Hail to the Kaiser, baby!

Today, as promised, I'll show you my second elemental alien creature - The Feuerkaiser (engl.: fire emporer, lat.: imperator ignis)! You see, I've added the lineart to show you my working progress, just for fun.
I think this guy looks really cool, i had a lot of fun by designing its horns and spikes (the "bird" on his knee is a little scavanger).

A few weeks ago I submitted a picture called "Symbiosis", the creature you see there is a relative of the Feuerkaiser, but a herbivore. Whats special of these related creatures is the symbiosis with smaller beings, called "stimulus vivus" (living thorns). These ones are the descendents of tick-like parasite, but the parasitism changed into symbiosis, during the co-evulution.
The bigger creature, called "gestator stimuli" (bearer of thorns), feeds the thorns with a highly energetic liquid. For thanks the thorns clean the body of the gestator, feed it with plants or fruits and protect it from enemies.

The thorns of the Feuerkaiser developed a special ability: they learned to make fire! The Feuerkaiser patrols along the wide steppes and forests of its world, while its thorns make little fires, which burn the vegetation, so every valid animal will just get in panic and flee. Now, its the turn of the Feuerkaiser. Its skin is very insensible against high temperatures and fire, so it marshs into the fire and snatches every fleeing critter with its long tongue.

This way of hunting was inspired by the Aborigines from Australia. But I think they overdid it with the fire and so their continent become the dryest one of all (heard that from a documentary). The Feuerkaiser dont has to be worried about that. Its planets conditions can compensate its fires, so vegetation and food will be produced in abundance.

So, hope you like these one! Please comment, keep on watching and - praise the Kaiser!!!
