I tried to visualize my creature the best I could and I came up with the zyva.

The zyva is a savannah/desert living creature. Due to the heat they have become great hunters of the night. They are lithe predator who lives in pack. The pack is run by a alpha couple where the female is the dominate one.

The zyva has a great sense of smell and also great hearing. They are social creatures and together they can bring down big animals. The claws are only used to hold on to they pray while killing it with their strong beak. The beak itself has toothlike spikes, useful for tearing flesh.

Very interesting, nicely done with the concept work.

Wow, very unique appearance. Kinda looks like a big furless cat, but with enough unique twists to make it original. The overall quality is excellent as well. Also, it looks realistic enough so I think it could fit well in MO. Very good job, indeed.

Kinda reminds me of a bat/dog.. I like it very much. Perhaps a great pet for beast trainers.

That is one frightening looking beast. Part cat, part bat, bat who knows what. Great job on the artwork and the description. I particularly like the notion of an alpha couple running the pack. Very well done!

Nice Work. Reminds me of those Egyptian cats a little as well.
Isometric veiws, closeup details, and size comparisons all make it look very professional.

Reminds me of a chupacabra.

That's the best that I've seen.

Thanks for all the comments. Personally I think it looks like a mix of a hairless cat, a rat and a bat. But that wasn't really what I was aiming for then I started, haha.
