more frequent. Their need to sun bask is also a major factor in this as well.
*Many will migrate from river to pond and back. It is believed that they do this not only because of their love of traveling but also to help keep the prey population from dropping to drastically.
I have more but I'll stop here before I write a book on them. Hope you enjoy the product of my boredom :D
