Description
Some sort of sabre-tooth, scythe-clawed neoazhdarchid from an alternate pleistocene. It gets around by bounding and galloping after its prey before leaping and clinging onto them with its scythe claws and sharp incisors. Packs can take down prey many times their size.Related content

There is only one word for this, and it is WOW! One question, though... does it actually have teeth, or is its beak just serrated to give it the appearance of having fanged cuspids?

just a serrated beak. there's precedence for this in birds, while nothing that has ever lost teeth has reevolved them

it seems i was mistaken with the teeth comment. apparently there is some precedence for teeth re-evolving among pterosaurs

I thought so... although the "sabre-tooth" part of the beak's serrations wouldn't be emulating incisors , but canine teeth .

Amazing concept! One of the most interesting spec-pterosaurs I've seen. Nice to see your work again!

Thanks! I've been super busy but I wanted to get back into at least sketching semi-regularly again.
