Creature Concept 1




I call this badass Sabertooth, it has extremely fast agility when trying to catch its prey, often head butting with its skull a number of times until the prey can't handle anymore and just collapses from the pain, that or a sneak attack, where Sabertooth will use its massive two main teeth to bite into the prey's throat and crush it, causing it to suffocate.
Its razor sharp claws allow the sabertooth to latch onto prey being difficult for it to escape.

This creature will be found in wasteland or dry areas, resting on top of a high rock, or hiding in between rocks/cracks ready to strike a passing meal. Appearance consists of most of its body being skin which is a dark colour, only fur that’s on it is its belly area. The face is hidden by a skull that has fused with it making it completely hidden and covered, the black eyes act as protectors for the Sabertooth’s eyes from the sun, could say there like sunglasses. No one has actually seen what the sabertooth’s face looks like, so there’s a possibility that it doesn’t have a face at all.
The spikes located on the Sabertooth’s head and body are also made of bone but come out a dark colour from its skin melting onto it as they grow out, myths say they describe the Sabertooth’s age.

No one knows for sure if this creature is dead or alive, it doesn’t have a tongue so it can't taste what it eats but yet, it still does and it can survive out in extremely hot weather without water.

  1. Love the Story! brilliant, and loving the shading on the skull especially.
    the creature it'self needs a little more work merely in the aspect it seems quite earthly in its body shape, the barbs and skull are totally the right direction! so thats great, just needs a little work in the body shape is all.
    going with the cave-era bestial look, possibly arching its back, hyena spots, a shaggy mane, ect?
    looking forward to seeing what else you come up with also
