Description A pissed off male house creature LOL. Probably protecting his territory.

These guys were harder to come up with then the planes or ships since they're just all boxy and shit with no animalistic qualities to easily conjure up with..

Got some inspiration from the monster house(dur) though personally this isn't the first animalistic house I've ever drawn, I used to draw them back in high school but didn't anymore. (except then i didn't draw them with legs..boring lol)

These guys went through some rethoughts before getting on here.

I got another profile page on them explaining them better..

Basically they are ground diggers and ambush predators. They have very muscular but stubby back legs and very long front legs which they normally keep folding under themselves(unless hunting.)

They have short stocky bodies that are covered in keratin plates not unlike scales of reptiles.

They have symmetrical facades of course(otherwise it would be all dorky and weird lol)

They are puzzling creatures as they are really neither mammals nor reptiles.. Probably a separate line that evolved along mammals and dinosaurs..

They sport plates along the sides of their bodies. The plates are very well-developed over their backsides with leathery skin on their undersides. They have very ropey like appendages that dangle from their chins and tails, somewhat similar to hair) They lay eggs and don't lactate but are warm-blooded creatures with mammal-like behaviors.

They regularly dig out holes in the ground to lay in, sometimes for several weeks. They have slow metabolisms and can live for over 100+ years.

Males have more elaborate facial ornaments then females do and are bigger. They are territorial to other males but females can invade any territory. Females will raise their young in the father's territory(otherwise the young will be killed)

Young stick with their mothers for about 8 years. Females will breed every 4 years. Very few young survive to adulthood. Stranger males being the main predators.

Not much is really known about their natural behavior as they are secretive and seem to ignore human presence even when approached. They have been found to be very hard to domesticate and have an aloof disposition no matter how they are raised.

They kill via ambush, using their huge killing claws on their front limbs to hook prey.

Kind of reminds me of the "Hell House" enemy from Final Fantasy 7; I was always oddly-fascinated with it.
