Description Name: Shovel-Tusked Scrofathere
Scientific Name: Pachybelodon
Length: 17 feet/ 5.8 meters long
Height: 9 feet/ 2.7 meters tall
Weight: 8 tons/ 7.3 metric tons
Habitat: Northern Coniferous forests and steppe grasslands of Russia and Eurasia.
Ancestor: Eurasian Boar

Of all the scrofatheres, the Shovel-Tusked Scrofathere is one of the weirdest. It shares aspects of another bizarre shovel-tusked creature: Platybelodon. However, unlike it's convergent counterpart, it uses its tusks for a multitude of food, which brings another notable feature of this beast. It's diet is consistent of a variety of things. And by a variety of things, I mean it eats EVERYTHING! From trees and grass to carcasses and even insects and fungi, this voracious eater will leave its plate clean. Along with the entire table. That's because its teeth are unique in design which allow grinding, tearing, shearing, and a multitude of other things. This beast is that one person who takes one of everything in an all-you-can-eat buffet!

I'm trying to slip drawing time in (THAT'S WHAT HE SAID!!!), but the opportunity didn't arrive. THANKFULLY, it's fall break for me, which gives me four days to get my contest entries, my passed due requests, and some things I would like to draw prepared.

I'd like to know Mr.Scrofathere's secrets! I'm sure that he's quite wise, after all.

Alright, now let's be reasonable. He may be handsome, but he's not the wittiest fellow...
