Description
I love the future predator from the ITV series Primeval, but it is supposed to be a large ground dwelling carnivorous bat, I feel the show's design is a bit too reptilian, so I thought I would update it to be a bit more reminiscent of its bat ancestry. I kept the overall shape as a quadrupedal knuckle walker, but I made the vestigial figures more visible and with a slight membrane on the arms, and a covering of fur on the body, I've also changed the feet, small bats have five toes all fairly similar in length with small hooked claws, so i got rid of the more 'dinosaurian' three toed feet and gave it five toes with hooked mammalian claws but adapted the foot to be digitigrade to help it sprint, the head is relatively the same with a much larger brain case and jutting jaws with sharp teeth, but the ears are still on the front of the head but i have kept the large external ears of a bat as i feel it would be likely that an animal using echo location would still need large external ears is to help locate the direction of prey. apart from a few other minor changes I've kept it the same, I kept the skin the grey of the show but changed the fur to the brown with black and white markings from one of the toy variants. by no means this means I dislike the shows version but I thought it would be fun to update it a bit
