Bear hug.... or not...

Front, Side and Scale, Back, Skeleton.

Completed design

Originally inspired by a Bear/Beaver cross this design underwent some design decisions turning it into a Bear/Hyena inspired design. This creature has a powerful bone destroying jaw with two prominent canines which puncture even the thickest skin and bone with ease.

They can be seen hunting in packs of up to 10 and even working seemingly together to take down larger prey. These intelligent creatures can be seen assessing situations... sitting on their hind quarters and looking out as if they are working something out? Perhaps their next move? I wouldn't advise hanging around to find out!

Their fur provides a highly camouflaged coat against the dense woodland back drop. They can be located in woodland areas and occasionally upon the plains when scouting for larger meals, this tends to happen within the colder months when most creatures are hibernating and larger prey like the Rhino/Bull seems the only obvious target...

When running on all fours this creatures can reach speeds of 10-15mph, which as part of a group is fast enough to take down larger prey. This creature is built up mainly of solid bone, strong muscle mass and dense fur standing at around a metre in height when fully grown and sat on their rear limbs.
