Kypur, demon of the plains
This concept is finished for now. Any changes will happen after more of the other concepts are finished, to help it fit into the world a bit more. And they’ll probably be small (coloring, size, tiny bits and bobs etc)
The baby has little to no defenses, but once it grows the little protruding ribs become usable, barbed limbs with a mild poison. If it manages to escape pelt hunters long enough to become an adult, the shorter set of rib-limbs can move independently and show off the unique wings! Its flights are short, but it is fast and agile in the air. It uses these flight bursts to rise above the tall grass plains where it lives and set up and supplement its ground attacks. The adults are considered a suicide mission, but the younger animals are hunted for the shimmering scale hides.
