Description
I'll be doing a series of creature designs with a more scientific/speculative approach when Designing & writing their lore 😁

Full Scientific Name: Prionorhynchus Acanthoramosaurus

Meaning: "The Saw Beak Armored Lizard"

Upon first discovery, scientist are baffled at the bizarre appearance of this creature.

Prionorhynchus dubbed as the "Saw Beak" is part of the clade nicknamed the "Shield Backs"

Upon closer observation, the creature's behavior yielded results of the type of life style Prionorhynchus led. An arboreal animal, it spends its entire life at the treetops of it's jungle home, an omnivorous animal feeding on the larvae of giant bugs, Ants & Termite mounds, fruits, honey and small animals with the use of it's long sticky tongue.

Like what it's name suggested, Prionorhynchus bobs its head in a sawing motion in order to break through the tough tree trunks/branches.

Apart from its distinguishing feature of the Saw beak, Prionorhynchus also possessed a zygodactyl like feet from both of it's front and hind limbs, Enabling it to comfortably travers the thick branches of the tree tops.

This creature also possessed an armored plated back with coverings of various size osteoderms and a very long and muscular prehensile tail ending In a hook clawed tip.

Further data needs to be obtained for future research of this creature.
