Thing looks like a descendant of the dinosaurs!!! Weird! Is it soft or hard that fleshy thing at the top? How weird that it is so plain and the rest of him is so colorful!

He is rather strange looking. The casques on his head is very hard, kind of like a rhinoceros horn.

They're wild in Germany? Or in the zoos there?
'Helmetbird' makes sense!

They're a little scary to see in the wild.
