The striped lacerorn is the largest species of the Temnorhynchornis genus. A native to the Towertree Forests and the lower reaches of the Assendion Forests, they dominate the arboreal environment as the apex predator.

The Towertree Forests are one the most expansive habitats in the Panmezo Ring. With the towertrees themselves being the only "tree" plants within these forests, with their immense size and structure, they create an environment especially condusive for giant arboreal animals to inhabit. 
The striped lacerorn, largest of its genus, resides here. They are powerful and agile predators, being more than capable of punching above their weight class and subduing prey up to four times their size. And yet despite this, they are unique amongst their relatives for a near strict preference for targetting small game. Even their sympatric sister species, the smaller cackling lacerorn, regularly preys upon larger animals up in the trees.
The reason they do this is perhaps to avoid competition with the larger predators on ground level, and possibly with their cousins as well. 
A monogamous species, they pair up for the remainder of their eight decades long lives. A clutch of 4 eggs is laid every six to seven years, with the hatched young being cared for extensively. 
A curious aspect of the striped lacerorns is the tendency for older individuals to assist their blood relatives, mostly children and grandchildren, in raising their own offspring. It's unknown why this sudden altruistic behavior arises in their twilight years. It could simply be the instinct to preserve their own bloodlines expanding over to their continued descendants, or maybe, just maybe, a look into a level of intelligence higher than what was previously expected.

Drakoga and Swizel enacting a classic SA2 scene, reflecting their dynamic as a Shadow-Sonic/Godzilla-Zilla duo Also help that their human forms, Damian and Stanley, are canonically fans of the Sonic series, a poetic in-universe irony of life imitating art :3

Dakoga (left) and Swizel (right) engaging in a classic scene straight from "Sonic Adventure 2", Swizel here depicted with a redesign using sleeker speedy Carnotaurus depictions as a template to help mirror Drakoga, and make sense of their in-canon dynamic being based on Sonic and Shadow as well as Zilla and Godzilla

Dialogue as the following:
- Swizel: "I found you, faker!"
- Drakoga: "Faker? I think YOU'RE the fake Devil around here. You're comparing yourself to me? HAH! You're not even good enough to be my fake."

Devastated by the news of Sam Niell's passing yesterday. Having brought us so much joy in our childhoods and got us into palaeontology in his role as Alan Grant, we owe so much to him. Rest in peace, Sam, and thank you for the joy brought into our world... #JurassicPark

A Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, both males, with my personal colours, sharing a moment of silent contemplation as they stand where Dr. Alan Grant had once stood, unsure what drew them here and why, yet compelled to share a moment of peace before moving on

"I am Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate lifeform. Black-hearted evil, brave-hearted hero, I am all of me. This is who I am." Finally got to draw fanart of my boi Shadow, with some of my own personal stylistic flare added, which I may or may not end up using IF I ever got to making a Sonic story

My own personal design of Shadow the Hedgehog, featuring extra spikiness on his quills, and extra splashes of red on the ears, shoulders and back, ruff of fur on the cheeks, a slight streak pointing outwards from the corner of his eyes, a slit pupil, and an extra set of quills on the back just below the other 2 dorsal quills

"Even a man who is pure in heart, and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the moon is full and bright." Sod it, I am already a wolf! Even let myself howl at the full moon last weekend to let my emotions loose 🤣

Art depiction of myself, showing my human face at the bottom with wolf-gold eyes and sharpened canine teeth, while up top, my werewolf form, taking direct inspiration from the design from 'An American Werewolf in London'

One of a few things I plan for my Halloween art :'3 One of my OCs, Kasifer the Saurophaganax, having a horrific nightmare of transforming into a sauropod, the very thing he was supposed to hunt and eat And yes, this is based on the recent discourse over the SVP abstract regarding Saurophaganax

I’ve been watching a lot of @bobsheaux.bsky.social ‘s Land Before Time reviews by the daily. I thought why not also try my own spin on this beloved series. Thanks to him and RaisorBlade, I’m also going to apply all their fixes and criticisms. A comic and written take is soon~

Four species of cetacean can be found in the Seridic wetlands. Only the Seridic river dolphin (top) is a permanent resident. The other three (estuarine dolphin, river whale, and Crescent narwhal) venture with high waters during the wet season then retreat to estuaries and the gulf during dry months.

The ba'khar, a massive fish-specialized megaraptoran endemic to the Crescent of southern Ni'Khar, most abundant in the Seridic Wetlands. Males have a sail on their back for display and to anchor lifting muscles and ligaments of the neck. They also sport a pronged midline crest.

I've got more time and motivation now, so I wanted to revisit some old comic characters of mine. These are unrevealed characters from my webcomic- Rulith Rebel, which is on an indeterminate hiatus for now. Still, these characters hold such a special place in my heart. #LemurskiiOCs
