Description OH LOOK WHO UPDATED

So, this be a new beast that my avarii found on a planet named Kryx, along with other (soon to be drawn) creatures. They only had a short time to gather the most interesting species from that world, because its star was about to go supernova and engulf the planet in flames.

The predatoryx have a unique "center of senses": going from the middle of their head are their ears and nostrils, around them a group of sensitive antennae that can sense the humidity of the air and the slightest changes in the wind. They have 2 opposable thumbs per hand which they also seem to make good use of. The horns at the end of their tails serve for balance and can be used occassionally in fights among themselves.
The carapace that covers the back of their body gets thicker and so heavier by the year. They live for 45-50 years, in groups of 20 to 30 and hatch from eggs. The young have very light "armour", and so they are the fastest, usually the ones who hunt prey. The older ones stay at home, defending their nest from rival groups. They are very social beings and good observers of their surroundings. We can say that they are highly intelligent in their own way, and if it wasn't for their star going supernova, they would be in a good position to evolve further.
Sadly, most of them burned with their homeworld, the 3 groups the avarii had saved leave doubts about their future, being so few left and having to adjust to Aark's environment and other creatures living there.

...

Done. I started to draw the lineart on PS some days earlier, but I realized just how long it takes. ._. So, breaking the combo of entirely digitally drawn pictures, here's one with traditional lineart!

....I won't deny that some parts of the design were inspired by Zerg units >>;
picture, creature and everything (c) me

Juhuu, ein Raptor

Mir gefällt das Konzept sehr gut, dass ihr Panzer härter und schwerer wird und sich damit ihre Aufgabe in ihrer Gruppe verändert.
And the design, of course, because everything dinosaur-inspired is awesome by law of nature
