Manticore - A lion with the head of a human and the tail of a scorpion. It uses a human head to lure prey and shoots venomous spines that paralyze its prey -- only to devour them whole. (Inspiration for the character from Onward!)

Sneak peak at illustrations I'm doing for the Dinosaur Feeding Biology book (WIP!). 🦕
Hey, I recently hit 2,000 followers! Hooray! Hello everyone -- I'm Ali and my research looks at head muscles of herbivorous dinosaurs, dicynodonts, and elephants and their extinct proboscidean relatives! Thanks for following. :)
Parasaurolophus. I think they're getting cleaner! Need to fix up and colorize all the others. Many more to illustrate, too, but I think that's enough posting them for now. When the book finally gets finished, you'll see a lot more!
