Description A new creature that I actually really like. Still developing and I haven’t quite chosen a name for them yet but I imagine they live in the plains and hunt large game. Their claws are sharp and hooked to latch onto prey. Extra padding on their toes gives support when running. A long, weighted tail gives it balance when dashing after prey that uses a zig-zag motion when trying to escape (like antelope do). To make up for weak jaws, these predators have snake-like retractable fangs with fast acting poison that keeps the victim’s blood from clotting. This predator will then follow a trail of blood left by its target and by the time it is found the prey will (usually) be dead and ready to devour. The visible rows of teeth are for hooking onto animals and the teeth used for grinding up flesh are hidden farther inside the long mouth.

Still working out which senses are used to hunt because they have no eyes and reptile-like ears. hmmm… more thinking will have to go into these guys later.

Thanks. I'm currently working on a large description sheet describing color variations, social behavior and many more aspects!
