Description

(Eclipsis Naviruptor)🌒

"The terror of the skies and oceans. The Kongamato are a dinosaurian species known most for their power to obfuscate the sun with their large wingspans and scales which can absorb light to such an extent that it provokes an artificial eclipse. They are believed to have existed since ancient times alongside other megafauna—which could explain their enormous size given they would have to hunt prey just as huge—but ever since, its population has decreased and (luckily) are somewhat rare to come across. A Kongamato will often hunt and spend its days in solitude. With scales far too resistant to be penetrated they can travel freely as an apex across the lands and elements. Because of their gigantic sizes, smaller creatures are not sufficient and will be attracted to large crowds—like human villages—to devour whole. It is why eclipses are feared and associated with the advent of these terrifying beings. They have adapted to survive months and even years without any nutrients if lying dormant or keeping a low activity. An overall frightening species that defies extinction.

There exists a notable sexual dimorphism within the species. Starting from the flaplings (younglings), males have a red growing crest over their skeletal foreheads and the tip of their tails is pointing like a sail while females appear more simplistic yet very similar to their counterparts at this stage—both having a white feathery body that will be replaced with scales upon growing. The differences however vastly increase upon reaching adulthood, females (who can exclusively reproduce asexually in some instances) tower over males in size and grow white scales while the latter acquire a black hue instead. The Kongamato are nigh impossible to tame given their unpredictable, often hostile nature and sheer destructive power whether they intend it or not."
