Description

Tusked alpterosaur based on the seed pod of the North American Devil's Claw Proboscidea louisianica:

The toothy serrations in the cleft between the "tusks" also make the fruit ripe for repurposing into an alt Atopodentatus unicus, don't you think? Β Not that Atopodentatus needs to get any stranger.

I could see the middle prong of the seed pod being some kind of extendable tongue or proboscis. Maybe I shall draw an alternate animal from the pod!

Oh, you totally should! Β I think that would actually be an awesome idea for a fantasy book/project/whateveh--give a bunch of artists the same "prompt" and see what they come up with...!

Wowzers! Babirusa tusks look good on everything, I do not know why they are not a common resource on artistic imagery already.Β
