Interesting that this buy has the Cardassian Spoonhead anatomy, suggesting a common heritage, but is somehow no longer a tetrapod?!?! That is a fascinating mutation!

I loved the spoonhead. And its leathery hide and meanness seemed about right for Cardassia to me lol

Also love the unusual tripod body -- am I misremembering, or did you do the six-hooved Talarian beastie mentioned in TNG's "Suddenly Human," too?
 
I really like those, the lynx has a really awesome camouflage and the Cardarcruux is kinda like a land hammerhead shark, so lots if big teeth, screw camouflage NOM NOM!!:mallory:
 
Okay, I'm taken with the Betelguesean Lynx with its owlish face and talons. Does it use that ruffle of feathers/fur to channel sound the way some owls do? Barn owls have arrays of facial muscles just for adjusting their feathers to fine-tune sound capture. I'd guess it isn't a very large creature, since that kind of adaptation is best suited for small prey that rustles ground cover like leaves.

Which I guess then tells us something about the lynx's environment: earthlike foliage, probably neither dry nor frozen wasteland ... maybe a sub-arctic tundra or grasslands? They're probably territorial and generally solitary and prone to sitting like a cat, but unmoving for hours except to swivel its head this way or that. These animals are stealthy, not just to avoid alerting prey, but also to avoid being prey to larger predators. They are sentinels. Observers. Watchers who witness the life and death of all the creatures around them who never even knew the lynx was there.

...

Or, maybe it's just a party animal eternally off-balance and wasted on ripe ja-ja berries. Who knows?!
 
Ha! I immediately thought Owlbear. But I have been on a lengthy D&D kick.

--Alex
LOL :)

I too "saw" an owlbear and I've participated in maybe less than 5 D&D sessions in my entire life (and none of those involved an owlbear).
lol D&D for da win!

The similarity doesn't change the fact that the lynx looks cool. :techman:
Thanks :)

Good FSM. Have you checked your family tree? Because that T'kryrs and some of your other recent entries make me think that H.P. Lovecraft and H.R. Giger are lurking in nearby branches. F me these are disturbing. (And amazing.)
 
Guess they will bite if you call them four eyes.. :p
lol
