So I decided to make this a thing. This is a creature purely created by me (jokingly at the beginning), but now I decided to keep it as one of my species and try to develop it as a concept. For now all I have here is the head, but in the future I'll try to portray it's entire body (which looks pretty much like a wyvern's).

Recently I've been trying to link all my ideas and concepts in a single world so I've imagined a planet (or more) where all the things in my mind live. But I need a lot of time and work to draw the lines of such a complex idea and of course, I still need to imagine a lot of things and conceive them in a way that makes at least a little sense to the science we know.
But it's not the moment now to write about my planet (it doesn't even have a name yet), but I can begin this with a little step which is writing some things about this species (that probably will need it's own name too... it's not really a kind of dragon). So here are some introductory notions about it:
- firstly, this is a male. The sexual dimorphism in this species is similar to many modern birds, the males present an obviously larger crest on their head which is bony and sharp, probably useful not only in courtship but also in combat. And their colors are also brighter, but not entirely different than the females'.
- their size may vary according to the subspecies they belong to, but the most common ones are about 1.30 to 1.50 m (51 to 59 in) high.
- their diet is based on meat, but they also prefer consuming certain fruits during one or two months of the year.
- they have only four pairs of teeth, all visible, sharp and thin as a razor, but still very strong, enhancing a bite nearly impossible to escape. They are not venomous and don't present toxic saliva.
- they have a pair of normal eyes, with an elongated pupil, and tree pairs of rudimentary eyes that don't present eyelids and are sensible to various radiations that pass by the senses of most animals.
- the back spikes are protuberances of the spine and serve to defense.
- as I said they resemble wyverns, which means they have a pair of wings and a pair of legs.

This is all I could think of now, but I'll come back to these guys with more information
And one last thing, the subspecies present various colors, this is the original one, but I'll paint it in more ways soon
