Description Terrevanian Anikiths are agile six legged creatures with keratin masks that protect their face. They have poisonous spikes on their back and the back of their head, and the two front legs function much like a preying mantis's. They are about as fast as a panther, but much bigger, and hunt by chasing their prey and pouncing. 

Anikiths are unusual in that they have a hard keratin shell protecting their lungs and stomach instead of ribs, and if cracked or broken, extremely strong acid will pour out, badly injuring whatever was attacking the Anikith. There are two variations of Anikith; Forest and Desert. Forest Anikiths have fur over their entire body and have a longer tail, while desert Anikiths have no fur on their underbelly and are larger than their cousins. Due to the rocky nature of most of Terrevanimus's deserts, a lot of desert variations will have small sharp barbs on their feet to help grip the surface better. 


Anikiths are an open species, you can make one as long as you give me credit and you show me the design to approve.

Thanks! (Though they're not the same species, the one in my avatar's a Salamander)

The Anikith and the guy in my avatar are different species, though they might look the same.

Huh. This is confusing me how so many different pictures you have have different creatures with variations of the mask, but the fur color of one matches the one in your avatar.

Well a lot of them have the same mask because they're from the same planet. If you look in my Terrevanimus section about a third of them have the mask. A lot of them also have the same fur color just because I love that dark tealish color. I guess the best way to tell them apart would be the markings and number of eyes. This one in the avatar I think is the only one with six eyes that is teal.
