Do to the their tribal Australian Aboriginal-like way of life, the Burrunjor and Kurrea were a mysterious species of Eta Draconian. These species, along with the Burrunjor species, were ridiculed by their other Draconian relatives for not supporting the Draconian Empire during their times of war and conquest of parts of the Milky Way Galaxy in the heyday of the Draconian Empire. When the rest of the Draconian Empire went from being an terrifying harbingers of death to peaceful protectors of freedom and justice, they turned to the Burrunjor and Kurrea for guidance. The Draconian Empire has now incorporated the beliefs and culture of both species into the rest of the Draconian cultures. 

The Kurrea, like the Burrunjor, were also the ones responsible for teaching Australian Aborigines Aboriginal astronomy, body designs, bullroarers, bush cosmetics, bush foods, bush medicines, cave paintings and designs cut into trees, ceremonial headgear, ceremonial poles, cultural lore, dances, dreaming's, games, geographical locations, how people are required to behave in their communities, initiations, laws of community, paintings, rock art, rock engravings, rules for social behaviour, sacred chants, sacred earth mounds, sacred ground paintings, songlines, songs, stone artifacts, stone objects, stories, structures of society, symbols, technologies, the ceremonies performed in order to ensure continuity of life and land, values, wooden articles, wooden sacred objects, and also the beliefs, values, rules and practices concerning the peoples relationship to the land and water. 

The boomerang was introduced by the Kurrea to the Australian Aborigines to hunt small game like these beings even though the dinosaurians were well suited for hunting without the use of tools.  This species, along with the Kurrea species, was also responsible for the legend of the Dirawong, a benevolant goanna deity who bestowed this knowledge and teachings onto the Australian Aborigines. 

This is my interpretation of Eta Draconians from the star, Eta Draconis, in the constellation, Draco. They were interpreted as being hominoid in shape and stature, but I now beleive this to be an misinterpretation of Dinosaurians, Draconians, and any other reptilian extraterrestrial beings of Earth and beyond.

Stay tuned for more Saurian Prophecies art and more

I like the colors on the new character design. You might just want to add some stripes or splotches on the tail, it looks a little plain right now.

The color looks great! IMHO, i think hind legs should be beefier (they carry lots of weight), stand further from each other, and the overall body should be wider for such a heavy beast. Totally cool one)

Sinosaurus (AKA Kurrea species) are a relative of Cryolophosaurus (AKA Burrunjor species), I wanted to give them the same body structure to show that they are both relatives.
