Description
Dorky temporary name. A beast of burden native to the Bex homeworld, used for meat, labor, hides and especially for the thick armor plating that covers its dorsal region. The plating is tough but flexible and is used for an almost countless array of things from shelters to jewelry and apparel.Related content

Β Funny. I actually thought its' tongue made it look like either a liquivore (like butterflies that drink nectar and mosquitoes that drink blood) or an insectivore that eats from termite mounds or ant hills (just like anteaters, pangolins, echidnas, numbats, and aardvarks).

Oooo I love your aliens so much! Okay, so I have a question: do I have permission to write a short story about these animals? I'll make sure to give you full credit. I totally also understand if you don't want to let me. But these things just fascinate me so much!

I am very flattered that you like my creations so much!! For right now though, I would rather that you not write a story about them. I have a lot more world building to do myself before I feel comfortable with others doing creative work about them. Thank you for asking!

Okay! I totally understand. Keep working the magic!

Like the proboscis. Reminds me of an insect.
I got an idea for a name: Bortokh sound good?

Very interesting concept!Β I really like the arrangement of plates on the neck!

im wondering where the opening for digestion is, is it in the trunk-like thing or is it somewhere else? but where ever it is, this is a beautiful creature

It's hidden under that flap of skin looking thing, the trunk is meant for grabbing and bringing things back to the mouth.

oh ok, so similar to how elephants use their trunk! i like it, its definitely a tank!Β

Does it feed on nectar? Must be some pretty big flowers!

It's more like a trunk actually, it can grab and manipulate things with it. It's a little bulkier than how I drew it in this picture. It does eat nectar too though!

I enjoy he style of many of your critters. You seem to start by taking forms or concepts we're familiar with, like an elephant, or a hammerhead shark in the case of your Aquatic predator sketch , but giving it a refreshing entirely new twist, whether intended or not. I think making the viewer feel familiar with something, while they know it's something new, is a good way to make art stand out.
Cool work!

Eee! This is so cool. I'm really interested in that mouth... I can imagine them waving at each other with those fancy tendrils to communicate

Exactly! I have a few doodles of their crazy mouths in action, I need to clean them up before I color them though.

He looks yummy. I'll bet he tastes like bison or rhino...

They certainly look tough. Very awesome design again. I'm guessing those tendrils are sensory organs?

The two smaller ones are, the larger one is a manipulating appendage, a lot like an elephants trunk.

More or less. The wilder breed is much more volatile and dangerous. Sort of on moose level. The domesticate breeds are much more manageable, sort of like giant cows.

I was thinking up a scene along those lines

So would the bex eat these? Do they eat theyre food raw or cooked?

Yay, more Bex stuff! How big is this guy?
π: 0 β©: 1
Elephant-ish. The hump of the neck would be as tall as an African elephant, but their bodies are a little longer.

Okay. Those guys are big!

"The plating is tough but flexible and is used for an almost countless array of things..." Oh Yes 
I can imagine very well what you could do with these plates, hope you will show us a few of the things which circle through my mind...
Cool creature by the way

Very interesting back-story.
The beast looks very massive; reminds me of a rhinoceros.
